The show did have some good story elements to it like putting the Batman: Earth One version of the gun-toting Alfred in it, but I prefer the more wise, father/physician Alfred over that one; the shows Alfred was too much of a stretch/coincidence for me that he was ex-British Intelligence and not a war vet who knows a lot but also has seen too much, so he has that one watchful eye on Bruce.
Maybe the fact that some characters were a bit over the top, which is fine in comics; in animated/movie form they need to be a bit more believable...maybe this was a warm-up for the MoS sequel and their direction.
