I stopped watching when the blood got gratuitous, dramatised violence is often incorrectly described as gratuitous but in this instance it really was. Throwing a bucket of gore over things ceases to be shocking the fiftieth time you see it and is just easy and distracting.

So like, 5 minutes in when Robin dies?

It reads like someone that's never seen a show talk about it. "I stoped watching wen it got political"

When it becomes so silly, it also becomes more palatable. This is the same reason Mortal Kombat is a thing. If the gore was realistic like the game manhunt, it'd be much more off-putting. The silly excess of blood and gore actually makes it less realistic, and thus more acceptable. A fatality can be watched and even laughed at by most people, while the average person wouldn't watch snuff films or even real fights.
