Typically, this sort of show worries me. It's so easy for it to suck. But, so far, I'm not disappointed. The first episode was really good and told a lot in a short time. But even more key for me is that Katie seems to like it so far. It's become far too difficult to watch shows without her. We have so little time for TV as it is so to have to split time is tough.

It was funny, though, to listen to Katie as she watched the show. She has seen the movies and watched the original Adam West series, but I wouldn't really call her a Batman fan. No comic books. Not much backstory knowledge. And definitely not one to know the alter egos of characters other than Batman and Robin (so long as you're only referring to the Robin of the Adam West series and not all the additional Robins that the comic book has introduced; heck, I can't even keep up with all of them).

Yet here she was... "That guy is going to become Riddler, isn't he?" "I know he's going to be someone... Penguin?" "That's definitely Poison Ivy." And, like most of us, "Who the heck is she going to be?" in reference to Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett-Smith).

I'm proud. She gets full geek creds so far as I'm concerned.
