Caped Crusader Thoughts
a year ago
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Okay, weeks after the show ended, I have watched the entire season of Batman: Caped Crusader. After some time mulling over it, I’ve come to a decision… it’s an okay show. Not great, not terrible, but somewhere between good and decent.
While there were good ideas implemented and the style does look good… there are problems that are kinda understandable for some criticizing it. Some changes just felt out of place; Penguin being a woman and having two sons is one such things. Reason for the gender swap was because the showrunners think Batman didn’t have any female baddies. Or rather, any good female baddies by the sound of an interview…
Gordon, despite having a solid VA, is incompetent, not only as a cop but also as someone who should take in consideration that innocent people could be in danger as well. Barbara, I want to say she has potential, her being tough just seems forced, even as an attorney. Another issue is that Harvey Dent in this show is a complete douche bag, then suddenly grows a conscious… right when he becomes Two Face! Not only that, but they got the WRONG side of his face burnt, then he’s killed off! Added the fact he’s voiced by someone who voiced Batman before.
Biggest issue yet: Batman, despite being the title character, is barely in the show. He also has some trouble with villains, despite his skills in combat and detective skills. Plus, as Bruce, he’s a big ass l, especially to Alfred! The man who basically RAISED him! Look, maybe the season has him grow into the hero he’s known for and learns to be more charitable.
Look, the show’s only on its first season and in most cases, that’s only testing the water. I still have faith in Bruce Timm and I hope this show gets better as it does have positive moments and good ideas here and there. But the writers and producers need to put in EFFORT if they want the show to succeed.
This is purely my opinion, I respect if others saw more positivity in the first season.
