The characters are all great, Ethan is great fun, this version of Alfred is just awesome, I actually think this is one of my favourite Jokers, mixing his trademark insanity with a formidable fighter. Ironically the one character I don't really care for is Bruce, I think they did the whole rookie young Batman thing way better in Beyond. The Batman Bruce is no Terry, that is for sure.

Honestly, I think Beware does a much better job of capturing a younger Bruce Wayne more so then The Batman could ever hope to accomplish.

The Batman is a series that felt pretty disjointed, it felt like it could never decide if it wanted to be The Animated Series, it's own unique light hearted take on the Dark Knight a thirty minute toy commercial, or Justice League.

That said…I despite my gripes…I do like Batman's design in the show, I like the longer ears how his cape wraps around his entire body that makes for some pretty cool imagery. Batman VS Dracula also was a pretty enjoyable movie.
