they managed to tell a new story focusing on those sidekicks and redefining the whole DCAU at the same time. The show is not only one of the greatest animated DC stories ever, is also kind of a degree in clasic DC pantheon and lore.
The story is strong, not only in terms of plot but how it make the characters grow.
The animation is superb, Bourassa is basically the modern Bruce Timm in therms of character design. I´m currently studying anatomyand is amazing how he understand bodies and motion. I also can´t stop admiring how great some of the redesigns are. They know when to keep things classic (Supes, Batman) and when to push things to another level (Dick, Wally)
Pick Aqualad. Still is the best example of how to redesign and actualize a classic comic concept.
