Great animation and world-building. Like the choices they made with the characters, particularly the Gordons and Harley Quinn. For the most part, I liked the character designs, though some were a little too simple (Two-Face in particular).
Obviously impossible not to compare this to BTAS. In that respect, I think the writing and the set pieces don’t pack the same punch, but I’m interested to see how the show evolves. The Clayface episode was my favorite. They really nailed the tone with that one and the clayface design and the voice actor were both on point.

Character arcs are more compelling.
I like Barbara being a public defender, she sits at the intersection of "crime," punishment, and injustice. Isn't just an idealistic teenager who's bored, has philosophical leanings that make her an interesting potential partner of Bruce. Like that Harley is her own woman, not just a Joker derivative, and enjoyed her sessions with Bruce. I'm guessing she'll figure out who he is over time.
I like the realistic aspect of three women with all these damn men around finding kinship and camraderie with each other.
Dent was good too, but goddamn they love to kill that nigga lol. Granted, it was much better than how they did it in The Dark Knight but that character could have had legs, especially since characters can kill and be killed.
Lucius Fox a lawyer??? I like but I'm wondering how many people he has in his circle who can look out. I feel like Tompkins may know who he is, but can't really see anyone else who knows right now.
His relationship with Alfred is most interesting. Was WAITING for him to call him by his first name lol. Still not sure exactly how old Bruce is supposed to be but there is a lot of good backstory to explore their relationship and his evolution.

I liked that it was cemented in a 1940s world and felt more like detective noir. The pacing was fun, not too fast or too slow.
Its episodic nature with a slight overall arch was an excellent way to build the world. Flipping genders on the Pengiun was fun; my hope for the next season is an enormous overall arch for the story with more growth for Bruce, Barbara, and Jim.
Clayface and the Ghost were standout episodes for me. Catwoman was fun, and I hope to see more of her in future seasons.
The bottom line is that this is what DC animation should be, not the abomination that was Justice League Crisis on Multiple Earths.

the incel/white supremacist/woman-hating crowd always whine about the elevation of women in a role/story. just about anything can be done with storytelling, it's all about execution. this was masterfully done.

I'm thankful they made it all the way through without Mr. J. I thought they were playing the card too early with Harley, but she was a wild bitch all by herself. They could probably take over a full season together.
