That's the first episode of the show i watched completely, every other time something happened that made me stop watching. I liked it

Wow Beware 5 was bad.

I dunno what was more dumb in this episode 'Humphrey Dumpler', the laser guns suddenly appearing after bullets were used in all the other episodes, or Gordon taking unknown cell calls next to a bomb he has yet to know what is detonated by.

Why are any of these things a problem, you may ask? Well we're supposed to think Batman is this real weirdo, in his costume fighting criminals and we're supposed to think it's so crazy that these statues are turning up but apparently a normal day in Gotham is for it never be daytime, for the streets to be permanently devoid of life, for people to wander around with laser guns and for people to be born there looking like fairytale characters, honestly Batman may well be the most normal thing in this show.

The other problem is the tone of the show is all over the map, guns are a no no apparently but you can rip someone's soul out on screen, commit suicide, strap people to bombs, have Batman reading about murdered women. Etc etc

The action scenes are certainly getting better, but the gangly limbs still make everything look worryingly clunky, and I dunno, the aim for the head and hope no one is inside didn't feel very Batman like - nor did using the guns.

Still not sure how I feel about RWBY. If anything I wish the episodes were longer to be able to form more of an opinion on the characters before it suddenly cutting out. I guess what I dislike the most is how terribly cliché it is that Ruby and Weiss don't get along for now.

Jaune's future team is what's interesting me the most right now.

I do love all of the weapons they came up with though.

Yeah... Yeah that's what I was thinking. Just couldn't think of a better way to put it.

You know, I want to see a cartoon based on Batman, Incorporated. Every episode could focus on one Batman/Batgirl/Batwoman/Batboy operating in their assigned country, with a crossover happening during a worldwide crisis. I want this mainly because of Nightrunner.

That sounds good, they could make it a web-series or something like that.

ONLY if Stephanie Brown gets a supporting role. That girl deserves more respect.
