Top 10 Animated TV Shows of the 1990s with the Best Intros

This has to be one of the most difficult to put together as the 1990 decade had so many great intros and theme songs that it would be almost impossible to just put 10 and I know there are going to be some complaints about certain cartoon intros not being on the list but you already know what to do.
The Top Ten
1 X-Men the Animated Series

This intro is just epic as the intro opens up as they introcude each of the X-Men heroes while showing off their powers all while a guitar plays in the background it all culminates in the heroes and villains as they clash before the huge X-Men logo appears, if this intro doesn't get you pumped nothing will.

2 Batman the Animated Series

This into is just so epic and totally makes you feel pumped to watch the show it begins with the WB log turning into a blimp with the light on as a couple of burglars blow up a bank and the music intensifies as we cut to the batmobile as Batman makes his way to aprehend the criminals as they escape onto the roof as they are stopped by the bat as he glares back at them as they attempt to take out batman but are easily taken down and left for the police as the camera then shows Batman on top of the room as lighting strikes.

This intro set the atmosphere for the show
