GOTHAM: Jim Gordon Finally Gets His Comic Book Mustache In These New Photos
A new batch of photos from the next episode of Gotham have been released and we see that Jim Gordon finally has his iconic mustache from the Batman comic books. However, there's something of a catch...
Love it or hate it, Gotham continues rolling on at Fox and it appears to moving further and further away from the comic books as it goes. However, fans may be glad to see that Jim Gordon finally has his mustache in this new batch of images from, "A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness." Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be a permanent addition because he only has it due to a costume party!
Episode thirteen is the midseason premiere of Gotham and while Jerome will be making an appearance, it was recently confirmed that he's not The Joker and the Clown Prince of Crime will appear down the line (but before the season is over). To take a look at what Ben McKenzie looks like with his comic book counterpart's iconic (?) facial hair, all you need to do is click through the gallery.
Ivy (guest star Peyton List) tracks a secret project on which Wayne Enterprises is working and begins to target anyone that can give her information. Meanwhile, Jerome (guest star Cameron Monaghan) becomes obsessed with Penguin in Arkham. Also, Gordon begins to second guess his deal with Sofia and an unsettling dream sequence shakes up Bruce in the all-new “A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness” episode of GOTHAM airing Thursday, March 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The cast of Gotham appears to be enjoying a costume party in Wayne Manor here and their outfits are unique to say the least! Selina Kyle looks strikingly similar to her comic book counterpart while Dr. Lesley Thompson's get up could be a very loose nod to the King Tut character.
Over the past couple of years, Gotham has been playing with imagery which makes the young Bruce Wayne look very much like The Batman (and no, I'm not referring to what was essentially a gimp suit when he suited up for the first time a while back). This is a cool shot but he still looks like a kid!
Well, Poison Ivy sure has grown up fast! She's now played by Peyton List, an actress comic book fans will be familiar with after she appeared in The Flash. It's not a bad bit of casting to be fair but it seems a shame to gloss over the character's childhood and jump to this version of the villain.
Maybe there's something I'm missing but I have no idea why Detective Harvey Bullock is walking around with a chicken here. Regardless, the character remains one of the best parts of Gotham and an argument could be made that his journey has sometimes been more interesting than Jim Gordon's!
Gotham has been just as much The Penguin's show as Bruce Wayne and his transformation into the villain from the comic books has played out in a very interesting way. Here, we see him looking an awful lot like the version from the source material but that's only because it's a costume party!
Young Bruce Wayne is growing up fast but if Gotham is planning on properly introducing the Dark Knight, Fox may want to consider recasting the role. Then again, if Disney's deal goes through to purchase the network, there's a very good chance that the DC Comics adaptation will be wrapped up.
And here it is! Jim Gordon is finally rocking his mustache from the comic books...it's just a shame that it's a fake one for the purposes of this party. Still, it gives us an idea of how the character could one day look and given the way this show has deviated from the comics, we may never actually see it again!
