I have to admit, this series is (to quote a film critic) a Mixed Bat.

I HATE HATE HATE what they did to Mr. Freeze, and ESPECIALLY the Joker. I could get into a rambling manifesto about how lame the Joker is.

That said, there are some pretty decent episodes. I really did like the episode where Joker becomes Batman, and that would have been a wonderful concept in the original series as well. I liked the fact Firefly was doing corporate sabotage in his premiere episode, and some of the darker storylines are pretty good.

I still think Batgirl, designwise and concept wise is a caucasian late teens version of Jade from Jackie Chan Adventures. Had Bats remained solo, the show would have been a bit better.

And of course, the one thing that bothers me is that the plots seem pretty cliched in certain episodes. It almost reminds me of The Mighty Heroes (e-mail me if you don't know) how they always introduce one one shot villain an episode, and the entire show is basically just fighting that character in a semi-formulaic sense.

But, I'm raising my opinion of the show to dreadful to pretty good, just not the 90's series.
