The first episode of the series, and I thought it could of been better, however it does show promise and signs of a good Tv show. But in my opinion, I feel like there's been better Batman Shows. With all that said, this was an enjoyable enough show and sets the groundwork for future episodes. So let's review "in treacherous Waters".
Let's start with the animation, which I thought was crisp and smooth, and was very well done. And some of the scenes with the animation looked beutiful, Gotham looked nice. The explosions looked realistic and the animation does a perfect job of that. And so do the humans, the animation fits perfectly into the show.
Next up is the story itself. Which I enjoyed, I thought they did go over board with the explosions but as I said previously they do look wonderfully animated that I never really got bored of seeing one. I enjoyed the performances, Penguin was especially a stand-out and I liked the performance of Batman.
For 25 Minutes, too much does get crammed into one whole story, and the plot moves very quickly, and moves like your on a Plane, yes It really did go that quick! But the action, the set-pieces are also very well done, and it feels like the beggining of Batman, and even though the story is juggling to much, it does have it's entertainment value to it.
For me the story should of been stretched out into maybe a 45 Minute Tv serial, and really develop the Batman and the other characters that have been introduced, despite some of it's short comings, I can't wait to see how they do with the rest of the series.
Would I recommend this Episode?
For it's introduction to Batman, it does a steady job of it, and although I'd of liked to see him being characterised abit more I can't say I didn't enjoy this version, and he was surprisingly very accurate. But the episode does get a lackluster 6 out of 10. Would recommend it slightly.
