I normally don't expect too much either, but the fact that there's such an obvious compare/contrast available makes it harder to cut the new series slack. With JLU out there, continuing the legacy of BTAS, and in fact airing RIGHT AFTER The Batman on Saturday nights, the comparisons are inevitable. And tend not to favor TB.
Meanwhile, most other series really only have to compare to themselves. If they get better than they were, that's enough...they don't have to get better than something else.
