There are a total of 109 episodes, along with multiple crossover episodes of Static Shock and Superman: The Animated Series.

The show was the beginning of what has become known as the DC Animated Universe, which consists of a series of six television shows and five films (one theatrical), largely surrounding DC Comics characters and their respective mythos. including Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, The Zeta Project, Static Shock, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, the series in which this animated version of Batman met his final fate.

[edit] The "Lost" episode

Sixteen minutes of animated segments in the video game 'The Adventures of Batman and Robin' for the Sega CD are sometimes referred to as a "lost episode" of the series.[1] These segments are intended to be interspersed between gameplay elements of an early-1990s video game and as such, the sound, color and story are not of the same quality of the actual television program. However the color problem with these segments is more likely the fault of the limited color palette of the Sega CD itself. Three similar cutscenes appear throughout the video games Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu and Batman Vengeance.

[edit] The New Batman Adventures Season One

(September 1997-August 1998)

Three years after the second season of Batman: The Animated Series was produced, the show was moved from the Fox Network to The WB Network, which was airing and producing Superman: The Animated Series, as part of an hour segment they called The New Batman/Superman Adventures. The WB Network wanted more episodes of the series, but with a different format and more focus on Batman's sidekicks, so two new seasons were ordered.

In addition to the networks demands, the producers decided to make the show match Superman: The Animated Series' graphic style, so all the characters and objects were redesigned as "animation friendly" with fewer lines. The show was renamed The New Batman Adventures.
