[@michasalamon8315]

@@SolidariusLive fun fact. In original Batman animated series Bullock was supposed to be crooked cop but after sending Gordon to hospital the writers decided to change that, said he felt bad and became Gordon’s friend and a foil to Batman. Both Harvey and Batman break the rules of the game, but in different ways. While Batman is a vigilantee outside jurisdiction, Bullock was too harsh and often played a bad/mean cop. The main reason why Bullock didn’t like Batman in the animated series was supposed to be that he was jealous of how much freedom of action Batman has while Gordon keeps him on a leash, although Gordon was still allowing Harvey much more leeway than anyone else Becuase he knew that while Harvey may be as likable as oil stain on a new rug, he gets result and would never turn dirty. Examples of Harvey bending/breaking rules to do his job included breaking into buildings, looking into reporter files, outright stealing stuff. Bullock was only dirty if you talk about his hygiene, even Alfred said he is „a detective that looks like unmade bed” But if A Bullet for Bullock proved to us anything, it is that Harvey is a terrible guy with a good heart.

And if Harvey Bullock is a dirty cop then he is not Harvey Bullock but some random corrupt cop Look up a Bullet for Bullock episode and og comics with him.

Oswald: inhumane look, but somehow still keeps his humanity, showing consideration for his mascots and (sometimes) his henchmen.

This show has its own style and is doing its own thing and I can respect that. I like it for what it is. We've seen Batman the Brave and the Bold and that didn't have outstanding animation either but it did some very unique things with Batman. Great animation costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time.

Also because nobody wants the same exact Batman cartoons over and over.

[@aleysibbs2461]

I'm fine with these, I know it was going to be different when they changed whole lot of characters, however the show still make them fit.

[@keithharrissuwignjo2460]

​@@captain_malaysia6855So doesn't that mean that Batman would use guns and kill only when needed to?

[@KingOfInsomnia]

Imagine bringing up Rosie O'Donnell in 2024 laymens out the gate

[@avlis101]

Discount Penguin, no fight skills outsmarts Batman, held her own against the Batman, and got what she wanted... Idiot Batman.

[@caustin850]

3:33 Looks like The Penguin is now a caged bird for Arkham Asylum (or Blackgate).

[@Darkseidsolosfiction]

Lmao lady penguin 😂😂😂

[@lonknight3197]

To the people hatung on Fat Alfred when Alfred was first introduced in the 1940s he was a Fat private detecive and i dont think he was British, and he actually discovered that Bruce Wayne was Batman so Wayne hired him to keep the secret., a female version of Penguin was ok not that big a change for that character, Now the one change they goofed on was making Gordon a black man , in all honesty i dont think the 1940 society would except a high ranking black officer, remember what a hard time the,,blacks had in WW2 think it was Muskagee Airman or something like that. ,, Bullock always been a crook look at M.Keatons Batman Now for Batmans 1940 fighting style at that time he would not been able to travel to other countries to train in multiple martial arts so like the Batman of Earth 2 he could only train in Boxing , wrestling, Zorro style fencing, and possibly French Savate. He learned stealth from studing the methods used by burglars, and theatherical makeup techniques from University drama school. His Batmobile needs to be alittle less high tech and not sure he would have thought to make a submarine., also if your only going to fight crime in Gotham city dont see the need for a Batplane .

Ridiculous

[@GoldenMarcus]

This is a great reboot to the DCAU

[@toniosoflyy]

It really looks like the 90s show

[@OffensiveNetworking]

They made The Penguin a woman in this show? Very interesting choice But I am ABOUT it I think this is the most ruthless penguin I have ever seen from any of the DC universe!

[@MM-jc7uv]

I haven’t seen the show and don’t know if it’s any good but why would they make Penguin a woman? It makes the character much less believable and just seems jarring, also she has no accent either…

[@CyberController-]

Believe me, this Penguin is Devito levels of evil. Reminded me a lot of his Penguin, actually.

[@JohnnyT002]

I just started and said to myself, "I would watch one episode a week" but, I just watched the whole first season.

[@mauritiusblackwell3990]

I don't see why Barbara had to be as old as Batman, or her and Gordon to be dark-skinned. Gingers deserve to exist too.

[@vreikezen8268]

I actually like that barbara is as old as batman, since a lot of adaptations have middle aged batman get with early-20s barbara.

[@jesser5138]

Better to have her like that than having her date him as a minor.

[@jesser5138]

Also yeah, gingers strangely get raceswapped a lot

[@JustSayin2216]

I didn't hear any complaints when the Lego Batman movie did this in 2017. Why now? Likely because this turned into a talking point getting parrots by right wing politicians.

These artists never visited Louisiana. The under water coffins would be floating to the surface..

[@ShadowGaming42069]

Batman’s gloves are a bit too short honestly.

[@rottensquid]

It's based on the original look for Batman in the earliest comics, back in 1939. I kinda dig it.

[@ShadowGaming42069]

@@rottensquid Oh, thanks!

[@darkkomet1653]

He had purple gloves though

[@gamiginOwO]

Funny how penguins are known for their great parenting yet she just....murdered her own son, without even giving a single fuck

[@optimascrime5235]

Everything else about the show I like, just the female Penguin wasn't executed the best....It's not just the fact that it's a gender swap, she's almost taller then Batman and doesn't talk and act like the Penguin character.....I hope that changes as the series continues or they make a brother Penguin character who's voiced by Tom Kenny ❤

[@User26352]

I want the Riddler to appear, he doesn't give enough representation in newer tv shows.

[@robonthecob6920]

Okay but… why… did they gender swap Penguin? Like I’m not against the concept of it, but is there literally a single creative reason for doing it?

[@thebulldozer9198]

Nope. Just a diversity box.

[@Maclues]

No cause if they were going to be creative about it Penguin would have been an original character that hands the empire to her son, Oswald, after she gets too old, convicted, or killed.

[@UncleTermite]

Lack of creativity so they filled it in with easy gender swapping and race changing I shut it off in 5 minutes I’m not going to watch this crap it’s for dumbed down easy to please fans at least make a darker cartoon fir adults this is just rehashed stuff from the 90”s . Lol

[@genocide6154]

Fan art?

[@Paleo-y1y]

I don’t care about the Penguin being a girl, but the characterization didn’t make sense. Ruthless seemed to be the only trait they gave her.

[@RefugioVillegasIII]

I don't know how to feel about this new show but the voice for Batman is fairly ok with me. I'll need some more time to watch and process to see if it lives up to Kevin Conroy's legacy.

[@rottensquid]

It's definitely not Kevin. But then, Kevin wasn't Kevin straight out of the gate. It's interesting to see how forced he sounded in the earliest episodes. At least, compared to how utterly natural and effortless his delivery became. We'll see how this guy works out.

Not like I'm the og comics he was like that from what I heard

I mean.... you have Minnie Driver doing the voice? Why not let her use her natural accent?
