Trivia:

Based on the DC comic book of the same name that debuted in 1955. Each issue of the comic book featured two characters or groups teaming up to fight a stronger villain; unlike the TV series, Batman did not become a permanent fixture of the publication until 1960, and then only until 1983. The initial run of the publication was from 1955 to 1983, but was revived (without Batman as a regular character) from 1991 to 1999, and again from 2007 to the present.

An Entertaining Show

This show is excellent entertainment suitable and aimed for kids. It pairs one of the most popular and greatest superheroes of all-time with some un-recognized (but good) B or even C level Superheroes that never get much attention. While I like Tim Burton's Batman, love Batman: The Animated Series and love Nolan's Batman, This is not dark, gritty, and doesn't have an amazing awe-inspiring story, but it's it not trying to. This is not the tragic, mob-boss/realistic villain fighting, detective Batman. This is a lighter but not ridiculous (Batman & Robin), superhero Batman. The animation is different than other prior DC Comics cartoon, but it's good, smooth animation.

So, If you want something dark, gritty, and thought provoking like The Dark Knight or Batman The Animated Series? Go watch TDK or TAS. This is entertainment, and some good entertainment at that. I would rather have good, pure entertainment than a failed attempt at another dark Batman.

Fanboys need get over it and stop being whiny baby-men. Remember, there's always that off button on the remote.

That's all I've got to say about that.
