Greetings reader and thank you for clicking and reading my new editorial, in this article I the "Excellence of Editorials" DCGuy will explain in the simplest of ways how the hit TV show GOTHAM is probably the best thing about the Batman lore to come out in recent years.
So here we are, you have probably heard of the little FOX show which has recently started it's season 2, many on CBM.com have done nothing but complain, bitch and moan about Gotham and how its so bad for the Batman mythology with all of its liberties it takes with the source material and characters, the nay sayers rush to poop there doritos locos tacos feces all over the Batman show without batman faster than Josh rushing to a matches and ligthers sale, but hey it is ok with me, recently I have been lucky enough to gather some time and finish the first season of Gotham, the show started off ok in my opinion as I saw the first 8 to 10 episodes before I had to go join the military, now in my down time i have noticed that the show is beyond good, its GREAT. WHY? you ask as you huff and puff at the screen while picking up your pitchfork. easy, I shall explain.
GOTHAM highlights the reason of batmans continued existance in Gotham city, let us visit the source, Bruce wayne as we all know sees his parents killed infront of him, age and other factors vary on comic but one thing for sure the loss of his mom and pop is the sparking light that begins the fire in the young boys soul to BECOME BATMAN, but what GOTHAM gives us is something NO comic has ever given us, the REASON why BATMAN CONTINUES and that is how GOTHAM is making it mark, I wish for you to look up all the Bruce and ALFRED moments in the season, some will make you laugh, some cry, some think but all them show how Bruce grows to love Alfred like the father he lost and beyond, I believe that Alfred is the main tool for motivation Batman uses in his life BEFORE his Bat Family arrives.
Now there we have a valid point, Alfred has always been glue holding the Bat to the man, we see it in comics, games and more, but we never see the deserving amount of credit to Alfred, but I also mentioned the BAT FAMILY and before you go off and think of all the usual suspects like Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and the rest pictured below.
I want you to think to the first person outside of Alfred BATMAN trusts and that is JAMES GORDON the first member of the Bat family the ally on the streets for Batman, the only cop he trust and as the years go by we see him get more and more deep into the Batman mythos, now even being the bat, so before you even complain about the ages, the premise, the characters and the absurd reasons you claim Gotham does not work for you, think about the things that help the Batman mythos as a whole, think about the man under the mask and his future allies are the ones that stand by his side now.
I conclude with this as to why I love Gotham and encourage you to look at it as what it is, the story of Batman allies and how they build the city for the hero we will need and make the man we deserve, the villains may rise but they only create a shadow for the Batman to emerge from. That my readers is GOTHAM.
