Fox - Gotham (Pre Batman)
This can't possibly go wrong or be prematurely cancelled...
Batman Prequel 'Gotham' Headed to Fox Quote:
Honestly, I would much rather somebody made a Downton-esque show about Alfred taking care of an orphaned Bruce, and raising him to have a strong moral compass and compassion for the poor and weak. |

I didn't think that was bad at all. End was overkill but that's promotions these days.

This will be a hit with people who are already fans of the DC Comics Universe, and of the characters. Otherwise . . .
- It's Batman without Batman. - Or Joker, or Robin. - There will be zero suspense about who lives and who dies. We know they all live. - Except for Donal Logue, of course, who can't catch a break. I have no idea who his character is and I'm already sure he's marked for death at some point. - Alfred is being played as ex-special forces, by the guy from Dog Soldiers. - In the superhero genre, people want to see superpowers. - It has Star Wars Episode One problems; that is, all the characters we thought were cool, except as children, which means they're not cool. - It's network TV. - Even moreso, it's on FOX. Who knows what they're thinking. I give it two seasons. It will debut to relatively-big numbers, and they'll quickly renew. It will lag at the last half of season one, then by season two it will be Dead Show Walking. |

I've heard a lot of comic book fans complaining about a lot regarding Batman over the years. They complain when things aren't "true to the comic". They're reeruned though. I'm sure they'd be ok with Alfred getting killed by a boulder, brought back to life by a scientist, gaining telekinetic powers, and wanting to kill Batman & Robin. I mean, it happened in the comics right? Can't stray from it. Not to mention all the other absurdly ridiculous things that have happened in the comics, including things that have been retconned. Alfred's backstory alone has changed about 1 million times.

So is this a prequel to Nolans Batman movies? Or just Batman in general?

Only thing that looked off to me was the dude in the executioner's getup with the butcher knife. Otherwise looks pretty good to me.

Early word on the pilot has been positive. Like "best pilot of the new season" positive. |
