I hated having to shut my cable off to save around $170 a month, but glad I'm able to buy these for about a dollar or so a week. I sort of looked ahead at the upcoming episode titles and have to say that by the sound of things, it's shaping up to be an intense first half of the season. I'd like to think I wouldn't have spoiled the episodes for myself if they'd given synopses.

I've always liked the Gotham PD, so it's great being able to explore that relationship between Gordon and Bullock here. It's Batman related, so I think I'm officially hooked. They just better have it up on amazon instant vid or iTunes every week soon after each episode airs, or I'll be sad.

Get the fox app. It requires no sign in and you can watch episodes up to 40 days after they air.

Watched second episode today. Wasn't too shabby.

I like the show so far, I like the actors, especially the guys playing Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock and Oswald Cobblepot. However, I have a few issues.

I can't get used to Jada Pinkett-Smith's accent. I also think it was a wasted opportunity to kill off the Waynes in the first episode. I mean, Bruce Wayne's going to be a kid for the entire show, so why not save the desth of his parents for the season finale, when we've gotten time to know them. But my biggest problem with the first two episodes is the lack of subtlety with the easter eggs, like they call Selina Kyle "Cat" because she'll become Catwoman, or they called that girl "Ivy" instead of calling her Pam or Lily.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Selina telling everyone to call her cat and it's like they had to name the girl Ivy so people would know that's who it's supposed to be. That's not even Poison Ivy's real name.



I don't think I caught a Joker reference in this one.

No it isn't anything like that. It's a really good show that's very well-written for how it is. You can tell the writers respect the franchise and want to do all they can to stay true to it. I loved how Bruce was testing himself and trying to let go of his fear. Alfred was a bit harsh, but I can see why he would be because he cares about Bruce and doesn't want any harm to come to him. I love how Jim is sort of a mentor to Bruce and hope to see more of them later.

I like Selina's nickname and think she's a pretty intriguing character. Can't wait to see more with her. Same goes for Fish Moony.

I think this show's version of Selina Kyle is definitely on of my favorite things about the show. The show has its rough edges that could be smoothen out, but other than that it's (so far) better that I expected it to be.

Calls herself Cat.
Is seen with a cat in the first episode
Wears black, like a cat
Likes to claw at things


G-guys, I think she may be Catwoman.

Really? I had no idea. They probably did that though for people who may not be familiar with the Batman franchise or for people who are only vaguely aware of it. Hardcore fans will know immediately that she's Catwoman because they know that Selina Kyle is her original name while others may not know that. I do like her in this though and think she's pretty neat.

I was just joking. It was pretty obvious she was Catwoman.

Spoiler:
Bullock backed into another cop who called him a clown.
Also I face palmed when Jim exclaimed "Freeze!" and that lady told the goon "Hush..."

Oh and the bad guy this week that was wanting those kids was Dollmaker. We last saw him making rounds in "Arrow". And speaking of Arrow for like 2 seconds a Queen Industries (or whatever the company is called) building was seen! So now will a young Ollie pop up (since the show is supposed to be in the past)??

There's also a preview that shows some upcoming stuff. One of the villains popping up is fricken Professor Pyg!! Like WTH?!

U can see Pyg at the 1:58 mark...right before Victor Zsasz pop up... yeah he's in the show too.

If it was up to me, Selina would be carrying a cat, hissing at people, and making cat puns.

Yeah, I know. I do agree that they could be a bit more subtle about it, but that's the way they want to do it for the people who may not know much about Batman, so I get that.

Nicholas D'Agosto has been cast as Harvey Dent.... At the rate this show is going most of Bruce's enemies will be 40 - 60 by the time he becomes Batman. Seriously Nicolas is 34!

He's described as

"a bright, charming, idealistic Assistant District Attorney whose sole mission is to eradicate the crime and corruption that has poisoned Gotham."

So now we've got Harvey Bullock and now Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two Face. Interesting. I do also hope there's a time jump sometime down the line, or this is going to be weird. The writes did say that eventually he would put on the cape and become Batman by the end, so it makes sense that there would have to be a time jump.

Just can't get into this show. I have no desire to see Batman's rogues without Batman.

I really really really hate the idea of the Joker showing up on this show when Bruce is only a kid. Makes no sense.

The Fish Mooney character is easily the worst. Such terrible acting. This show is so campy but they don't realize it and think they're being serious.
