[The Dark Knight]

Just watched the first episode.

With so many Batman products out there, they've gone for something completely different. Good on them in that regard.
As for the episode, it was alright. It didn't set my world on fire. Atmosphere is lacking at the moment.

Alfred is something different. It's not my ideal interpretation.

I'll keeping watching.

one of the interview thingies i read before said they were going for sean connery's character in the untouchables. i think they hit it lol

i have never heard of katana either. i feel completely lost with everyone but bruce, alfred, and the commish even though the commish isn't the commish yet.

I also wasn't particularly impressed with the first episode. I'll give it a chance but I suspect it will be another "The Batman."

I don't want to pre-emp anything just yet, but I think The Batman will be better.

i only lasted one episode with the batman lol.

I need to see more Bruce interacting with Alfred and other people. The action scenes and such are feeling flat to me. I'd like some meat on this things bones.

Mr. Toad's back story has never been revealed. He first appeared in Batman and Robin Vol 1 #1 (August 2009) and was murdered by the domino killer in the very next issue (September 2009). He was only a minor villain of no real significance. It's unclear whether he was actually a toad or just a very strange looking human.

As for Professor Pyg, his real name is Lazlo Valentin and he's a psychotic human who likes to wear a pig mask. His back story is also murky. In the comics he and Toad were both members of a criminal organisation known as the Circus of Strange. Both characters made cameos in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode 'The Knights of Tomorrow!' (season 2, episode 23).

So far, I think Alfred and Tatsu/Katana are the best parts of the show and I'll stick around for them.

The Batman-Gordon stuff wasn't bad, but it was pretty standard.  We've seen this kind of "anti-vigilante cop becomes his ally" thing before.  Hopefully they have something new in store.

Magpie was alright, with the only remnants of the original character being "Shiny, shiny." 

Otherwise, apart from the multiple personalities and inability to feel pain (neither of which are aspects of Magpie in the comics either), she was pretty much Catwoman-in-a-more-revealing-costume, with Selina's fighting skills and claws, as well as the character being flirty with Batman, leading into the rooftop chase. 

Last week's reimagining of Professor Pyg and Toad was a little better, but I can still picture Poison Ivy being used in their stead, since she's got the ecoterrorist M.O.  That said, I wonder if they're going to connect Pyg & Toad to Ra's Al Ghul, who's been confirmed to be making an appearance on the show.
