[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 322451, member: 8"] The gayest moment so far happens in the first Joker episode when Bruce tells Dick that learning music is ver important. [ATTACH type="full"]37179[/ATTACH] Kinda like Ted Dinard teaching Steven Carrington how to be an educated and sophisticated gay man, but with an underlying "Village People" sensibility. Even in this third story it already starts to feel increasingly formulaic but I guess that's part of the joke. Nevertheless, without even a whiff of suspense the episodes can [I]only[/I] rely on the gimmicks and the intentional embarrassingly badly staged shenanigans. It [I]is[/I] very funny and I [I]feel[/I] this should be my cup of tea, and yet, I'm never laughing. I can't say it disappoints because I had no idea what kind of show it was going to be but at the same time it's hard to ignore my mind-numbing feeling when I watch the episodes. I don't like the Joker as much as the Riddler and the Penguin, actually I found him quite irritating (even if he's supposed to be irritating he shouldn't irritate me). All in all, I still struggle to get into it and the fabulous production makes that even more frustrating. I really really want to like this - perhaps what I need is A TRICK! to make that happen.
