Just finished it.
Lots of deviations from the source material, but I think overall enjoyed it. Maybe it’s just because it’s new content that I’m liking it, but I think it largely stuck the landing even if when it strayed from Loeb’s original story. It was a Batman mystery with plenty of characters and connections to Batman’s lore.
As far as adaptations go, I wouldn’t have minded a 2 hour live-action version of this script. Penguin felt very tacked on, which is probably why they just had Dastmalchian voice him too, so I would have probably cut him & given the extra lines to Hatter or Scarecrow.
Rest In Peace Naya Rivera. I thought Catwoman was great in this and I’d be fairly shocked if we don’t see more of her in this new DCAU given the way the story unfolds, so we’ll who they call up. Has Rosario Dawson done Catwoman yet? While we’re at it, let’s recast Gordon. The rest of the cast was fine, and I’m excited to hear Ackles in more Batman appearances (hopefully).
So thus far we have Superman (Criss), Batman (Ackles), Wonder Woman (Katic), and Flash (Bomer). Wondering who else we’ll get for the team—which Green Lantern will pop up?
