It starts off with a shot of a building looking like that done by the Godzilla/Men In Black cartoon creators.
The original Paul Dini Batman was great, cuz everything was dark and you couldn't see stuff clearly.
The roll over to the shot of Batman's shadow, showing where is plainly, and even drawing your attention to it with the camera movement, a camera movement in a digital animated work mind you.
Then they pan through from statues, before shooting a batarang, with the camera going back to the batarang, without the batarang surprising or even giving a scare.
It sorta reminds me of going for 90s Spider-Man to Spectacular in terms of storytelling.
It may even be a 1920s pulp direction.
Random ass criminals jump in the air like superheroes.
Cartoony sound effects, but made darker than like 60s Batman.
This may also have a TMNT 00s feeling too.
The voice acting is really good though.
I like the shot of Batman fighting in the darkness with occassional light showing up. Good way to cheapen the budget too, without making it obvious. Made it look cooler even.
Again, I didn't see it as something that could've been played off as Star Wars, although this was inspired by pulps obviously.
The criminal makes a joke to splitting the take with Batman. Why should we care that this criminal is given a take? Despite being a main character in the Batman comics, there is no development for his character in this opening minute of this episode.
Kung fu sequence is cut short, instead giving us this water tower in a muddy green screen sky.
Also note, if you don't notice this stuff, it's fine. But if you hate this show, you'll love what I'm saying.
You see Batman's foot when he shows up.
