True enough (for the second season, S-1 didn't have all that much Super Stuff going on, just conspiracies and the like), but the majority of the powered villains are all very Batman-ish, capable of being taken down by normal humans.

(Aside from Mr. Freeze, Fish, and Azazel natch)

Stardust was more or less the kind of villain that is faced on Gotham.

I guess when I mean "grounded in reality" I mean "They don't summon tornadoes and breach universes with every step"
