For anyone who wasn't aware, the 1990s show Gargoyles is basically a TNG reunion.

I have no idea who decided a 90s kid show should have writing that good but they made the right call. Xanatos is one of the best written villains ever.
The animated Batman series was also ridiculously good.
The episode "Heart of Ice" won an Emmy for writing. That good.
What I love the most about that episode is that Mr. Freeze was a total joke villain before B:TAS. They took a guy whose entire existence was just dumb ice puns in non-serious stories and they did... that.
As a child, going from the 60s Batman series to that was almost whiplash inducing. I did not expect animated Batman to give me the feels. I did not expect animated Batman to honestly scare the crap out of me.
Batman brave and the bold is fantastic. My kid grew up watching that show
There's a reason the Xanatos Gambit (CW: TVTropes) is named after him.
