About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, case-of-the-week superhero series with mystery-solving, occasional humor, and big emotional swings; Not for you if you want light kids-only fare or nonstop action like Justice League Unlimited.

Pros: dark noir mood; strong episodic mysteries; humor amid grit | Cons: uneven animation quality; some dull episodes; predictable reveals sometimes
