At first I was not a big fan of this cartoon. For reasons of the script writing, and because of the animation direction. Unfortunately the last 2 or 3 episodes started to hook me in but as it stands it will not be airing on Cartoon Network anytime soon. Beware the Batman: Season 1 Part 1: Shadows of Gotham hits stores 2/18/14.
