^I just happened to get that on dvd a few months ago, back in what would be the last days of Best Buy having physical media.

 

Interesting that things are still coming out on physical media regularly despite all the major stores (Best Buy, Target and Walmart) giving up on it.  It surprises me to see that Target stores still have anything...but the section has been reduced so much it's almost nothing....the one I like going o has 1 very small section of 1 aisle....and of course it's mostly new/recent stuff.

I just watched Batman: Caped Crusader S1 on Amazon.

 

Note: Many supporting characters have had their ethnicity or sex changed in this show.

 

Pros:

 

Good art/animation with moody music.

 

This has one of  the most interesting takes on Harley Quinn in a long time. It's good to see her without Joker and with a different MO.

 

Decent fight scenes.

 

The voice work is generally solid. Linklater as Bats is good,but there are a few line deliveries that come off flat.

 

Cons:

 

The CG backgrounds and vehicles don't match as well with the hand drawn elements.

 

Harvey Dents "fall from grace" could have been built up more. 

 

Jim Gordon doesn't thave much interaction with Bats except for 2 episodes.

 

This is a PG-13 series,but feels oddly tame. I'm not expecting decapitation and BJs ,but there isn't much that feels like it could be on a premium adult oriented streaming service. Just mild cursing and some occasional blood. Except for 1-2 occasional bits, I wasn't getting as much emotional character moments like Batman TAS either.

 

Overall: Solid show that is promising. It is not the next coming of Batman TAS by any stretch,but is an admirable effort. 

 

7.5/10
