    I have decided that this version of Gotham is just another Elseworld tv series were comic book myth get put into the blender and put back together as best they can. As far I can figure at this rate James Gordon will become Batman with Bruce covering the cost.

The premise of 14 year old Bruce Wayne ( meaning no chance of Batman ever appearing) is pretty dumb to begin with. The Villains are all atleast 10 years older than him, so it turns out Batman was just beating up geriatrics :/

      But anyway my post was about the Babara Gordon mess. Which doesn't look salvageable at this point.
      so if Batman was in his 20s when he started out, Riddler, Freeze and co. were only in their 30s, hardly geriatrics. The would be Joker seemed to be a teenager in the show.

        I was surprised at how quickly Mr. freeze was introduced and developed. It felt a bit rushed compared to how the other villains are being introduced and developed (nice and slow).
        Common sense is not that common.

          Interesting how they handled Bruce finally meeting the killer of his parents.

            Just finished last week's eppy of GOTHAM. Not a ton of action, but lots of interesting developments. It's a good thing Alfred works for Bruce Wayne; he seems to spend a lot of time in the hospital! LOL! Still, he is a tough dude and, despite getting the tar beat out of him by "Mr. Cupcake," he still managed to take him out. A lot of Batman's skills and fighting knowledge, at least in this version of the story, are coming via Alfred, which is pretty cool.

            Did anyone catch Hugo Strange's reference to the formula they were using on Oswald Cobblepot as "Crane's." Presumably Jonathan Crane's? A little foreshadowing of The Scarecrow?

            Loved the scene at the bar. Even if he's not likely to show up in Gotham, you can still really feel The Joker's presence, almost as if he were being created simultaneously, but unseen, by Gotham much as The Batman is. I liked the trademark rictus grin on the mask of one of the bar's patrons. It was great to see Lori Petty back in action and if her Jeri wasn't a definite nod to both Mistah J and Harley Quinn, I'll eat my own shorts. Splendid dialogue between she and Bruce.

            And, of course, Bruce's conversation with "Matches" Malone. Really well performed on the part of both players. Looks like Bruce is learning early that death will accomplish nothing, especially when it's sought after as penance for a life of wrongdoing. Of course, did Malone REALLY ice the Wayne's or is Joe Chill still lurking out there in the streets of Gotham?

            Looking forward to tonight's episode as it looks as though Edward Nygma is going to go deeper into his "Riddler" persona.

              Lori Petty is in Netflix's Orange is the New Black.

              Cool summary, agreed across the board...

                I thought Lori Petty had a Heath Ledger vibe to her character.

                  Thanks. Glad you liked it. It truly is one of the best shows Fox has going right now. I did not know Lori Petty was in "Orange is the New Black." It's one of too many shows I have in the pipeline to watch---eventually.

                  Yep, definitely got a Ledger vibe from her character.

                    Lori Petty joined the O is the N B last season as a regular cast member...after a guest star gig the previous season.

                    Yeah, the Ledger vibe is right on....

                      Did anyone notice in the club, on the video screen, the kid who we originally thought was the joker flashed by on it, so theres certainly some culty thing going on.

                        Did not catch that scattered amongst all the other Jokery stuff; I'll have to go back and watch it again. Good catch, alex!

                          I skimmed the thread, so I know I missed some of the conversation =

                          I got way behind. I tuned in to see Freeze. I was thrilled to see Pee Wee!!!!! He is perfect for this roll.

                          As far as Batgirl... I don't know how (or if) they will address this.

                          I was not thrilled with the show, but I have regained interest. I am on Prisoners 3/28

                          -and on the scale of current live action comic TV it is a distant second behind Flash. Legends of tomorrow is tied for second and picking up steam, Supergirl is a little better than it was, Arrow had an incredible season one with a steep decline since.

                          How amazing is it that the worst superhero TV today is far superior to yesterday's best live TV?

                            and not only is Pee Wee perfect for the role as an actor... it is a reprisal of the role.

                              1. Gotham
                              2. The Flash
                              3. Legends of Tomorrow
                              4. Supergirl

                              I don't watch Arrow, never cared for it.

                              Looks like Hugo might revive Jerome for a second crack at the Joker...that's going to rule.

                                I cannot wait to see the Gothamverse version of Azrael, a character I never thought we would see a live-action version.
