Legion and The Batman

[roxy]

Okay, I confess I actually really liked the new version of Superman on the Legion of Superheroes. It's a very interesting take on the character--he feels like my kind of Superman. :). Poor little Brainiac...so in love and so heart-broken. *sigh*

The Batman continues to veer off from the original premise of the show, as far as I'm concerned. I would have liked to see this progression of a young Batman figuring out the ropes a little slower but I think I'm in the minority. And realistically, I guess he has been around long enough now to be in charge of his little Bat family. By the way--I hate that fucking little Robin. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Teen Titan Robin but this little wiseacre is just not--funny. I like Batgirl much better than I like Robin. I did like Luthor ("Luuu-tor") on the show--isn't it funny how each new version of Lex gets slimmer and slimmer?

The *good* Robin

That's exactly how I feel!!!!!!! I really, really liked the show the way it was, before Batgirl and Robin. I liked Bruce and Alfred figuring everything out.

Not that I don't like the Justice League, but I guess right now I just don't give a damn about them. The show is "The Batman" not "Batman and the Justice League." I wasn't even a religious watcher of the Justice League when it was on, and I don't want those other steroid cases impinging on my show. Yeah, the ep with Supes was fun, but that's all I want to see. They don't need everyone else.

Though we do differ on our view of the side kicks- I hate Batgirl but like Robin. Then again, I'm not sure if I like Robin so much just because he's Robin or because I hate Batgirl that much and he's less irritating by comparison. I also don't watch Teen Titans Go, so I don't have that comparison going on. Either way the boy needs to eat something. Too skinny.

I'm glad I'm not alone it this! I also don't want the show to be a revolving door of Superheroes. This character was so very interesting, and now they're watering him down.

Oh, and when I say that I like Batgirl better, it's just the choice between stepping in poo and stepping glass--I'd rather step in poo. :)

Yeah, he's got some odd American take on anime going on there....
