Gotham - FOX TV Show Discussion

[Tupiaz]

Thanks Tupiaz

You are welcome.

spoilers:

Well, obviously the kidnapper IS gonna come for Bruce which should be loads of fun but really Bruce is rght. I don't think Alfred would be able to withdraw millions to pay the ransom, and the shadowy and enigmatic shareholders of Wayne Enterprises ain't gonna care.

end of spoilers

That could be a huge backfire at the company if they didn't.

Game of Thrones is **** once you strip away the fantasy nerd hype and HBO hype structure.

Game of Thones is **** once you strip away the fantasy nerd hype, HBO hype structure, the plot, the production values, the cast, the directing and the writing and you put **** instead.

The source material and their budget is amazing. The original content can be pretty hit and miss. More hits then misses but they've made plenty dumb mistakes.

I would say, if GOT is Van Gough, Gotham is Jim Lee. Both are good in different aspects.

No Jim Lee would be Arrow action and great looking cast members.Gotham would still be stick figures by a child.

Heh. Too bad for you the show will be on for quite a few years.

No the show is pretty terrible even if you keep its sorry excuse of a plot.

Grant Morrison and Frank Miller's work probally inform my view of Batman Mike W Barr's Batman from the eighties along with the Outsiders I really love.I really like Snyder's take also I really feel like he get's Batman.Dennis O'neil old stuff from the seventies.It just all swirls together informing how I see Batman.

I almost forgot this thread, my apologies.

The writers you mention did not write child Bruce starting to train his body after his parents were murdered. That came later on. What the show is doing (quality of the show opinion aside, I am only adressing this plot hook) is on point with most origin retellings: Bruce as a child accepting his grief and slowly honing the direction of his life. That means, first - as usual, honing his mind.

He`s not going to go full ninja training until he "sees" the path he is willing to take. It`s the same thing with anyone else. You can`t just start training on anything seriously, without making up your mind about it and set a plan of training.

Not a lot of information but some words with the wardrobe designer, Lisa Padovani.

The torrents do not seem to be very popular.Walking dead and Arrow and Doctor Who have like 20 thousand seeders the nights they premiere a new episode.Gotham does'nt have the same level af seeders as Agents of Shield on premiere nights.Gotham only get's around 4 0r 5 thousand seeders on premiere nights.It's not that popular a show.It could only go one season friend.

There has not been that much written about Bruce's childhood by any Batman writer.One thing is true by most though that Bruce has a genius level intellect.You do not develop that you are born with it.To become a master martial artist takes a lifetime.A master not a good martial artist a master.I don't think you get that.How long did Bruce Lee train himself to become a master?His whole life from childhood.By 12 or 13 Bruce should be training to get to that level.

What are you talking about? Gotham is one of the top 25 programs at the moment. If it stays that way for the remainder of the season, that will be better than Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and much, much better than Arrow.

We'll see him improve his self-defense in this season at some point I'm sure. Selina will start helping him in arts of urban gymnastics and not fighting fair at some point as well. Having Bruce take up karate by the 5th episode really wouldn't help make his development organic tho.

This video is pretty interesting if you're a fan of the show. I didn't know much outside of the show.

I've never heard of online piracy as a gauge of popularity. Interesting concept.

Since someone has to download (presumably to view) in order to become a seeder, isn't it also possible that these shows are SO popular that everyone is watching them live rather than needing to download them?
