Trivia
Hamish Linklater was reportedly "obsessed" with Batman: The Animated Series (1992) and Kevin Conroy who starred in as Batman. "And I think - even though when I was making my audition tape, I certainly wasn't trying to copy him - but those vibrations were [there], that sound was in my head, and that was, I think, probably what I was pursuing."

"The Truth is always better than the alternative"

Honestly, I thought this was average at best. Mediocre at worst.

It gets quite tiring giving chances to the exact same kind of thing over and over again. What was it that they wanted to tell so badly that they had to do a new Batman for current generations? That Bruce was a jerk to his staff at some point? It doesn't even deviate from the original canon enough to be interesting, it's safe while feeling tampered enough to raise some eyebrows.

Sadly, episodes feel too short and too simplistic. There's no creativity, innovation or ambition. The last two should have been the beginning of the season (aside from the very last element of it), and the rest should have been better. Considering how Batman cuffs a villain to a small table's leg in a Museum and walks away.. it is not too much to ask for. The visuals are good enough, but might as well watch Timm's original work.
