So someone had to have thought "Hey we have a highly anticipated animated series coming out, lets compete with Castlevania and make our episodes even shorter than they did." Even fan made videos on YouTube are longer than this joke of a series. What's worse, in case the idioticaly short series wasn't bad enough. 2 whole episodes are wasted explaining the backstory with Astra as if it was a mystery. If your gonna make really short episode, don't waste time on a side plot, that's just idiotic. I wasn't surprised someone decided to do that, though, considering Bruce Wayne's parents death is shown in every Batman movie.
At least the show is free to watch on the CW Seed.
Having Matt Ryan in Legends of Tomorrow was the best thing that happen with Costantine.
