As a tween in the 70's I lost interest in comics as I began to realize that women were often portrayed in degrading ways (sadly a trend that is still very much alive and kicking).

Over the years I'd heard about Batman's new gritty relaunch, read some of the stuff, and didn't care for it (if I wanted gritty realism, why would I be reading comics? I can turn on the news for free.)

But I've been very much enjoying "The Batman" animated series on Boomerang. The depiction of Bruce Wayne seems to strike a perfect note - dark enough to take him seriously, yet still recognizably a human being (glory be, he even cracks a smile now and then!) Detective Yin is a strong, intelligent female character, and for the most part women are not portrayed with the impossible physiques and clingy clothes that characterized "Batman - the Animated Series".

I've enjoyed "The Batman" so much I'm considering buying the complete series - which will be the first DC-related purchase I've made in years.

The artwork in this series is different. More anime style, but it is still Batman!!! I love it!
