The New Batman Adventures (often shortened TNBA) is the successor to the Emmy Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Although bearing different character designs and animation styles, both shows take place in the same continuity, with TNBA set a few years after Batman: TAS. The series aired on The WB from September 13, 1997 to January 16, 1999. According to the book Batman Animated, series writer Paul Dini originally wanted the new show to be titled Batman: Gotham Knights, but it was rejected by the producers. To better adhere with the prior DVD sets of the original series, the DVD release of this show is titled Batman: The Animated Series - Volume 4 (from The New Batman Adventures).

Stories in this series tend to give more focus to Batman's supporting cast, which include fellow crimefighters Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl, among others. The show also features guest stars such as Supergirl, Etrigan and The Creeper; characters who would later appear with Batman in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. The series takes place around the same time as Superman: The Animated Series.
