Gotham - Page 6

I don't know. I like Fish Moony and feel she has potential. And who says Joker will show up when Bruce is a kid? They may save it for down the line and have a time jump. I hope so because it would be weird to go through the whole series with Bruce as just a kid. Have to admit that him "testing himself" was pretty creepy.

Who says? The show's creators have said so. We won't see him right up but rather hints. Like that comedian at the club.

Other characters confirmed (besides Ed Nygma, Cat, Ivy, and Penguin):
Harvey Dent (he was just cast)
Scarecrow (I THINK I saw him in a trailer I posted)
Victor Zsazs (seen in a recent trailor)
Prof. Pyg (seen in same trailor as above)
Freeze
Hugo Strange

I read earlier that there actually won't be a nod to the Joker in every episode.

*shuriken* · 10-04-2014, 09:41 PM

It might be more interesting WITHOUT a lot of the Batman's Rogue gallery. Maybe have just a handful of em. Focus on the Gotham of old, with Falcone, Maroni, Fish Mooney (I dunno, more gangster villains...). I haven't seen it, but It doesn't really pique my interest.

Anyone watch last nights episode? This show is shaping up to be awesome.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 10-07-2014, 03:23 PM

I did, and wasn't impressed. I've grown to loathe Fish Mooney. Her acting feels forced and unnatural, and her dialogue sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. I hope she gets killed off or something, but she probably won't.

I wasn't pleased with the lesbian affair thing (I assume that's what it was?) between Barbara and Montoya being shoehorned in. Is that some arbitrary way of trying to force more friction between Gordon and the Major Crimes Unit? Is there a reason I should even care?

I was also a little taken aback when that dead body killed some old lady. Good God. If you want your show to be realistic, you can achieve that without killing old ladies at random.

I did love Cobblepot though. He is great. He is the only reason I continue to watch this show. He is the one good thing about it so far.

Barbara and Montoya were college sweethearts. It was not shoehorned in as it was established in the first episode.

Huh. Must have missed that.

Cobblepot is the best part of the show.

Nooo i'm falling behind, I need to watch episode 3 today

I am still in the "give it time" phase but I don't dislike the show so far.

It's better then the past two episodes.

*CyberCubed* · 10-07-2014, 04:37 PM

There are lesbians in this show? Seems like a cheap plot to get people to watch.

Also how the hell can Barbara be in College when Bruce is 10?

You're a ****ing moron. Go read Gotham Central. And never come back.

And wrong Barbara.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 10-07-2014, 04:58 PM

Um, Cubed? Wrong Barbara. This is Batgirl's MOM. Geez, TRY to keep up, will you? And they're referring to her past, not what's "current" in the show itself. Apparently, she had a fling with Montoya in college.

I love this show so far, though I've missed a few of the more obscure references, like Grundy and Queen. I like Moony and Penguin so far, their power struggle and his grudge against her are really interesting. Selena is turning into my favorite character so far, and I like that she's not much older than Bruce (13). Nygma's brief appearances are fun and just enough to hint at who he will be later, and I can't wait to see what they do with "Ivy", if anything. Maybe she is just a one-off here, but I doubt it.

I'll have to wait until Friday to catch the repeat of this week's ep, since I was working when it aired last night, but I'm really enjoying this show. The only thing I don't really care for is Alfred. He seems too strict and hard on Bruce, and for some reason his accent is all wrong. Alfred has always used the "Queen's English" used in British "polite society", but this Alfred sounds more like the "gutter English" of common blue-collar Londoners. It's jarring.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-07-2014, 05:19 PM

Yeah, I agree about Alfred being too harsh with Bruce, but it's understandable given that he's the boy's guardian now. I like how Bruce hints that he wants to help and how that will play into how he becomes Batman later. Also liked The Balloon Man, and am also really liking Cobblepot and his character. Definitely someone who's got a grudge and plays it well. And I also like Selina, too. She's a sneaky one.

*snake* · 10-07-2014, 06:15 PM

I think Alfred has been acting way too british in this show.

Haha maybe that's what it is!

I liked the episode, looking forward to next because of the ending though. Was wondering when Penguin would get him a suit.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-08-2014, 09:18 AM

He gets a suit? Never noticed that, but I'm stoked to see where this goes.

Penguins eat fish. Just sayin'.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-08-2014, 05:21 PM

Yeah, I have a feeling Moony may eventually get killed off by Penguin, and it would make sense, too.
