Notes on the most recent episode:
 * 1) Good to see Gotham City's so clean Batman can waste time taking down street artists. I can't wait for the opener to next week's episode where Batman takes on Gotham's pan-handlers.
 * 2) When it was first announced the show wouldn't feature Batman's main rogues gallery in favor of his lesser-known villains, I liked that. If B:TAS didn't use lesser-known villains like Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy, they'd probably be obscure today. But I have a problem when those more obscure villains become clones of the famous ones. This show made Moon Knight Anarky a copy of Heath Ledger's Joker.
 * 3) I also liked this Batman was supposed to be more of a detective, but I'm not getting this impression of the show so far. The only detective work in this episode is finding pollen from a rare flower in a footprint on the Batmobile, leading him to conclude the street punks with high-tech weaponry are working for someone. BRILLIANT DEDUCTION. It's not like he already realized that a scene prior or anything. This Batman is only a guy who beats up costumed freaks, and less of what he was promised to be.
