Part 5/8:
Within the show, several classic DC characters, particularly Frankenstein, have undergone significant recharacterization. Traditionally portrayed as a noble and heroic figure in comics, the animated version presents him as more juvenile and flawed, which diverges dramatically from the source material.
The show seems to shift the focus to his partner, the Bride of Frankenstein, who is showcased with remarkable strength and combat experience, further lining up with Gunn's tendency to elevate lesser-known characters. Fans are split on how these portrayals align with their beloved comics, and discussions on character integrity continue to take place.
