I think you are giving him too much credit. That is still no excuse for a bad show. He could have had some kids in different age ranges to appeal to broader audiences. The LA Times reviewer is quite correct: there's also no excuse for HD to look like a cross between Barbarella and the Adam West version of Batman - it is so far out of tune with the current expectations of Super-Hero-ish shows that it is likely to drive people away.

In fact, the thing he *should* have done was a kid-friendly satire of the current zeitgeist for Super-Hero-angst. For instance, ultra-overwrought teen angst to appeal to his traditional age group could be hilarious for adults while the storyline has a fair amount of jeopardy that kids would find exciting. Take a look at the 1966 Batman film for this.
