2/10
Did the other reviewers here see a different series than me?

Where do I begin? *Spoilers!* (Barely)

*Gotham is comprised almost entirely of either scrub brush or empty warehouses.

*Batman keeps his costume balled up in a generic metal filing cabinet. The costume itself is of very poor construction and clearly impairs his ability to see. He drives a standard sedan which is indistinguishable from other cars on the road. His abilities as a detective are several steps below a knock-off Hardy boy. As Bruce Wayne, he makes very little effort to conceal his hidden identity.

*Robin barely enunciates his dialog and seems completely bored or half awake throughout the entire run.

*The villain is comically inept and his goons are even worse. His machinations are confused and almost all of his screen time consists of him standing in front of a large piece of machinery twiddling knobs.

*Every single fight scene is a farce that looks as though the actors are improvising it as they go.

*The story barely progresses over the course of 15 episodes and repeats plot points liberally.

*Batman eventually triumphs only because the 'villains' he fights against are even more incompetent than he.

This is easily the cheapest, laziest and least imaginative vision of Batman I have seen and I'm well acquainted with his exploits. Enjoyable only in a derisive, ironic way.
