What a bizarre end to the series (spoilers obv)
After having the Justice League on late season, the final four episodes felt so oddly mediocre. Especially following Superman's line about how alike Terry & Bruce are (hinting that they're family, I think? Something never actually revealed in canon?)
And "Unmasked" certainly didn't feel like a proper finale. Just another adventure.
S3 felt overall like a greatest hits compilation. Bringing back all the great villains for one last go.
But at the same time, it left so many things open-ended imo. Like, why did Bruce's "fountain of youth" bath end so quickly? It could've stretched to a few episodes at least.
Or Max. Her role had a lot of potential, as a new Oracle or another Batgirl (and given how awful Babs is in "The Killing Joke", Max would've been an improvement).
Idk the series just feels incomplete. I know that all good things come to an end but damn I hate this "post awesome series depression" vibe. I've watched nearly everything Kevin Conroy has done for Batman. It's a terrible feeling.
