there's fiction and there's being ridiculous

OK, I get it, it's make believe. It's a show, but there's creating a fictional world, and then there's being ridiculous about real situations. Such as Barbara giving birth and moments later walking around in heels and fighting bad guys. She just gave birth, had a natural birth, and is now kicking and fighting bad guys immediately after? She said it was the most painful thing, yet is perfectly fine.

This show started off strong and clever. I feel they've really strayed from the characters, from the story, everything. Bruce Wayne's constant involvement with the GCPD, how he dresses,the gadgets he uses, Lucious and Alfred also working with the GCPD, the citizens seeing all them working together, did they forget that people aren't suppose to know he's Batman? Years later Batman would be in town and no one would make the connection of "hey, Bruce Wayne used some of these gadgets when he was helping the GCPD, was a skilled fighter, fought Penguin, Riddler, Joker, Bane, but who could possibly be Batman?" Same with Selena. She wears claws, uses a whip, is a skilled fighter, but people aren't suppose to know she's Catwoman later on? I feel they've strayed too far from the source material, from who these characters are. They seem to have forgotten many of these identities they're forging, are secret.

Also, while the comedy between Penguin and Riddler is amusing, I feel Penguin was more "evil" in the beginning of the series and he's gotten softer over time, most of the villains have. I mean, they're worried about hurting and killing people, they're worried about what will happen to Gotham if they leave, really? And Bane surrenders... why? Because of bats?

I'm so disappointed that the show is ending with such a poor final season.
