"Gotham" (Fox TV)

I hope the young Bruce Wayne actor starts working out.....Wayne was focused like a laser into becoming what he needed to be to fight the bad guys....

Im sure eventually you will get your wish.remember alfred was parring with him once in boxing.Its just the second season and he is young.

Is this going to be "Smallville" for Batman?

Ugh.

I don't think it is. From what I've read this focuses more on Jim Gordon, with Wayne and the villains playing secondary roles.

Plus, it's not on the WB/UPN/CW.

yeah the other difference in it as well is its not made for a family viewing audience.some of the shows for smallville were not either but that was only once in a while,this show is indeed very gothic.

Well, I watched last night's episode and, as usual, the ending left me hanging.

Is Penguin going to do a job on Galavan? He's sure going to try?

At what point will Jim and the new captain catch on to how dangerous Galavan is?

And I'm betting Future Cat Woman is going to somehow save Bruce from being taken.

Harley Quinn Overtones

Maybe this season is professedly focusing on 'Rise of the Villains' storylines, since right now in America, there seems to be a cultural tone of general mischief-related traffic intrigue (i.e., Internet hackers, celebrity gossip, illegal immigration politics jokes, etc.).

Mischief is really interesting, from an ethics standpoint, since you can't directly prosecute it, since of course, it's not necessarily tied to malice or murder. That's what the Batman (DC Comics) character Harley Quinn is all about, a trickster sidekick of the nefarious Joker who represents mischief pizazz.

I'd be interested to see how much more artistic Season 2 becomes. You know, mischief is a social criticism theme in art that highlights 'high-brow vigilantism.'

Wayne Enterprises: Gotham Gumball


Ya know, "Gotham" (Fox TV) has me thinking about social etiquette in our modern age of urban paranoia (i.e., Los Angeles race riots).

Bruce Wayne is the ideal American prince, an inheritor and an ambitious and prominent socialite-businessman. Batman is the ideal vigilante, a masked ninja tackling the criminally insane.

We need unspoken speakeasy dream-trader clubs, a sort of virtual Wayne Enterprises. That's what really gives Scarecrow and Joker a run for their money. It's all about money, and the atmospherics on "Gotham" (Fox TV) speak to this. I hope Robin Lord Taylor gets his due accolades for his work on this fun program.

So grab a cider, a beer, or a non-alcoholic pina colada, and suppose that Wayne Enterprises really is capitalism perfection.

I'll be following what young Bruce Wayne does to develop his fancy interests in Wayne Enterprises on "Gotham" (Fox TV).

Pardon the interruption, but Camren Bicondova (the future "CatWoman") is walking, talking, kiddie-porn. Even with all her clothes on.

Sorry.

Nygma-Kringle Jab


What did everyone think about the developing Nygma-Kringle relationship?

I thought this was going to be the main script lever for Nygma's evolution into the Riddler.

This is the human-face of "Gotham" (Fox TV), so we'll have a more fun time skipping over (DGS49)...the Selina ballet.

I don't know where you get this - he strangled her to death!!! That's his "transition" to being the psycho Riddler.

Yeah...I didn't get his posts either.

The Iceman Cometh!


Yes, yes. I simply referred to the Kringle-Nygma relationship for irony purposes. It can be argued that the Riddler is Batman's strangest nemesis.

Enough with Nygma for now though, the first images of Mr. Freeze on "Gotham" (Fox TV) look pretty...cool.

It is interesting to see the similarities between that image and the Captain Cold character from the show The Flash.......

Season 3: All Good Things


Yes, 2aguy, the similarities are very conspicuous. Maybe they're experimenting with Freeze's look on "Gotham" (Fox TV). Why not? They've certainly built up enough ratings/critical credibility.

Well, the reports are surfacing that "Gotham" (Fox TV) has been renewed by Fox for Season 3, which makes this thread rather well-justified.

We were all a bit apprehensive about a pre-Batman show featuring Bruce Wayne as a caddy little boy while Jim Gordon was dealing with super-villains such as Penguin and Riddler coming to prominence. Isn't it funny that they made only Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Ivy Pepper (Poison Ivy) part of Bruce Wayne's age group? All the other characters are older, so we assume that the future Dark Knight will be tackling older and wiser super-villains donning the mantles of the Joker, etc.

Then again, Tim Burton's "Batman" [1989] also presented Michael Keaton's Dark Knight tackling Jack Nicholson's much older Joker.

Maybe criminal insanity is more intriguing when viewed through the lens of father-son patricide...hmmm...

Will Barbara Gordon become the proto-Harley Quinn? Will Jerome and 2-3 other goons don the mantle of the Joker-aura?

I won't be posting much more, so stay tuned fans and have fun. I'll most likely be perusing this thread as "Gotham" (Fox TV) continues its successes and watching for any Harley Quinn news. I'm sure someone's guessed by now that she's my favourite Gotham City freak.

Friends and Devils


The recent passing of the great iconic musicians David Bowie and Prince has me thinking about the honors afforded to their mourning surviving relatives and loved ones (i.e., spouses).

It was cool to see the developing gender nuances between Jerome and Barbara and Edward and Miss Kringle on "Gotham" (Fox TV), as odd as they were.

The Joker-Harley Quinn relationship is perhaps the most honoured in the halls of comic book super-villain duo archives.

Now that the show has been picked up for another season, let's see more of the Bruce-Selina friendship!

Ain't the soap opera grand?

They have to make the future Catwoman near his age because they are romantically linked......he has to be younger than the villains because punching people is a young mans game.


I just hope they start him on his path more directly...he really needs to start working out...........punching people takes some training...

Batman and Catwoman!

You must have missed the episode in which Galavan killed Jerome. Some of the characters who have been “killed” have been handled in such a manner as to allow a possibility that they aren't really dead quite yet, and may return; but Jerome was left pretty solidly, unmistakable dead. That seemed to me like a bit of a dirty trick on the show's part, building Jerome up and making it seem obvious that he was intended to become the Joker, and then killing him off. That episode did end with a scene that seems intended to imply that Jerome's death inspired several other random criminals on the street to emulate him, and the Joker is probably meant to come of one of them.

Black Mask: Urbanology Under-Writing

The Joker should be a symbolic voice on Gotham (Fox TV), but I also think the show could explore the classicist stylings of street-diplomacy comics (in the design of Bat-villains such as Black Mask).
