Hey gang. This announcement has been months in the making....we've had to keep it under our hats, but now finally Jeff is letting the cat out of the bag..he is no longer associated with 'The Batman'. Jeff has posted on his blog today to let you all know from him personally. Here is what he says. This has been hard to keep from you guys and I'm sorry that I had to. Jeff has left and pretty much most of the people that made season 4 happen along with him. In season 4 we finally got to see the kind of show that Jeff told me he wanted all along...and man its been great! What a year. I only wish the first three seasons could have worked out that way as well. We will continue to cover the show into season 5, but honestly without Jeff and the people he brought into season 4 I'm personally very leary! Thoughts?

[shadow=green,left,300] Wow that is some news, Jeff has done a fantastic job on 'The Batman' and I love him for giving us such an awesome Riddler! Although this is sad, I want to say thank you Jeff for giving us the time of our lives! You have done an incredible job and 'The Batman' wouldn't be as great as it is without you. [/shadow]

Wow.... What the heck is going on here... I was afraid something like this would happen. AWw man... I'm very sad. The Batman will not be like what it was without Jeff. I mean c'mon jeff is the guy who brought THE BATMAN to life. Why no longer be a part of it Jeff? *Sigh* I was really hoping to meet Jeff at this year's San Diego Comic-Con too. But yeah, thank you Jeff for bring Batman back into our lives with your style and flair. Best of luck for you buddy!
Hopefully this doesn't mean the end for The Batman after Season 5. Reminds of me Teen Titans going on till its 5th season which they pulled out all the stops to make it an awesome one before it was closed up.

NOOOOO! Without him or anyone else from season 4, I fear season five may very well be the end of The Batman. Jeff, thank you for giving us a great show. You've given one of the Batman shows since the original animated series. You will be missed. Perhaps now, you could take a look at our (The Dark Knight and I) scripts for a Spider-Man show?

That's sad. I hope THE BATMAN will be able to pull it's own weight without Jeff.

This is definately not something I was expecting.....Jeff Matsuda made all of this possible at first, its such a drag that he has left something he has worked 4 hard seasons to make into a huge success. It will be hard to leave behind and miss out for some making new designs and continuing on the Matsudaverse. It's hard to say good-bye but I guess we should be happy for all the success this final season has brought. KUDOS JEFF! Good luck with any other projects that come about!!

Wow, what sad news. Season 4 was great, and its sad that he wont be here for season 5. But Jeff has laid down foundations for this show that will hopefully make season 5 in the same vain as 4. Either way, i have faith in Burnnet and the new crew. After all Batman is Batman, and with all those JL members, how could it not be super!

hm. Ive actually been able to watch a couple of the new episodes and I must say they were quit good. Unfortunately I havent seen much from season 3, so my knowledge of this series is kinda limited, Im stuck into waiting for the DVD season releases to catch up. Is there a particular reason he is leaving the show?

Oooowwwww.
All of you made me watch The Batman!! I must admit that I only watched 2 episodes before, until season 4 came. And I love all the episodes of this season! I hope that the ones that are making season 5 will do it almost as good as this one.
You did it great! I wish you the best. And thanks for bringing The Batman back into my life!!
Thanks!

I just got into the show The Batman, and really started to enjoy it, making me revisit the earlier seasons and checking them out. Although I'm iffy on some of the stories, overall, it's been really good, and Jeff did a great job. I also look forward to see what comes next

Mr. M, you've inspired me so much with the new Batman show, it's really given me a reason to love Batman again ever since they stopped producing BTAS shows when I was a little kid. Thanks for everything you've done, you've given me new interests and I have started reading the comics again thanks to this show.
Thanks for all you've done, and all you're going to do.
