The show's alright. It has quite a few good points even. But the biggest problem I have with it is how quickly the supervillians get out again after being locked up. Batman faced the Joker multiple times in the first two seasons, for example, and always caught him at the end of every episode in which he faced him. I know the show is just a cartoon, and meant to be enjoyed by kids, but even kids can spot flaws like this -- why would Joker keep getting sent back to Arkham when it obviously can't hold him? Seriously, there was one episode, in season 2, where Batman put him away, and he's out again to be the villain in the very next episode.
The same applies to the Penguin. He was really overused as as well.
The only other issue I have with the series really, is that Batman has way too much trouble with low-level thugs. Episodes where he fights Joker, or the Ventriloquist, and so on, this is the freaking Batman -- he should be able to deal with their goons with very little problem, but over and over again, you see him having a hard time with them.
