I watched the first three episodes. I liked the first two a lot, but it goes downhill with Episode 3.
I also feel there was no need to gender swap the Penguin. Oswalda is actually a really cool villain. Why not make her a new character?
What they did is wipe away over 80 years of history simply for the sake of going woke. Makes no sense. They wiped out 80 years worth of comics, 80 years worth of work from legendary creators, and it’s an FU to the fans that have supported DC throughout the years.
Same with Barbara Gordon, who comes off as a man-hater. Or how about Bruce Wayne is forced to undergo therapy for punching some dude in the face while Selina Kyle goes free when everybody knows she’s a thief. I was left scratching my head. Welcome to clown world. Joker would be proud.
Do I bother with the remaining episodes?
