NinjaSealed Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 This show is so good and so bad at the same time. Either way I think it is the comic show I look forward to seeing every week at this point. Great scene followed by laugh out loud stupid scene after the commercial break.

slym2none Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I look at it like a comic-book come to life. The opening scene? Madness! Chaos! Wild! Like something... well, like something right out of a comic book. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdoginohio Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Starting to like Nygma a lot more. Loved his license plate. Had to rewind a couple of times. Are cops from the DC shows the worse shots in the world? Also, anybody else trying to picture a cowl on Bruce in his profile shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicksilver Signs Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Watched tonight's episode. What a ridiculously bad show. The Flamingo?? Nice job on the lax security for a guy who just killed 4 cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zosocane Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) The rising level of gratuitous violence each episode is ridiculous -- far worse than Boardwalk Empire which was a 10 pm start on a subscription channel. It just makes the show dumb. Ed Nygma murdering and butchering Miss Kryngle, that I completely understand. The multiple cops murdered seemingly each week? Ridiculous and by now a pathetic self-parody. It's a pity that one of the show's central characters is an approximately 12- or 13-year-old boy, and an excellent supporting character is probably a 14- or so year-old girl ... but I won't let my kids watch Gotham.

By the time Batman shows up he'll be just another kook in Crazytown. Makes the entire point of a Batman "striking terror" null and void. Wayne might as well go out in a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers as The Bathman. Might even be scarier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the whole series was mainly to be about Gordon with some Bruce here & there learning how to rise up from the place he's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it's still a Batman story about Batman characters in Batman's city. A timeline. Gotham should film Gordon like a badazz bollywood cop. Give young Bruce something to live up to...

romanheart Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think the reason people watch is for all the over-the-top deaths, sometimes multiple deaths per episode. No one can die quickly. It started off really well with in the first season, and degraded like many have said to a ' Tracy' like feeling. I can't place what era this show is supposed to take place in. There is flip cell-phones but sometimes it looks like it's an earlier time. If not for the gruesomeness of the show, I am not sure anyone would keep watching. It should revolve back around Gordon and Harvey mostly. Boy Wayne annoys the mess out of me. 5 episodes in a row and the good guys have done nothing. Penguin has done more. Very 'Dark Knight Rises' feeling going about the show. They're using up all the rogues gallery for Batman. How could there ever be a Batman series now?

Davenport Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's too bad they didn't do an adaption of Gotham Central for tv. It was very well done and has great reviews. They could've handled Batman like they do Superman on the Supergirl show. A fleeting glimpse, shadowy exit, backlit silhouette or off-camera voice. Otherwise do Gotham as a great police procedural. A Gotham like that could play for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT best, the show ends with: 1. Bruce Wayne faking his death soon after he goes away to college (or earlier) 2. Barbara will die, but after having Jim's baby (James Jr). And at the end of the show he adopts Barbara, who's parents were murdered. 3. Joker reveal 4. Penguin will be on top of the criminal world but trying to go straight (hopefully with a top hat and a monocle) 5. Nothing will change about Harvey Bullock Edited November 17, 2015 by Revat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosocane Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think the reason people watch is for all the over-the-top deaths, sometimes always multiple deaths per episode. No one can die quickly. It started off really well with in the first season, and degraded like many have said to a ' Tracy' like feeling. Fixed it for you. Not only multiple deaths every episode, but now multiple cops killed each episode. 6 cops killed in last night's episode. I'm sure if someone went back and counted the number of dead cops since the pilot episode, it's easily over 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before - this is a comic book that is shown on TV. It is supposed to be over the top, possibly into the "silly" realm. Go ahead. Call me "easily pleased". I have been called worse. -slym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
