What should I expect?

Austin Davis
Kino.
Chase Davis
for it to be removed from the service sooner than later because the new CEO of WB hates animation
Jayden Brown
An inferior, watered down for the masses of children and lowest common denominator version of the source material, like every comic book adaptation so far. Only thing that's different about this one is anons were kids when it was out, so they think that means they shouldn't read the comics and have already decided this version is "definitive".

The best soundtrack

Suffer through the first few dozen or so episodes where the writing is uneven because a lot of the scripts were spec-scripts by cartoon writers who didn't get what Bruce Timm, Eric Radomski and Alan Burnett were trying to do until Paul Dini started writing episodes. Once the show hit it's stride it hit it's STRIDE.

For some reason on HBO Max The New Batman Adventures is included in Batman: The Animated Series as well as another season.
Jack Long
lmao he didn't remove anything this CLASSIC
Noah Sanchez
Shirley Walker's score is the best, she improved on Elfmans.

^Here's a brief explanation going over the main theme. Would've been cool to get this for the scores to some of the villain motifs. and now we never will...
Cooper Lopez
Based. Dini is peak and he carried the show
Nicholas Russell
And here's an analysis of the Two-Face theme.

I wonder if we'll ever get a closer live-action version of Harvey, where he's got the whole Smeagol/Gollum thing going on. Instead of just burned face man out for revenge, full on switching personalities and holding conversations with himself. Y'know, like a crazy person, someone who would actually get locked up in an asylum.

The air dates are completely skewered from the canonical timeline of the show.
Luke Lewis
Does HBO MAX follow air date order or production order? I have the bluray set which is production order.
Christian Sullivan
hit and miss, but the good ones are really good
Camden Thompson
So The Cat and the Claw part 1 is the first episode to air and it is the first on HBO Max, after that they have part 2, which air much later than other episodes. Maybe they want to keep those episodes together? Whole thing is kinda funky.
Dylan Murphy
Yeah that's airdate order, lame, which is all over the place and not chronological. Fox wanted 'Cat and The Claw' to air first in primetime because of Catwoman being the highlight of Batman Returns which had just come out and they wanted to capitalize on that. Production order means 'On Leather Wings' should be the first episode.

Skip The Underdwellers, I've Got Batman in My Basement and The Forgotten, watch everything else.
Charles Walker
here's the kicker, on xifinity they do have the episodes in chronological order.
Dylan Long
Wtf weird
