Two stars for art style that's about it even the voice acting seems a little bit off for Batman.
What in the gender swap DEI did I just watch? And what did they do to the penguin!?
I'm only watching the first episode and I'm about 9 minutes and 34 seconds in and already The nostalgia is gone.
At best they kept Harvey dent the same didn't swap genders and kept his somewhat classic backstory.
"SOMEONE IN THE COMMENT SECTION THAT APPARENTLY NOW HARLEY QUINN IS GAY AND SHE'S ALREADY CRAZY OFF TO GET GO, SO THERE'S REALLY NO BUILD UP TO HER BACKSTORY"
Apparently commissioner Gordon is black and that also means Barbara is a person of color which means now we're doing a full circle back to the failed Live action Batgirl TV show that not many people remember and sure yeah that makes sense. A race swap of Batgirl that's fun 😅 because race swapping hasn't been done before in Batman 🙃
Mind you I'm a poc and I find that a terrible choice. Literally pandering to the lowest common denominator. To appease who?
God forbid that they make Hugo Strange a Mexican woman lol. According to DEI I wouldn't put it past them.
Any particular reason why Alfred depicted as an obease overweight Butler? I mean we really are checking all the boxes here.
I like the art style generally speaking and I like the flat noir look which I don't mind but everything else just screams desperate and pandering.
Before you know it joker's going to make an appearance and "they will be a non-transgender, non-conforming, asexual, demiromantic, zey, zem, her, she, he, him, non-birany cis-human pronound Asian-American, international Spaniard, multiracial African-American, Northern islander citizen of (insert country).
Just to be sure to check all the boxes...(Obviously missed the 10,000+ that exist)😮💨
I don't need to watch all 10 episodes to know that this is full of DEI and they twisted something that didn't need to be twisted. Simple as that. I was better off seeing something completely new rather than a reiteration that shows that no one is able to keep it original to a degree with a little bit of creative liberty with some to few new elements to keep the sanctity of what once was. It is very clear there is no regard for that.
(Once again, everything woke turns to sht.)
All I wanted to do was watch a Batman show that brings my childhood back to the forefront where I can escape for just a little bit and not have to worry about any political woke DEI riddled nonsense but unfortunately that's what I see and that's what I got. Always being forced. It's disappointing.
And remember I'm only 9 minutes and 34 seconds into the first episode!
I'll be sure to make an update if I can stomach the next nine episodes hell let alone Episode 1.
