GOTHAM Featurette Focuses On 'Renee Montoya', 'Crispus Allen' And The "Major Crimes Unit"

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.

@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.

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.

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.

If we tolerate marvel fanboys we can tolerate anything.

Damn it! You just ruined Gone Girl for me. Your a prick!!

Uh oh. Somebody got banned.

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

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.

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.
