GOTHAM, seasons 1 to 5

GOTHAM on FOX

thought the premiere was pretty good

stuck with the legend in the killing of the WAYNE'S

although this time- I am thinking that the Butler did it\

also showed just about every major villain in the BATMAN legendarium

enigma (the riddler), penguin, catwoman (will she be good or evil?), posion Ivy

all except Ivy-are older then Bruce Wayne--young adults while Bruce is like 12 or so

not sure if Gordon's partner will turn out to be two face--he has a diff last name--he does already have the conflicted dual loyalty thing going on

hope it sticks

So....is it a soap opera or what? :)

More like a cop show but with the twist of us knowing who all of the would be villains will become

see how close it keeps with previous works-if I were to guess though from the look of the shots and the acting/writing- I would say it will keep with the batman world of the Nolan (dark knight) movies

thats assuming it makes it past season 1 that is

The video photography is some impressive . Not a fan of cop shows or the batman movies but I'm gonna watch this one . It's has so much color and really cool camera angles . Very impressive .

Personally, I found the scenes that included Jada Pinkett's un-pixelated vagina to be gratuitous and offensive. :beckett_new050:

I hope you are speaking figuratively about that bat....

We have a bunch of jokers right here.

So we just got intro'd to the teen who will be the Joker

This show-IMO- is still going strong--not a dull ep so far (fingers crossed)

Also, Gordon's ex girl, I can't remember all of the female villains from the ORig Batman show--wasn't there a spoiled princes type villain? I think she may fit that character after this last episode

--
And just how creepy will E. Nigma have to get before he gets canned and goes all riddler?


Seems like FOX has a pretty good record of getting decent shows that go good for awhile then know when to go away without shark leaping

fringe comes to mind

Now if we could just get some good space based sci fi out of them....

I have only been able to catch a little bit of this show here and there to be honest. If I recall correctly though, being the lovable cynic that I am, I didn't predict the greatest things for this show, but... From what I've seen of it so far it looks fairly good. It seems stylish and produced quite well. I'll have to make it a point to catch up with it sometime.

BTW, the one thing that concerns me is the development of all the regular Batman villains while Bruce Wayne is still a child. It seems kind of odd but maybe it's a good thing. Hard to tell at this point.

Yeah, the timing just doesn't make sense. FF to a time when Bruce/Batman is about 30, and many of these enemies will be ready for retirement.

I liked this show at the beginning, but I'm slowly losing interest. Maybe it's cause the outcome is preordained... you can't kill Penguin, Enigma, or such...

the age thing doesn't bother too much

in the original series, and in the later movies---penguin, joker...they were older then M. Selena Kyle is about his age, like in the show, same with poison ivy.

and the penguin and the would be joker are not that much older then bruce, i think alfred (in the show) mentioned he was 13 (?) and penguin is a young man just trying to make his way into the scene

anyhow, wouldn't want to get knee deep into ages,etc and have another "William Adama service record vs age" odyssey going on (if you were involved you know what i am talking about)

a good show

season one finale

only one boss left--Penguin

that is if everyone else is really dead...

Selena goes over the edge of criminality and the bat cave revealed?

just what was Bruce's dad doing down there?

probably have to wait to at least 2016 I am sure...

I liked this show in the beginning but grew tired of it about midway through the season, although I did continue to watch. One of the few things that interests me now is where they're taking the Barbara Kean character. Surely the woman we saw last night is not going to end up being the mother of Bat Girl.
