Not for kids

This version of a Batman cartoon has, in only the first 5 or 10 minutes, characters tortured and killed on screen, and a variety of swearing and even sexual references. In a superhero cartoon (which should be for kids), that's disgusting. For me, any potential positive elements are drowned out by those negatives, and I won't be watching the rest of the series given that basis.

This title has:

  • Too much violence
  • Too much swearing

Too non-canon for me

If you are looking for Batman with diversity and inclusion, and things like a female penguin, a Harley Quinn without a joker in her origin, a body positive overweight/obese Alfred, race swapping, and Detective Montoya (specifically as a prominent DC LGBTQ+ character), this will likely be interesting to you. I was expecting this to be a "young batman," period series set in the 1940s (when he was invented) as his suit and opening credit cowl is that of the original 1939 No.27 Detective Comics. However, it seems to imagine a different origin or be set in a different history or timeline. Too much changing of canon for me, to the point I didn't feel these were the characters I had meant to share with my kids. Much of the psychological complexity and torture are also more mature than the animation style would suggest. We stopped watching after episode 4.

Not for kids

We love Batman but we’re so bummed at all the swearing, sexual innuendo/content and how far off this story took things. We had to stop watching after a few episodes.

This title has:

  • Too much violence
  • Too much sex
  • Too much swearing

bit confused on who the target audience is

after watching the first episode I did like it but I question who the intended audience is it has swearing and intense violence though the violence is expected it's still at a very high level and even Batman almost killed someone

This title has:

  • Great role models
  • Too much violence
  • Too much swearing
  • Too much drinking/drugs/smoking

This show is Amazing! Anyone who loves Batman the animated series will love this show! The female Penguin is a little weird tho.
