Should I watch Batman: The Animated Series before Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman?

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman utilizes a stylized animation aesthetic distinct from the live-action 1989 Batman movie.

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman and the 1966 Batman television series both focus on the Dark Knight stopping dangerous criminal plots in Gotham City. However, the 2003 film focuses on a gritty investigation into a new vigilante, departing from the campy tone found in the 1966 television episodes.
