Before working on the legendary Batman: The Animated Series, Alan Burnett could have started a Batman animated series in the 1980s! Join us, along with Instagram’s @bobby_80s (https://www.instagram.com/bobby_80s/), in an exclusive dive into the show we never got- The Secret Files of The Batman! Learn what made it into Batman: The Animated Series and how the pilot ended up becoming the Super Powers Team episode “The Fear,” as part of our 30th anniversary special for B:TAS!
