them. I was really excited for the show. The script was okay, but I
absolutely love the characters. My favorite is the Penguin who is a
villain. I think the actors are really good and they’re going to be
great at portraying the characters. It’s going to be cool to see all
the villains, because in the movies there’s only two villains and now
there will be more from old comics and old movies.”
