I really hope this storyline ends with Jerome dead.

"What? You thought he was the Joker? We never said anything like that! You guys gotta stop jumping to conclusions... Just let the story unfold."

This show is......painfully horrible. It is such a cheap cash in on what little of the batman mythos left intact.

First two episodes of the new season were, as expected, mediocre. What a shame.

[frick] everything else on this show. Give me an hour of Jerome. That kid's Joker is one of the best versions I think I've ever seen. Perfect part Nicholson, Ledger, and Hamill. Just give me The Joker Hour, starring slaughter and mayhem.

I hate myself a little bit more every time I watch this shit. Just a cheap cash-grab on Batman, without [frick]ing Batman.

& while "Jerome" is doing a good job as proto-Joker, I didn't ever want to know who Joker was. It cheapens one of the greatest villains somehow. I'm not sure that statement applies to any other supervillain in the comic world, but it does for me with Joker

& yes, I am aware of The Killing Joke storyline

Amazing episode! Don't care what anyone says. Love Jerome. And when Bullock returned I choked up like a punk.

One of the best cb TV insides of all time. I think Jerome is probably the greatest villain portrayals we have seen.

Haters of this show belong in Arkham with the rest of the lunatics.

For a pretty shitty show...the last 2 eps were pretty good. Dialogue and tone is too corny and horrible, but the GCPD massacre was pretty ballsy.

It's kinda a shame how a show without Batman can still feel more like Batman than Nolan's movies ever did. Jerome is already starting to put Ledger to shame and he's not even officially Joker yet! I loved how he embraced Mark Hamill's depiction of the Joker and went full on killer with the added humor that was sorely lacking from The Dark Knight.

Why do people complain how awful this show is, yet they continue to watch it!!!!!!!!

Stupidity at it finest!

Gee, sorry the best CBM of all time doesn't have enough humor. Sorry it felt with issues and was"sorely lacking" in humor, as opposed to forcing it in, Nolan feels bad for disappointing you, he really does

I usually like my Joker origins mysterious and/or unknown but if it had to be done I'm glad this guy is what we got. Jerome is killing it.

Best show yet tonight. Bravo Gotham!

I knew this season was going to be insane. This is episode just proved that! This "so-called-shitty-little-show" has given us better villains than the whole of the billion-dollar MCU...

Jerome, Penguin and yes, even Barbara make Loki and co look like Disney princesses! Yes, I went there...

Really? They stole the Heath Ledger Joker video from TDK? That's just as bad as Arrow stealing their plot lines from Nolan's series in the first two seasons.
Supafairy
Supafairy - 9/28/2015, 9:27 PM
@ForcedAccount can you steal your own property? I see it more as paying tribute to a legend...and a great tribute it was if intended to be so.

This show is great and this kid as the Joker owns lol but I would like Bruce to start being a little bit more... Batman-like? I mean I guessed the passcode was Bruce he should have enough detective prowess to figure that thing out

Another great episode with Jerome "killing it" (see what I did there)

I'm really enjoying this origin story but I'm bothered by the fact that Gordon and Essen never had a romantic relationship seeing as how they were married in the comics.

Brilliant TV, every second of this episode was pure entertainment. The show has improved exponentially. Second favorite TV show after Flash right now.
Can't wait for next episode.

Fun show. All the villains seems to act like their movie counterparts. Riddler even dropped an "alrighty then" a Jim Carey staple.

I hope the rich dude ends up the Man-Bat. Those ears...

Proto Joker is a great description. Kudos to this actor playing Jerome. Making the role his own and pulling in the best from Nicholson, Ledger, and Romero. Great stuff. Keep it up Gotham, tied for 1st with Flash as my favorite CBTV. Mythos be dammed.

Jerome ≠ Joker.
Jerome = Jeremy Karne, Kid Karnival, a Joker wannabe.
