GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion)

Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

was this shit worth watching?
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

The weak spot for me was "Baby" Selina. All that climbing/posing shit was just too much.

couldve just cast her in the Power Rangers reboot since that movie still happening :lol:

look like they going to start going overboard with the references in every episode.."Anyone tell you that when you walk,you look just like a penguin" etc..watch his response will be"Hmm..i like the sound of that.." :rolleyes:
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

if they do this right, it's 9 seasons easy.

easy

the story arcs are limitless. this is everyone's origin story and this is going to be exciting if they give this show the proper chance to develop into what it will become.

it's going to take 4 seasons just to set the stories straight if done correctly

by the end Gordon and Dent will have made their way and Bruce will be on track to become what he will become. All the other villains sans Ivy are older, so they'll have their seats in the criminal world.

The series finale could be him becoming batman. and ending with all of the people we watched over the years running their various rackets.

if they only give it a real chance to work...

Good show will continue to watch.

Things were a bit rushed too.

But overall..."A"!

All of this.

Downloaded. Will be watching tonight. Been waiting a while for this. :dance:
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

They need to write Bruce out early i think. This version of Alfred though. Greatest version ever. lol
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

it wasn't bad. its just shitty that all the tv dc universes aren't linked except for the flash and arrow.
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

Dude chill, it's like the first episode, which wasn't bad at all..

It's the fact that it's no where near canonical to the source material, and in this day and age it's not linked to any of the other DC properties or films that's coming out. Lets not act like a bar hasn't been set since 2008.


and i couldn't get past episode three of that bullshit.


Oh ok, you probably hate the walking dead and are one of the people who feels Sopranos was better than the Wire..

Exactly. I'm not doubting the writing or action will be bad atall. Could be top notch. I'm just not personally investing in any more stand alone/some director's interpretation of already established characters and storylines from DC.
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

I'm on the fence. It was good enough for me to watch Episode 3. I think people are stuck in the whole "Its Batman origins" storyline. You have to let it stand on its own. I think the shows downfall will be people who can't get the Batman movies or comics out of their head.

The show should be called "Gordon". Its about him and Bullock essentially. I like where its going. It would be nice if we're introduced to more Gotham characters.

ONly thing I will say is that i'm sure Selina is a love interest for Bruce but there's no point for her. Don't even bring that weak ass storyline into this shit. It will be like the cheerleader on Heroes. It will take down the show. You could literally take all her scenes out of the show and the show would've been the same. :lol:
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

Seeing everyone get their start is going to be awesome.

And the guy who plays Gordon is a great actor, he's proven to me he can handle all of this from his time on Southland.
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

The weak spot for me was "Baby" Selina. All that climbing/posing shit was just too much. Donal Logue as Bullock was a bit overkill too.

But everyone else was fine.
Especially Jada Pinkett and Robin Taylor. Both those actors KILLED IT!!!

Things were a bit rushed too.

But overall..."A"!

It kept me captivated to the point of wanting to see how far they will go with this series.

Yeah little Selina Kyle already acts like she is Catwoman. Its weird. And what fucking year is this show supposed to be set in? These motherfuckers got flip phones and CRT TVs so I guess its 1994?

im not mad at that, she had to learn it from somewhere, she didn't just wake up knowing how to do all the crazy shit she can do lol

I couldn't tell. Initially I thought it was like the 50's or some shit.....I mean why is a rich couple walking down the street like that? Its really hard to tell. But I guess the cell phones made it atleast the 90's but I assumed it was current day with the phones. The set looks really outdated like its the 50's or 60's.

It's just a dingy city man. The cars are updated kind of. Cell phones and such. It's probably the 90's the 90's seemed dirty to me as a kid...

shit could be!

nice to see some wire folks with some parts in the show. i laughed uncontrollably when Levy was the cop... Levy of all people

and then fucking Falcone :lol: bizzaro world
 
Re: GOTHAM - TV series about the cops & criminals before Batman! (Official Discussion

That comedian auditioning for Fish better not be The Joker. :hmm:

The only character they didn't reference by name, so I'm guessing it is.

I wonder if Jack Handy got paid for the joke they used. As for the character, the way he was acting seeing that brutality, I think he'll eventually become desensitized and become the model sociopath we and know and love him to be. As for the show, it ain't the greatest, but I'll give it a shot.

Yeah you could be right.....but why the 90's? Seems if you'd do the 90's it would be cheaper to just go current day no?

:lol: they confused as hell, I bet next week there will be some Twitter or Facebook rference

:lol: See and I know it will happen. They're going to fuck up and start referencing shit post 90's. :lol:

Well we're stuck trying to pick an era that fits what we do. Their shit is completely different. So things will look the same (like the cars and shit like that) BUT everything is different so I doubt we'll get references to stuff that happened on "our timeline" just theirs.

if you have seen the 21min preview the writers already said there is no specific era, they want a NY 70's kinda feel when the city was going wild with all the police corruption but still modern hence the cell phones and such, but the idea wasn't to just copy NY but to give Gotham it's own feel and look which is why the changes to some of the sky-line and landmarks were made.

i bet Bruce will have Alfred bail her out in the next episode :rolleyes::lol:

Everybody doesn't want shit to be based on Nolan's flawed Batman films (except Batman Begins). Don't get me started on that shit again.

The great thing I like about DC Comics is that they aren't afraid to write non-established or altered stories about their top characters. Some of my favorite Batman comics are the Elseworlds series. So basically if you can't open your mind to something DIFFERENTLY interpreted about Batman you won't like it? So why did you like those last Batman films so much? I can give you a list about all the shit they fucked up that was already established in the comics. Just saying...:dunno:

I agree Selina posing and hopping around was lame and there is some cheesy stuff around the edges other than that the acting was solid,im digging all of the personal connections of the characters and Jada is sexy.
