7/10
Interesting but clumsy
7 June 2023
Episode 11 and 2 left in the first season and it's enjoyable but not sure they can do a second season of it. I get irritated when people complain there isn't one DC universe, "like marvel has". That always irritated me because the Dark Knight trilogy is completely separate from the modern cinematic DC universe, just as much as Adam West and the Tim Burton films were separate. Part 2 was Wonder Woman took place in WWII era, The Batman was modern times and Titans, which got canceled, was after Batman retired. People didn't seem to realize they were happening at different times. There are reports that DC is going for one universe and storyline, there are some reports that is why Titans was canceled, and The Flash is ending which begs the question doesn't this shows storyline conflict with the movies storyline. So I don't want to get too invested in the show, but the writing helps with that. This show has a DA named Harvey Dent and if you know Batman you know that is Two-Face, well the show doesn't outright say it but does drop enough hints for you to figure out the Harvey Dent in the show is apparently Harvey Dent Jr. The writers didn't seem to have the personalities of the main characters or at least the good guys figured out very well. Their personalities especially in regards to how they interact with each other varies from one episode to the next and it's not a progression in one direction but more a swinging back and forth friend - enemy - love interest - I don't like you but need your help and it bounces between those randomly. Two episodes left in the first season and it's possible it's going to be a cliff hanger ending and it's possible they end the story arch and cancel the show or bring it back for a second season having changed most of the basis of the show.
