When I was a kid, around 9 or 10, my cousin was in town visiting on leave from his military job and I idolized him. I don't remember how the conversation came up, but he asked me what my favorite Batman stuff was, and I said TAS. He asked why, and I couldn't really answer, except that it was, to me, the core heart and soul of Batman. As an adult I've only realized more and more how true that was.
I'm always a little disappointed when I hear a Batman that isn't at least trying to sound like Kevin Conroy or a Joker that isn't Mark Hamill. And I have absolutely no idea who the VA for Superman was during the equivalent series run.

Forget Luke Skywalker, The Joker was Mark Hamill's greatest role.

The world might not know that, but I think Mark Hamill himself does.

I don't blame anyone for wanting more Mark Hamills Joker, but I do think people need to appreciate the bar he rasied for future actors to live up to in an animated setting.
Like John Dimaggio, and Kevin Michael Richardson after him, Mark Hamill made the character his own, he would practice in the car his different laughs and mannerisms, he said it must've been funny seeing a man maniacally laughing in the mirror at himself at red lights.

Batman is first and foremost a detective, without the camp of the 1960s or the angst and edge of the modern era and even the later cartoons.
You could go at lengths about the art direction of the show, but for me, the soul is always in the writing. Batman is just trying to fix Gotham the only way he knows how.
Almost all of the villains were fleshed out and well acted, turning even jokes like Mr. Freeze into some of the greatest comic book characters.
