Filmations 1979 Flash Gordon Animated Series. This well-crafted cartoon series from 1970s animation powerhouse Filmation was a reworking of the original Flash Gordon serial. Art design reflected the earlier era with a combination of Art Deco, Gothic Revival, Victorian an other styles. The series was a homage to the original Flash Gordon comic strip and featured most of the original characters.

The New Adventures of Batman is an animated series produced by Filmation in 1977 featuring the DC Comics superheroes Batman and Robin, and Batgirl. 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 (although he is occasionally an asset). Missing is Alfred, the faithful butler of Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne; also notable in this series are the inverted colors of the "R" on Robin's costume.

The Adventures of Batman was an animated series produced by Lou Schiemer's Filmation studios in 1967-68. Over the top characters and catchy dramatic music cues gave this version of Batman a realistic -by cartoon standards of the day, anyway- look and feel. The colors were vibrant and exciting even if the animation was a little stiff and repetitive in places. Olan Soule was the voice of Batman and is most likely best remembered for his work on that show, and many others in the Filmation stable. Casey Kasem, the popular radio countdown man in the eighties, was the voice of Robin the Boy Wonder. The shows were 12 minutes in length, sometimes broken up by and surrounding another cartoon from Filmation's fast growing stream of superhero stars.
