Gotham - FOX TV Show Discussion

[CapeandCowl]

Oh definitely friend. I think the Joker has been done to death, so I hope Gotham brings in the rest of the rogues gallery and gives us some decent characterisation.

[Nick Miller]

I guess you guys may know, but i just found out Montoya and Allen feature prominently. YES

[CapeandCowl]

Sounds promising. What about Harvey Bullock? Seriously though, I am looking forward to this as I feel something has been missing in my Bat appreciation of late.
I can only watch the films so many times and I dont even like all of them but I have given even the least favorite on my list two viewings. This could be a nice companion piece to Batman Begins, what with the flashback to little Bruce and him being in the new series or at least that is what some of the commercial ads are implying.

[Nick Miller]

Its not a flashback, capeandcowl. Thats where the series starts, at the Wayne Murders

Yes, I know friend, I meant the scenes of him in the ads reminded me of the flashbacks in Batman Begins.
What are you most looking forward to in the new series?

Everything, really. This is like a dream come true. Finally, a live action Batman series.

I wonder how Bruce and Selina will interact. It looks like she saw the murders. As shown on the Fox preview show tonight.

Really looking forward to all the little easter eggs that i am sure will pop up.

Their late intro in the promos is what finally drew my attention to the show.
Although From the preview it's definitely a different take on the characters, they seem to be more antagonistic, and not working with Gordon. And now they are the vets while Gordon is the rookie, and in a different unit - "Major Crimes Unit.
Not sure how sympathetic or likable they will be.
They could end up as allies, and regulars. Or they may be there just to get killed. Just character stepping stones to show Gordon's is the right direction...LOL, we will see.


What I'd love to see if it's successful, is Montoya and Allen adopting their own new hero id's and spun off into their own or crossed over into Constantine.

[PretenderNX01]

I wouldn't think they'd kill off Montoya since she isn't dead in any comics but Allen has in the past been The Spectre but I doubt they'd do that in Gotham (unless they plan to kill him in Gotham and resurrect him in Constantine)

Netflix has already purchased the right to have this season of Gotham available to it's subscribers in 2015 after it's broadcast

Nice influx of cash and maybe another sign they are committed to getting it out to people.

Nothing Commissioner Gordon can't handle! Benjamin McKenzie made a trip to the hospital (and on his 36th birthday!) after he suffered an injury while taping his TV series Gotham in NYC on Friday, Sept. 12.

"Happy Birthday to me. Fight sequence gone awry. Don't ram your head into concrete pillars kids. #gotham," the actor captioned an Instagram picture of himself with a bandage on his forehead. "Holy concrete wall, Batman! #gotham," he added.

Looks like it was quite the gash there. The bandage photo is apparently a mirror feature pic as the cut is above his right eye.

I just did too! LOL

If GOTHAM's 1st episode and season are good enough, they can totally go the SMALLVILLE route and take us through every single step-by-agonizing-step from Bruce Wayne orphan all the way to Batman's 1st official mission. Seriously, I don't need no stinkin' time jump. I can wait 10 seasons for a 23-year-old Caped Crusader's debut if the show is good enough.
