Almost all characters of the series have undergone changes in appearance, due to the streamlining of the DCAU (sometimes referred to as the "New Look" or “ Revamp”).
Dick Grayson is now Nightwing, following a falling out with his mentor, only occasionally aiding the Dark Knight.
Batgirl is now a full-time member of the team (and voiced by Tara Strong instead of Melissa Gilbert).
Tim Drake has assumed the mantle of Robin.

2 Notable Differences From Batman: The Animated Series.
Naturally, death of any kind in a kids' show was always going to be an issue for the censors, but Timm's team, as ever, had a trick up their sleeve. That practice of skirting the guidelines in novel ways continued with "The New Batman Adventures," perhaps most notably with episode 11, "Over the Edge," in which Batgirl seemingly dies and Commissioner Gordon blames Batman. Timm and his team famously had numerous run-ins with the Standards and Practices department, developing neat tricks to get around censor notes such as deploying "decoys" - obvious breaches of the rules designed to distract censors from what they actually wanted to include in the episode. This show did away with elements of its predecessor's darker, noirish aesthetic and simplified Batman, Joker, and other characters' looks.īut while much changed between Timm's original series and its follow-up, much of the behind-the-scenes processes stayed the same, including navigating the censors. Joined by Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl, Batman would become a more stern figure in this follow-up series, which aired alongside Timm's "Superman: The Animated Series" and helped expand the DC Animated Universe.
