Gotham Girls

Who wanted this? 20 year later they made almost the same product that no one asked for or cared about.

Hollyweird doesn't learn. Nor do they care.

I enjoyed Gotham Girls very much and would love to see new episodes of this online series.It was amazing to see characters I have been familiar with all my life on the Internet. Would love to see more online animation with both DC and Marvel characters. With broadband technology we can see more of this in the near future hopefully. Already we can see music videos, news and some people already are getting movies on their computers I hear. I don't know if it should go that far, since that is what the big flat screen TV's are for. Batgirl has always been one of my favorite characters next to Batman himself. One of the best things of animation has always been strong vocal characterizations starting with the old radio actors down to todays generation of vocal actors.

Just watched all webisodes of this series. Pretty good idea. Too bad that it isn't on the TUBE. But glad to see it somewhere, good uses of original voices. THANKS to all those involved. Let's see more of the Gotham Girls.

Gotham Girls is a series of web shorts produced by Warner Bros from 2000 to 2002 (three seasons of 10 episodes each), focusing on the female superheroes and supervillains of Gotham City. Every episode features Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman. Recurring characters include Zatanna, Renee Montoya, and the only prominent male character, Commissioner Jim Gordon.

All episodes of the first two seasons are self-contained and very comedic, whilst the third season shifts to a more serious tone, and tells a connecting story (around 30 mins long in all) about the mysterious disappearance of every male in Gotham City, and how Batgirl, Harley, Ivy, and Catwoman put aside their differences and work together to solve the mystery and bring the men back. The show is set firmly in the DCAU, with the same distinctive character designs and general art style, with several BTAS/TNBA voice actors reprising their roles,

Tara Strong - Batgirl, Arleen Sorkin - Harley Quinn, Diane Pershing - Poison Ivy, Adrienne Barbeau - Catwoman (Barbeau also takes over the role of Renee Montoya), and Bob Hastings - Commissioner Gordon

The first two seasons range from mildly amusing to occasionally laugh-out-loud, whilst the third is pretty gripping and wouldn't have felt out of place in BTAS/TNBA. All the returning voice actors are note-perfect, and the supporting cast do a fine job. 7.5/10.

Like Batman cartoons? Depressed that all we have left in terms of new episodes is the decidedly sub-par "The Batman" series? Check out these shorts for a reminder of when WB's Batman cartoons were exciting, sharp, and funny.

The plot concerns the eyebrow-raising prospect of all of Gotham's men suddenly disappearing, slashing Gotham's police department by %80 and leaving the costumed villain count at three (Baby Doll appears to be M.I.A). The flash animation is a little iffy at times, but great character design and quick pacing makes it highly watchable. Plus you get the same great voice acting as the series - Arleen Sorkin as Harley is reason enough to watch anything. Not to mention what may be Gotham's first trans-gendered cop! What's not to like?!
