This is definitely an improvement over the campy 60's style Brave and the Bold. Though I'm not crazy about the choice of villains, the overall tone and writing is sharp! I also love the realistic edge of things like Batman having to pop his dislocated shoulder back in. I do wish they would have gone with the Young Justice style of animation, but I can definitely get past that. Also, this is more or less Year One Batman which I love. He's new and unexperienced and still finding himself. Overall, unless Batman can eventually get an HBO series like Spawn, I feel this is the closest us fans are going to get to the dark, gritty realism of Batman: The Animated Series, outside of the wonderful DC Animated Universe films like Under the Red Hood and Batman: Year One. Make sure to check those out if you're a Bat Fan. Definitely give this a shot though!
