Trivia:

DVD audio commentary for the first episode, Rebirth (Part 1), reveals that one of the original intentions of the TV show was to shift crime from the streets of Gotham to the boardroom, with the villains being wealthy and powerful members of Gotham society. Though crime would be just as prevalent as it had been in the time of the original Batman, the streets themselves would actually be safer. The Jokerz street gang, introduced in the first episode, would be one of the few remaining members of "low class" crime. This idea was never brought to full fruition, but the primary villain of Season One, Derek Powers, was a representative of this wealthy class of criminals.

Not as good as the Original but way better than the second show

This show is awesome! It's not as good as the original though but it is much more entertaining than the second show. I really liked this show even though it doesn't have to do with any of the Batman story lines. It kind of runs into the same category as "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller which has to do with what might happen in the future of Batman.
