I think what was interesting to me was how they showed the pressure on the GCPD to arrest someone for the Wayne's murder. I haven't read all 900 issues of Batman but I don't think anyone's thought to explore what they and the city went through having that drag out. How the police are tied in with the mob does lend credence to the belief that Batman and Commissioner Gordon will have a better city under them than they did before Batman.
They definitely jammed a lot of cameos in the pilot which I read they purposely "front loaded" it and will draw back on that in future episodes. All in all, it had a better pilot that Agents of Shield had and I ended up really liking AoS so this could go good too.
Well I hate to disappoint you but she's not a guest star and I thought we all knew that.
The actress is one year older than the actor who plays Bruce. One. That age girls mature before boys on average so she may seem a bit older but it's one year.
Yeah, they established the aw enforcement and the mafia are connected, it makes sense for the top guys to know each other. That's their world.
Drunk driver killed his dad, he became a cop for vengeance. Not that hard to see they're mirroring Batman with the guy who ends up being Batman's confidant.
Ok, so you're just here to prove your loyalty to Arrow by bashing Gotham. Never mind.
In the comics? Anything goes for Joker's age since we don't know much about him for real. In previous incarnations the Joker has been played by actors older than Batman like Cesar Romero was 19 years older than Adam West and Jack Nicholson is 13 years older than Michael Keaton if my math is correct.
