Gotham PD tv series - Page 5

So I watched the trailer, and what struck me was the tone of the trailer made it seem that it was alluding to Bruce becoming Batman in the near future (which won't happen)

Anyone else feel the same way?

So in a strange twist they've cast Penguin's mother!

Gertrude Cobblepot will be played by Carol Kane. I remember her from "Taxi"!

I've seen previews for this show and it looks interesting for sure though I'm not sure how long it'll last. I'm not sure if I'll watch it or not as it's on at the same time I'm usually watching wrestling, but if I can, I'll take a look at it.

Heads up Canadians. The show will air on CTV and here's a brand new trailer from CTV!

At 2 min long this one focuses on the Wayne Murders (boy that kid can scream!) and some of the villains (Penguin hates being called Penguin...alrighty then!)

That's canon. Bullies used to pick on Oswald as a kid and call him that because he was chubby and always wore a tuxedo. Once he got older and became a vicious thug/criminal as an adult, he just kinda decided to "own" it.

Neat/obscure thing for the show to work in. That's promising.

So the first live-action Batman TV show since the 60's one is a show with a 10 year old Bruce Wayne. This is what they come up with in the 50 year gap between the 60's show ending till now.

Yeaah. I reeaaally hope this show gets canceled after one season.

Ugh, you.

There's been so many batman movies and cartoons, there's no room for a live action batman tv show, as it would look like crap next to the movies. This isn't a batman tv show. This is a new show, that takes place in Batmans realm, about people becoming what we know them as. It's is not a batman show because batman will not be in it Til the ending.

I'unno, I think a Batman show could work if they were clever about it. They'll do one one day, and he'll probably be more a detective than a super-hero. He'll investigate a case and then beat up the bad guys in the last ten minutes.

But I agree, judging this as a Batman show isn't fair because it's not even trying to be that. As long as they get the characters right it can be pretty good.

That would be the distinction between this show and Smallville, which got most of the characters entirely wrong but looked very pretty long enough to trick people into sitting through ten seasons of it. I doubt this will last anywhere near as long, but it'll kill some time between Batman movies and keep the mythology fresh in people's minds.

Ok now tell me why this show is called "Gotham" again?? They should just rename it "Arkham". Apparantly season 1 will be focusing mostly on 2 things: The origins of Arkham Assylum and Penguin's backstory.

Also, Hugo Strange and Harvey Dent will be in it. Only Harvey is more closer in age to Jim Gordon. WTF?!

Oh and Poison Ivy's name is now explained. She's an orphan so her name will change from Ivy Pepper to Pamela Isley as the show goes on.

Ivy Pepper...ohh my brain hurts with the overwhelming sensation of stupid....

*BubblyShell22* · 07-21-2014, 07:44 AM

Yeah, Ivy Pepper does sound stupid. I think it would be better to call her Pamela Ivy.

Heck, Lilly Ivey would suffice.

*CyberCubed* · 07-21-2014, 08:27 AM

It bothers me that in this show Batman's rogues gallery is a good 15-20 years older than he is. Makes no sense at all.

So when Bruce finally becomes Batman...all his rogues will be in their 40's. lol.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-21-2014, 08:54 AM

Yeah, it already is sounding like they're making a lot of the same mistakes they made with Smallville.
