The New Adventures of Batman

The New Adventures of Batman was produced concurrently with Super Friends, which was produced by the competing Hanna-Barbera Productions and included Batman and Robin as members, marking a rare occurrence in animation history which saw two studios simultaneously producing series featuring the same characters. The main distinction was that in Filmation's series, Batman and Robin were voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward, the lead actors of the 1960s Batman live-action series, while on Super Friends they were voiced by Olan Soule and Casey Kasem, who had previously voiced the characters in Filmation's The Batman/Superman Hour.

Plot: In The New Adventures of Batman, the "Dynamic Duo" fights crime in Gotham City, encountering the classic Batman rogues gallery as well as some original villains Complicating matters is Bat-Mite, a well-meaning imp from another dimension called Ergo, who considers himself Batman's biggest fan. As a result, he wears a variant of Batman's costume and attempts to help him, only to often create more problems. Missing is Alfred, the faithful butler of Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne; also notable in this series are the inverted colors of the circled "R" on Robin's costume

Missing villains: The Riddler and The Scarecrow were off-limits to the show, as Hanna-Barbera already had the rights to the characters for Challenge of the Superfriends (though The Riddler does appear in the opening credits of the show in a pink-colored costume, and was mentioned being arrested at the beginning of the episode "The Deep Freeze"). Conversely, The Joker was off-limits to Challenge of the Superfriends and did not appear on the competing show, though he was planned to be a Legion of Doom member
