I mostly loved it, although I still hated how they portrayed Jim Gordon, and to a lesser extent, Babs.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is this where we talk about Harley Quinn? (Everyone needs to be watching Harley Quinn. It is so good.)
It is so good! For me (maybe for nobody else) there's a clear line from The Tick to Venture Bros. to Archer to Harley Quinn. Deep fannnish affection for the genre that explodes the weirdness and fucked-upedness of it in increasingly raw fashion. (This association is probably reinforced by things like Clayface sounding a LOT like Baron Orpheus, etc.)
It's not only incredibly funny, the characters are extremely well defined and their relationships smartly drawn out. It's got laughs and emotional heft.

I kind of loved how they portrayed Jim Gordon.

Jim Gordon is the rock that keeps Batman grounded, not the other way around!

Jim Gordon's an alcoholic who's got a lot of fucking issues!

OK, I'm mildly confused. Kite Man and Condiment King are both villains, but they are nemeses?

Hey. New board.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Kite Man vs Condiment King is more of an intra-office rivalry.

Oh, a work nemesis, not an arch-nemesis. OK

...and it took me nearly a week to remember that Tim Burton directed Batman Returns so maybe I don't need to be questioning any details
