* AngstAversion: Taking into consideration all the various installments of ''The Batman Adventures'' over the decades, it can be hard to stay invested in the series as a whole because many show characters whom fans sympathize with tend to get one HappyEndingOverride after another in the comics. The sympathetic Tygrus, whom fans liked, and Romulus, who didn't have the best character but still [[BrokenAce clearly hated being a werewolf and made to follow Dr. Milo]], both seemingly got killed in an explosion. Grace's relationship with Harvey got destroyed beyond repair, with Grace deciding that she and Harvey were through. And while ''Batman Adventures'' finally gave Mr. Freeze and Nora a HopeSpot that they can be together once more, ''The Adventures Continue'' completely bulldozed that by having Nora die. And special mention should be given to Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat who seemingly got killed in the comics but was revealed to be alive later with the caveat that he'll stay as a mutated bat and never see Francine again, got his happy ending back in ''TNBA'', and then gets ''another'' DownerEnding in ''The Adventures Continue'' when he goes back to being Man-Bat and Francine says she never wants anything to do with him again. If we're to consider ''The Batman Adventures'' all the way to ''The Adventures Continue'' to be one long and continuous(but occasionally broken up into different installments) run, then we're looking at ''thirty publication years'' of Man-Bat in the ''DCAU'' comics getting his life repeatedly broken down. While nobody would likely care about a guy like Jazzman getting a horrible ending in the comics, the fact that various sympathetic characters from the show keep getting put through the wringer can make one mentally check out and stop caring because bad things keep happening to the more sympathetic show characters.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Even if the comics are considered to be good, fans of ''Batman the Animated Series'' might not acknowledge everything from these comics, such as Tygrus and Man-Bat getting an adaptational DownerEnding. And in some cases, it's pretty much impossible for fans to accept certain stories because they're explicitly filled with ContinuitySnarl moments, such as ''The Adventures Continue'' completely mangling Huntress/Helena's backstory established in ''JLU'' to the point where you simply ''can't'' accept it as canon regardless of whether or not you enjoyed the story itself. This likely falls into CanonDiscontinuity as well, as Creator/BruceTimm has stated in an interview in Back Issue! issue #99 that he doesn't consider any of the DCAU comics to be "true canon".

* BrokenBase: The decision to add Jason Todd/Red Hood in ''The Adventures Continue''. Some fans love that the second Robin finally gets to be present in some form of the DCAU after being previously AdaptedOut of the shows, while others find his inclusion to be forced and pointless, arguing that his mere existence causes a massive ContinuitySnarl — since he was never acknowledged in any of the shows — and that Tim Drake already [[CompositeCharacter fulfilled his role]] in the DCAU.

* AesopAmnesia: ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker Return of the Joker]]'' becomes this with the addition of Jason Todd in ''The Adventures Continue''. Jason operates on his own and is captured by Joker and Harley before being tortured by the pair of them and seemingly killed. Despite that, Bruce allows Tim to operate solo as well years later, leading to Tim being subjected to nearly the same outcome.
