You know what would make this show about Batman better? Or even watchable?


BATMAN


HAVING BATMAN ON A BATMAN SHOW WOULD MAKE IT BETTER.

[Sad Superman]

Come on, guys.

That's a plot line a sketch show would use as an easy joke.

[RichSummers]

We get to see Dick Grayson conceived. lol.

[Vakanai]

Not-yet-Batman and Robin the Fetus Wonder!

[doodledude]

Wow a Robin fetus no wonder the show is shit.The showrunner actually thinks this would make an interesting episode.Top down now we know.

[Joker]

I can't wait to see how Robin's parents got together.

[Radix]

It's not a batman show, it's a Gotham show.
Also I think we are going to focus on how Grayson's parents meet and fall in love.

[RobertoDaCosta]

I can't wait to see how many dick jokes they can get in there..

[Joker]

Were the Graysons even from Gotham?

[Blind Otto]

You know, people do understand that Batman has fans. Really. The combined income of the past couple of decades movies, as well as the fact that the comics are still going, and have been since the 1930's, isn't being ignored. But this isn't a Batman show. MAYBE, just maybe, if it keeps going as long as Smallville did, you might get a hint of Batman. But the on going "we hate it because there is no Batman" song is really lame. You may as well hate on Big Bang Theory because Albert Einstein isn't a regular. Why not try to enjoy the show for what it is, instead of some other show that doesn't exist yet? I hear that less self-imposed stress helps some folks to live longer.

I think we will see the eventual parents of Dick Grayson and how they met. But Barbara Gordon should be born before Dick Grayson.

[A_Nominus]

The showrunner promises that now that the show has settled in, new character reveals will come at a much less rapid rate. This will perhaps be most apparent when it comes to the Joker; instead of revealing the character outright, Heller reiterated the show's plans on teasing the audience with many different Joker candidates before having one of them don the terrifying clown makeup.

Fish Mooney will have a sex change, calling it now.

If this was actually a show about Batman you would be correct. It's not a Batman show and was never intended to be. Notice how it's called "Gotham" and not "Batman"?

[Crimson Knight]

I think we will see the eventual parents of Dick Grayson and how they met. But Barbara Gordon should be born before Dick Grayson.

Any reason you feel that way? Wouldn't mind her being a year or two older, but nothing wrong being born same year, or Dick before her.

And, just wouldn't feel right if Jim and Barbara, at the moment...
