This season is obviously about the rise of Penguin, do you guys think each consequent season will see the rise of another villain? Hopefully after each season they do a timeskip.

I do like the show, but I also admit I'm not sure what the plan is to fill the next few years, due to the age issue. We can see some guy named Matt Hagen commit some crimes and get a big "wink" when he falls into a pit of clay or something, but at least half of the villains need to be Bruce's age, and there's only so much trouble they can get into...
Bruce is a main cast member, part of all thw marketing for the show. Kid Bruce is part of this show's pitch. Doing a timeskip, casting adult Bruce back from Batman training ready to start his crusade by the second season is an open admission of complete failure of the shows premise if you ask me.
I am not saying cast adult Bruce immediately, by time skip I mean a year or so after each season has finished, I just feel the villains are too old ie. Falcone.
I am very curious too see how they handle this.

Then what did you mean by recasting Bruce? I really don't see why we need a seperate actor for 14-15ish Bruce. And if he is on training abroad then he shouldn't on the show at all. Otherwise he's gonna inevitably be keeping contact with Gordon during his intense martial arts training at which point yeah, gordon should really, really know Bruce is Batman

Episode 6 "Spirit of the Goat" was decent. Nice to see Dan Hedaya show up as Detective Dix. I find this version of Edward Nigma to be slightly annoying. The Penguin scenes were pretty weak and uneventful. The ending was great though.

I enjoyed the conversation between Cobblepot and his mom from tonight's episode. By the way, Spirit of the Goat= Court of Owls?????
