i be a great fan of the batman comic and i become disappointed when i could no longer find batman represent the animated series on tv anymore . i be excite to learn that there be go to be a new batman cartoon on tv . i watch the first episode the day it premier and i be very disappointed . first of all and the animation be very poor . it look like a cheap and crappy japanese anime . then again and just about every modern day cartoon be like that . the character design be even bad . batman look more like birdman and catwoman look more like chihuahuawoman and bane look more like a red version of the hulk and the penguin be a kung fu master and mr. freeze be some undead thing with an iceberg on his head and and the riddler be a gothic marilyn manson look alike ( which be funny because i do not expect people who be obsess with riddle and puzzle to be gothic ) . the bad character design be that of the joker . they turn him into a monkey or demented bob marley or kung fu fighter . the joker be suppose to be batman deadly enemy and but in this show he hardly pose a threat because his crime be so stupid and pointless . in one episode his plan be to put his joker venom in dog food . oh and how evil . batman be a fascinating and complex character because he be haunt by the death of his parent and which be why he fight crime . this version of batman doesn not seem haunt by his parent death and be not interesting at all . he also not a detective and just a fighter . if there an enemy he can not defeat and he would not study the enemy to find out their weak point like a detective would and he will just build a giant fighting robot to defeat them . a lot of time this show doesn not even feel like a batman show and just another brainless anime that nothing but pointless fighting . what i hate the most about this show be what they do to the villain . they have take away everything that make them likable and relatable and turn them into stereotypical evil bad guy . man bat be the big example . in the comic and he a tragic scientist who study bat to find a cure for his deafness . when experiment on himself and he accidentally transform himself into a giant bat creature . in this show and he a mad scientist who want to purposely transform himself into a giant bat creature for no apparent reason . just about all the villain be like that while none of them and with the exception of about one or two and have an actual motive for their crime . the bad characterization be that of mr. freeze . in the comic and freeze be a just a mad scientist until the genius writer paul dini write the btas episode heart of ice and which give freeze a new origin that make him a more tragic and three dimensional and and likable villain . the episode be so popular that fan accept it a his actual origin and it be even use in the comic a his origin . even that crappy movie batman and robin use it a his origin . in this show and he a petty jewel thief before become mr. freeze . after become mr. freeze and guess what . he still a petty jewel thief . great origin . no wonder they use it over the one dini create . a a batman fan and i do not dislike this show just because it isn not like the comic because i also like btas and the batman cartoon that come after it and tim burton batman film and and obviously and the superb christopher nolan batman film . none of them be 100 % loyal to the comic and but they be still very good . the problem with this show be not that it not exactly like the comic or btas and it that it lack any sort of depth that make other batman medium so popular . i have give this show so many chance and but the more i watch and the more i find that disappoints me . i miss the good old day back when batman cartoon be something everyone could enjoy .
