This show just seems wrong. 10 year old Bruce Wayne and all the villains are double his age except for Catwoman?

*ZariusTwo* · 05-06-2014, 06:27 AM

The vibe I get routinely from this, from my own perspective and a gradual consensus on other forums, is fan trailer. I'll keep an open mind regardless though.

I always assumed the villains like Penguin and Riddler were a few years older than bruce. I think Ten is appropriate, but Poison ivy should be about the same age as bruce.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-06-2014, 01:17 PM

Poison Ivy (who's name is now Ivy Pepper...ugh) looks to be about 8 or 9. So she's at least somewhat close in age to Bruce. Bette Kane (original Batgirl) is also in the series apparantly...but she's in her mid 20's! The heck?!

Riddler is usually around the same age as Batman. Penguin is older a bit.

I smell the familliar stench of 'Elseworlds' about this.

*TurtleTitan97* · 05-06-2014, 06:01 PM

Thought the trailer was alright. I'll check out the first episode when it comes.

I was interested in this show until they announced it'd also have a 10 year old Bruce, that makes no sense and does kind of ruin the show for me. With that said the trailer did seem oddly promising and I liked the villain cast choices, this would've been much better without Bruce or having a teenage/early 20's Bruce who'd show up from time to time if they really wanted Bruce.

Thats how it keeps coming across to me as well, but there have been better fan films put together on youtube then this.

Show looks interesting, but I'm more intrigued on how it will evolve. It kind of feels like there shoe horning all these bat villains in to get people to watch.

Check out this cast photo for Gotham: From left to right Penguin, Fish Mooney, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Harvey Bullock, Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Alfred, and Selina Kyle/Catwoman (she's above Bruce and Alfred).

Spoiler:

I still can't wrap my mind around a Batman show with no Batman. I don't see how this concept can extend beyond a single season.

*sdp* · 05-09-2014, 10:24 PM

Haha, the trailer does feel like a fan film but like one of those fan films that you want to see more of, like that "Grayson" fan film even though it's not the version you want for that character.

You can have a show without Batman set in his universe which is what this show is trying to be, but didn't probably felt like it wasn't good enough to sell the series so now we have a 10 year old Bruce that ruins everything. It could've been a Gotham before Batman showed up, but a Gotham when Bruce is only a kid is a bit silly if you have his rogues running around. Maybe it can work for one season but if not it'll run into the problem that Smallville had where he met all his rogues before he was Superman, but at least he wasn't 10...

*Raph's Girl* · 05-12-2014, 01:39 AM

Ok the cast has now grown larger! Renee Montoya is now confirmed and has been promoted to series regular. She will be played by Victoria Cartagena. Cory Michael Smith's Riddler has also been promoted to series regular. And in an interesting twist....another new series regular is Andrew Stewart Jones as Crispus Allen aka The Spectre! So um... while we're not getting a Batman series we are getting one featuring The Spectre....

*Raven* · 05-12-2014, 05:46 PM

The Spectre? Really?

Or are they just doing Crispus Allen and no Spectre? their most likely doing some kind of build up, I don't see them having the spectre this soon. Possible none at all.

Having Renee is a plus, I've always loved her character especially from the animated series. I wouldn't be against them adapting some of the stories from Gotham.

*Raph's Girl* · 05-12-2014, 05:49 PM

FOX released their fall schedule today. Gotham will air monday nights at 8pm.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 05-13-2014, 03:51 AM

What I wan is a series very similar to Batman: The Animated series, but in live action.

I know, it's stupid.

*sdp* · 05-13-2014, 10:11 PM

I'd be 100% on board if we didn't have 10 year old Bruce, if we could assume he's already training and this is a few years before Batman appears it'd be great, but him still being a kid messes things up if his rouges are showing up every week. Hell wouldn't it prove that the city doesn't need Batman if the police can take care of the problems?

This does seem like another Birds of Prey, a Batman show without Batman. I enjoyed it for what it was but oh well.

*Zulithe* · 05-13-2014, 10:17 PM

It may not be a "batman" live action show but it's one step closer.

they have done really well with Arrow. And I'm more excited about The Flash than Arrow. I really think a show ABOUT Batman could work using the same formula and we very well could see it in our lifetimes so I'm not in a hurry

i'm just going to enjoy this for what it is.
