Characters who are supposed young cops years after Bruce Wayne has become Batman are nonsensically older and seasoned detectives in this. Even half his supervillains are already establishing themselves long before he gets put of school and Catwoman/girl is not only a witness to his parents murder but his personal stalker. Utter written like fan-fiction trying to relate everyone in current comics to each other even when they were kids. The Penguin is not a serial killer idiots, he's a money launder.

I am a comic book nerd. This series defies everything from the comics including introducing the bloody villains when Bruce Wayne is a child. COME ON PEOPLE, DON'T WASE YOUR TIME WITH THIS CRAP. READ THE COMIC BOOKS. I recommend Batman year one, The dark knight returns and Batman arkham asylum. Also, even the animated series is better than this! IF YOU WANT A REAL BATMAN EXPERIENCE,PLAY BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM AND ARKHAM CITY. If you HATE Batman and like it when people ruin comic books, you will love this.

I swear some people expect a working progress to be complete and finished straight away! i think this show is great so far but with a few faults of course like everything now a days, but I'm confident that the producers know where they've gone slightly wrong in some parts and will make every effort to put the problems behind them and push forward with great improvements! my only hope is that in future seasons batman is eventually introduced and a decent joker character to, RIP heath ledger the true joker!
