Enjoyed most of this because, hey, it's more Batman & I'm a Bat-fan, but I didn't love it. The voice work & animation is generally great, but there's something about the whole thing that just feels a bit...
off.
Not a fan of the short, dumpy character designs for a number of the cast (Harley & Montoya were particularly bad), & the Penguin thing is bizarre & only seems to have been done to cause controversy. Driver was fine & I got used to the different take by the end of the episode, but as others have said, it's not like Batman's Rogues Gallery doesn't have plenty of other female villains they could use.
But the main thing for me was the lack of 'oomph' (for want of a better word) to the music. It was a nice score, but it didn't seem to fit the show half the time, especially the credits. I get they're trying to go for the 'noir' angle, but the opening & end credits should have been much more bombastic IMHO, & the scenes leading into them should have grabbed you or made you feel
something. As it was, each pre-credits or final scene just sort of limped into the credits & it all felt very lacklustre & anticlimactic.
The Clayface episode was the highlight for me, with the Two-Face double a close second.
That carnival episode got
very dark.
