Aman619 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I thought it was a good start. Compared to Arrow, which I like for the slow rollout of the TV DC universe! but have to admit is a pretty cheesy love story and small bore superhero adventure --- but Gotham compares nicely. Hey, maybe by next year we will all be looking at the rash of TV superhero shows very differently. Getting bored with the limitations of scale and budget. I suggest any of you interested watch the 3 or 4 preview informercials for the show where the creators spell out just what they are seeking to accomplish. Based on what they said, they are right on the money. This going to be a show about a weird violent town. The ideal place to eventually birth a Batman. Many of us have subscribed to the comics idea that it was Batman who spawned the rise of copycat costumed villains. The show makes the case that it was Gotham City that gave rise to the batman.. I think they have a lot to say on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 Cent #II (1st) Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I thought it was a decent start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I pvr'd it and watched it tonight and thought it was a good start. They set a whole bunch of things in motion in the pilot which is fine. I have no idea why some of you are so negative - the Agents of SHIELD pilot blew big time compared to this one and it has turned out okay......

CAHokie Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I thought it was dull and boring. Blah. Peace, Chip On the bright side, you can now go back to watching Dancing with the Stars! I liked it. Not being a huge Batman collector, I can forgive the changes that they made in characters, but I do think they introduced to many at once. It would have been cool to slowly introduce them as the season progressed to give that cool moment when you realize who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicopolis Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 We have to wait another month in the UK. Best to give a new show at least 6 episodes to see its worth I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpiercy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) This was getting very positive press so I had some expectations. I thought it was ok. Can't help but think it would be better produced by AMC/FX/Netflix. What they are doing w/the Penguin looks like it will be pretty cool. The title sequences are a very derivative/generic After Effects treatment. Come on guys, try harder. Edited September 24, 2014 by dpiercy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunsicker Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The comic fan in me says 7 out of 10, but if I was watching as someone not steeped in comic lore I would guess it would be about a 3 out of 10. Full of easter eggs to satisfy the comic junkie in me, but the acting was less satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hado Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I enjoyed it, a little cheesy at times and I'll agree there may have been too many intro's but I think It'll be great once the family's start going at one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuckuss2003 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I liked it. My wife gave up after 30 minutes. She loves the movies but can't get into any of the TV shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Captain Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Quite cheesy, many scenes are unnecessarily aggressive and it doesn't all quite fit together. I'll give it another try, but am not convinced, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erndog Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I thought the writing was forced and stilted. Also, the cat lady was VERY deliberate and clunky. Forced and stilted? What does that even mean? Edited September 25, 2014 by Erndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Both are self explanatory and I agree with them. The writing doesn't flow naturally. It isn't smooth and seamless. They seem like they are trying too hard to impress people by putting too much content into one show. Amateurish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
