GOTHAM Final season (number 5) premieres Jan 3rd
I know many of you do not like it, preferring the more 'comic' type versions of batman and his associated characters
GOTHAM though has come a long way from s1 with character development and story lines. Just when you think they had intro'd a character where you thought you knew for sure who they were and what they would do (based on BATMAN "canon") they changed it up and kept the fans hanging out for more.
Now, it has been announced that this will be the intro to THE DARK KNIGHT trilogy
I don't know if that is "official" but it is being advertised that way, so I don't think FOX would be making those claims if it were not so.
I have been saying from S1 that the tone, plot and character performances are very much in keeping with that of THE DARK KNIGHT series of films with a 'rewrite' of sorts for Bruce's overseas sojourn when he was trained as well as his relationship with Ra's al Gul.
It definitely does not support the stupid Affleck BAT or any of the old films from the 80's and 90's (although the girl in GOTHAM who plays Serena Kyle/ catwoman, is a pretty good match for a young Michelle Pfeifer)
hey though, I am no longer in the business of 'defending' what I like or trying to make any hard pitches for why someone should watch anything. I'll just say that now that it is coming to it's end and after watching all prev 4 seasons, GOTHAM is, at the least, a show worthy of a good binge when your other favorites are out of season.
