I can't quite put my finger on it though Caped Crusader is missing something, I actually connected quicker with Beware The Batman, Beware The Batman was very underrated IMO and deserved more seasons.
What made BTB work for me was its radically different approach. Full CGI, a whole slew of previously unused characters from the comics (e.g. Prof. Pyg, Humpty Dumpty, Anarky, ...), a cool theme song, an interesting Alfred, and so on. I was never tempted to compare that series to something else. I wish they'd given us a few more seasons of BTB to be frank. The comics were fun too, but only one miniseries was released.
Rumor??? Can I hold you to it???
Yes! I am not sure why I thought August 10th. I guess I just assumed it coincided with getting my teaching materials together and let out a sigh...

Batman Caped Crusader episode 4 Excellent writing, the show got quite dark with some superb animation.
Batman Caped Crusader after completing the first season I give it a 8 out of 10, the show has solid writing which is clearly a well executed slow burn with promise of greatness to come. The character and world building makes this worth while, I could have easily binged another ten episodes because I am invested in the characters. The ending is incredibly powerful,, I got quite emotional. I will definitely buy this on Bluray.
That lost shot
Looking forward to watching this season again though the first episode is a bad way to start, thankfully it gets so much better, will my opinion change on episode 1?
First episodes are always shaky, in terms of quality.
In the old days that was true as the first episode was the pilot, today shows don't do pilots for the majority.
The first episode was the worst though they can heavily rely on the IP.

most of these experiments pay off well, especially
What impressed me was how the slow build gave weight to character motivations, especially with the character you mentioned, it was earned.
I do miss the days of 20 plus episodes we got in the 90's per season, I did not want BCC to end.
And yet, I wonder why Christopher Drake wasn't invited to do it. His couple of Bond scores were almost perfect in my opinion.
Wiedmann is not that lower level. He composed the scores for a ton of DC animated material, and some of his music is really powerful. He's part of why Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox moves me to tears. But the cymbal clashes annoy me too. I guess these musicians sometimes aren't given the tools to produce really good music.
Yeah. I'm a hugh fan of Drake. His the reason Zimmer hasn't been called to score a Batman/DC cartoon. Drake is that good.
Yeah. Agreed. The animation isn't that stellar. I'm surprised you didn't like Wiedmann's score, though. But yeah, it's cool to know what someone likes and doesn't.

There's this:
and there's this:
DC Animation has gotten lazy. Why? Cutting time, money, people? In any case, I have stayed away from the recent JLA movies simply because the animation comes off as amateur hour.
Yeah @DarthDimi the animation needs looking into.
Yes, I also found the music unmemorable and the animation rather stiff. The show feels a bit sedate and constrained, despite the attractiveness of the character designs and the period furnishings and props. It doesn't have the excitement or animation quality of the classic DC cartoons, probably because of lowered budgets, though I also notice there aren't many DCAU veterans on the staff, aside from the producers. But since we're only 10 episodes in, there's the possibility of some improvement. I'd say it's good show but so far not essential viewing for Bat-fans.
I agree and just finished all last night. It's good but, not quite as magically as TAS. I'm trying to put my finger on it...
I think it could be down to the lack of Paul Dini and Alan Burnett. I think that both men and the writing they’ve done were a critical component behind the success of BTAS. Caped Crusader is missing that quality writing imo, hopefully a second season fixes this.
Like the lackluster theme song for this show I find the whole thing lacking energy and pace. Based on the two episodes I watched I would give it a 2 out of 5.
Interesting, @thedove. The second episode may be my favourite of the season.
Preordered with a discount.
It does sadden me that we will never get this movie.

Yes. I felt and still fell the pain.
One thing is that I wouldn't mind if they changed Batman's look for the second series. He generally looks good, but maybe tone down the light grey- I could never quite get over the feeling that he looked a bit silly standing there in his tights when he's supposed to be imposing.
“I didn’t care one way or another,” Keaton told GQ. “Big, fun, nice check.”
Haha, gotta love Keaton.
If it's any consolation, it's very likely the film wasn't particularly good anyway.
