Before there was Batman, there was GOTHAM. Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world’s greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon’s story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker? GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told.
 



There's also some great new behind the scenes footage in the second video, while the first mostly resuses some familiar scenes from Gotham between the praise heaped upon it by critics so far.

If Gotham is supposed to be part of a long term plan to make a batman series then it makes sense.

Otherwise, I have no reason to see it.

Someone on the internet suggested that the producers shouldn't have killed the Waynes because no media has fully explored their personalities with Bruce.

Just like Smallville did The Kents with Clark before they were gone.

I just don't know who the audience is.....the geeks won't watch it because it's 'sacrilege', mainstream audience won't watch it because it doesn't feed their superhero fix, crime-fiction fans won't watch it because it's not 'The Wire' or 'NCIS'.

Who is watching this????!!!!!!!

@earthtoolu91 I think the only one who's not watching it is you. And truthfully, if you did watch you'd change your mind. Its actually really good so far snd nothing close to sacrilege.
@batmaniac thats really cool to hear you say, cause alot of people here just dig into the trenches of their opinion and never admit they may have been off. Good on you mate.

I thought this show would be corny and a waste of time. I just watches the first two episodes last night and I'm loving it so far. Way better than I expected.

It's not great show but far from a bad one.
It's fairly predictable so the only surprise & interesting bit for me is Det.Renee Montoya & the future Mrs.Barbara Gordon's lesbian relationship. Need flashback scenes of when they were "involved".
Heh-heh..proud pervert right here people.

Big supporter of this show. I find the contrast between Bullock and Gordon intriguing. With colorful characters like the Penguin and Fish Mooney, I sometimes forget Batman should be the central character (traditionally).

So when will Bruce become Batman in this show?

Loving this show so far. I would love it even more if Renee Montoya got into a scissor fight with Barbara.

Gherkinjerkin you should really not spoil the ending to new films. It's the trademark of a severe douche.

Why they didn't just do a Gotham Central show I'll never understand. Then they could feature any non-Batman Batcharacter they wanted without having to bend over backward and tie the timeline in knots.

At least Batman will have an easy ride in this adoption fighting geriatrics later in his career. For all the worry now that people are rejecting it, you would think they would have seen this coming months ago when many fans mentioned the problems we have now. It should be batman: Year one, not GCPD: Special Crimes Unit (15 years before Batman, but we have a lot of his villains, 15 years before you became interested).

I'm gonna see Gone Girl multiple times just to spite GherkinJerkin. I was originally just gonna watch it once.

You know what, screw it. I'm just going to let this show do all the Gordon focused characters early, maybe even handle the Batman villains early because we wanna see Gordon develop.

Right? RIGHT?

It took Smallville until season 4 to get as lazy and stupid as Gotham has done from the first episode. Instead of writers doing their job and creating characters that existed before Batman, they've gone the Smallville route of "Lets just contrive a show that has everyone in the current Batman world connected or cameoed one way or the other even before he existed".

Allen and Montoya should be toddlers or in diapers and Bullock should be a beat cop in uniform. Even in Batman's first years in costume Bullock hadn't made detective and Catwoman only got the idea to start stealing and climbing roofs after seeing him in costume when she was old enough to quit prostitution. Real writers create, lazy ones produce this kind of fanzine level stuff because they think they're being clever treating scriptwriting like a game of dot-to-dots.

Gotham is pretty cool so far. But my only issues are Barbara Gordon, who's a complete bimbo, and... Rene Montoya, a character I absolutely loved, from the animated series.
The actress playing her is pretty weak compared to Mooney, Gordon and Bullock. Even little kid Bruce is more riveting than her. Hope she gets more comfortable with the character soon.

I have a sick, burgeoning love/hate relationship with this series.

Gotham, to me, is one of those shows that's kinda becoming fun to watch because it's, well, objectively terrible. I hate it on a number of levels (how absurd the whole concept is, the awkward tonal clash between campiness and grittiness, and the screwing over of continuity-- not to mention the fact that they made Harvey Bullock WAY too goddamn corrupt)... but the performances are entertaining, and the horrible, ham-fisted writing has made the show unintentionally hilarious.

Not to mention that one glorious, amazing moment in the pilot when Oswald Cobblepot murders a fisherman for no real reason, and then, to an inexplicably thunderous orchestral sting, grabs the guy's sandwich and crams it into his mouth before wandering off. I mean... WOW. I don't even know if I'd want to see the series shape up, because absurd moments like that are what keep me coming back to the show...

Frankly, Gotham is just serving to tide me over until Arrow and the Flash premiere. I'll probably keep watching it-- it's not THAT offensively bad (yet), and there's something cool about having a comic-based T.V. show to watch almost every day of the week. Its Monday time slot makes Gotham a perfect appetizer to a week loaded with awesome.

But it's not a GOOD show. Not by a long shot. I'd say it's a guilty pleasure.
