I would be a purist too, I think, if I hadn't started with the show. It's like Jesus Christ Superstar. Because I watched the PBS version first, that's the one I base my comparisons on (though I'm not stuck on that one, I do prefer it), while because my brother watched the movie first, he only likes that one. It's good, in a way, that I can now jump between the two fandoms with no problem, while I'd most definitely be in your shoes if it was the other way around. But yes. I watched the first five minutes, my jaw dropped at the Helena/Barbara, and I was hooked, if only for that reason. Plus, Harley was deliciously crazyevil. And hits on Helena. All the time.
That would never happen in the comicverse.
Yeah? I don't know much about their comicverse relations. I've read comics with both Bruce and Selina, but not together, so idk.
The ages is what screws me up the most. Barbara's younger than Bruce, but Selina's younger than Barbara in comicverse (methinks), and yet in TV verse Selina is relatively close to Barbara's age, but logically has to be older to provide the fairly closeness in age between Barbara and Helena. Idk. Oddness. Plus the whole Bruce = deadbeat dad thing. That was weird.
