Oh boy, there is so much source material. The obviously questionable casting choices aside (although there are few exceptions, the 2nd Robin for example does an excellent job in delivering the unlikable, troubled brat that he is): there is a curvature in quality within this show. A weak first season with a stronger second one gave me hope, but season three has unfortunately set a new low. Boring and obvious storytelling, irrational behaviour of the characters, cheesy dialogues, cheap action and fighting scenes... seriously, the supposedly "strongest" characters are getting sidelined for no obvious reason besides forcibly giving meaningless characters more screentime. And I'm not talking about the 'whiney sod Batman' display who is obviously not the centerpiece of this show. Superboy gets demoted to a comic relief and backrow love interest of a guest character and cannot be part of the big showdown because... why exactly? There are countless other new 'twists' to storytelling that take the thrill out of the story which would spoil story when mentioned here. So after all, it's a mildly entertaining watch if you don't mind switching off your brain while doing so, but the dark, threatening and serious setting of the DC universe is not reflected at all. Don't expect Christopher Nolan or Zack Snyder's level of interpretation and cinematography here.
