This week in television history: "Batman: The Animated Series" debuts in prime time on December 13, 1992 on the Fox Television Network. Produced by director Tim Burton, director of the highly successful "Batman" films of the 80's, this series presented a more somber caped crusader than previous versions shown on television.
The vocal cast included such television veterans as Melissa Gilbert ("Little House on the Prarie") as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (The F.B.I.") as Alfred, Bruce Wayne's loyal butler. Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars") was the voice of the Joker. For more information please see http://www.batmantas.com.
