Before even diving, I must admit that Gotham’s canon was hard to swallow at first, but then I thought why not have new take? Why do we have to walk down the same road time and time again? Why not take the path less travelled?
And so the nights I went to bed after Gotham my mind wandered….
Season 2
It should start with a more confident Bruce, who sees justice of a different kind is needed in the city. He has almost figured out his parents killers. He and Selina should have began a budding romance.
But the real twist is Bruce comes up with the notion of a masked vigilante, but it isn’t dark and black, its more angry red with hints of green. Yes he should be Robin first. Now Now before you bite my head off hear me out. The suit should be home made and Alfred should not know. Maybe Selina should (not a hundred per cent deciede) but Alfred should find out by end of season. He doesn’t need to take on larger villains. Just street thugs or urchin.
It always bothered me why it was Batman and Robin and while it has a nice ring to it , it never made full sense. Having Bruce be Robin would also explain his need to keep Robin pure and innocent in the years he is Batman, It will be his deeper desire, a longing wish he never went dark. He will always see his younger self in the Robin guise.
Riddler should remain with the GCPD but occasionally show signs of his alter ego, maybe make him bi-polar (hello Arkham, we’ll get to you)
Penguin should have a following of his own by now, but like him still working the shadows.
Introduce Lucious Fox, an occasional visit to Wayne Enterprise by Alfred and Bruce. Maybe Fox showing off some gadgets to Bruce (extremely early prototypes of future Bat gadgets)
Gordon should still be the hero, and the show should use him to introduce the older super villains in training. But more particularly he and Dent should get real close then have a huge falling out because Dent uses Gordon to incarcerate some cops which coins (pun on purpose) him the moniker Two-Face by Gordon himself.
If Ivy is still around lets show her obsession for plants and hatred for man, but in small shades.
Thomas Elliot and Bruce should have a few more encounters…
I suppose that’s it.
I know everyone say Batman makes every villain crank up the crazy, but what if this time the crazies crank up Batman?
Again sure we can have the old canon but Flashpoint is prove diversity rocks!!!
