I was very pleasantly surprised.
Yeah. The two that made me roll my eyes were the Riddler and particularly Ivy. Little girl all decked out in a green stroking a plant. Ugh.
Totally minor grip though as I really enjoyed the whole show. All the character introductions packed into one episode just kinda came off like "Get it guys! It's Batman but not really!". It would've have seemed so forced if they would've spread these appearances out over a few episodes.
Last night's episode was even better than the first.
Penguin is a brutal psychopath.
We got more cop drama and less comics references. Introduced a really twisted villian from Batman that they've yet to explain or show.
Dollmaker is not you typical supervillain. He is more Silence of the Lambs than Batman and Robin which will work great for this show.
If they get multiple seasons I hope they jump ahead a few years in each one.
Gotham needs to just concentrate on Batman mobster rogue gallery.
- Penguin
- Roman Sionis - pre Black Mask
- Maxie Zeus - No powers
- Mob families Maroni and Falcone
- Dollmaker
- Professor Pyg
- Maybe Jervis Tetch, The Mad Hatter
- Victor Zsasz
- Calendar Man
- Deadshot
- Hugo Strange
- The
Ventriloquist
There are plenty of grounded Batman villians that are older and are really twisted.
We don't need to see:
Riddler
Joker
Killer Croc
Scarecrow
Bane
Man - Bat
Ras Al Ghul or Deathstroke as Arrow covers them.
Poison Ivy
Mr. Freeze
Clayface
Leave all.of them out of it please or the show will get dumb real fast.
Maybe have younger version cameo or be mentioned like Ivy but for the love of god ignore them after that for this show to work...
I know they are gonna fuck it up.
