watching the first season


And I got to say - I feel like the adventures of young bruce wayne is a bit overdone and unnecessary. And they bring young cat into it - and bruce's friend harvey is already of age?

I mean - they could have stayed true to the canon and still have a good series but nah -
Not cool.

It strays from the canon so far its best to view it as an elseworlds concept, it’s enjoyable with some good performances but the writing seriously lets it down.

Yeah - to be honest, I don't really care about the canon. But the Bruce bits all seem like filler material - it made sense for him to be in the first episodes, and maybe show up in a few episodes per year, but in every episode? Are they targeting 10 year old demographic here?

I've also already spotted a few places where the dialogue sounded off, so I can certainly see how the writing can get even worse later on.

There are some really high quality actors on this show, but they can carry a badly written script only so far.

Just keep watching -- it's a great show with great acting. Just don't expect it to make sense or follow what's gone before.
