1* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Stephanie Brown, the long-suffering but upbeat EnsembleDarkhorse of the Bat Family, suffers an AttemptedRape and is subsequently rejected by the Bat Family. Suffice to say, once the first episode dropped, any interest in the show from her fanbase dropped ''immediately''.
2* BrokenBase: The AttemptedRape. It's either not a big deal and just a sign that the series is darker, or it absolutely ruined the first episode and was [[GratuitousRape an example of the overuse of rape on female characters in superhero fiction]].
3* OvershadowedByControversy: It's safe to say the series is ''mostly'' remembered for the AttemptedRape of an upbeat character and pretty much nothing else.
4* TooBleakStoppedCaring: What led to the series dying almost immediately; as it turns out, taking a character who was light and hopeful and making a gritty, dark web series where she's nearly raped in the ''first episode'' is a great way to make the audience lose interest.
