Yeah, no idea why they thought going the fake-visions/dream sequence type direction for a season finale was the way to go. Also didn't care for the way they used [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Batman. I know it had to do with the plot, but still. It ended up feeling more like a mid-season finale, which was an extremely underwhelming end for what is otherwise a very strong opening season IMO.

right I agree I didn't know at all it was a season finale... I guess its like breaking bad in the sense its basically the one continuous arc? in reference to the spoiler above ^^^ I guess they figured that would be enough by itself to make a splash but imo they should move away from the bigs all together
Based on that, what ended up being the finale was essentially supposed to only be the first half of the finale. Which goes back to what I said about it feeling more like a mid-season finale. Like a bit of story was missing. Because it was.

Finally got around to binging this. The marketing did not do this show justice. It was great! Not DD, Punisher, or Legion level, but definitely beats out Gotham or any of the CW shows.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Jason Todd was the highlight IMO. Man, what a scene.
While I still hold to the opinion that the costume designs and marketing for this were horrible, I found myself enjoying the series...even with the over the top edginess of it.
Just finished this. It's... A mixed bag. A poor adaptation in a lot of places, and yet decent in at least one or two others. Well-shot and acted in places, not in others. I'll give season two a chance, sure, but I'll keep my expectations in check.
maybe it was my lowered expectation due to the marvel shows and the CW shows. I'm not a big DC guy but I really enjoyed it it seems like most did as well. it can go either way now expectations have been set. as a show I liked it as a super hero show I liked it. plus the fact I didn't have to know a lot about the dc universe to jump in.
Saw epsiode 1 and barring Robin it was hilariously bad

I thought we learned a lot about [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Batman and thought he looked pretty bad ass. I get it was a dream thing, but im asssuming what we saw of him and learned about him is pretty close to the shows real world.
I just didn't care for the manner in which they used him in the episode, narrative-wise. I didn't feel like our first introduction to this version of the character should be a hallucination where he just went crazy and started murdering people. But eh, that's just me.

I'm pretty sure Dick killed at least a couple of people in the pilot, and I haven't seen anything in subsequent episodes to at least explain why they suddenly turned it around to "Batman doesn't approve of killing".
We were flat out told why Batfleck was the way he was.
I would have to rewatch the pilot. I think he was just being really violent, like taking peoples eyes out, but from the finale Im guessing he would make sure none of those injuries would insta kill them.
Like what was his moral code? Where would he draw the line? I mean he was going to murder Superman right?
I honestly took that more to be them swerving hard during the season to try to make Dick look less like a psychopath. I mean, he fires a pistol in to a crowd at one point, and stabs at least a few of the bad guys.
