So we can expect Dr. Thompkins casting news this week, and with Victor Zzasz, Harvey Dent and now Hush also expected to appear, Gotham is really loading up on Bat-villains. They seem to be sticking to the more believable/grounded end of the spectrum for now, but we know Mr. Freeze is expected to show up eventually so how long before we see some of the more out there characters: Croc? Mad Hatter? Man-Bat? Okay, probably not the last one! Anyway, what do you guys think of this news? Sound off below.

Thomas Elliot is the only character that makes sense to do when you have a young Bruce Wayne. No Selina, no "Ivy Pepper", no Edward Nygma, just use the character that ACTUALLY was around when Bruce was a child.

I should not have seen Youtube reviews or read the comments.
There is more hate for this show than I thought.
I think it is good so far.

I'm getting tired of the show already, mainly because they're just including EVERYBODY. Idk though. *sigh

Although I think this has been decent so far, this is starting to sound like an Elseworlds story where Bruce never becomes Batman because it seems like all of these villains would be out of their prime before he even faces them.

Tommy makes total sense. They're supposed to be childhood buddies.

If we get an adult Tommy Elliott I'm gonna be pissed!

Unless they do a time jump, some of Bruce's VILLIANS shouldn't be so old

Oooo, Tommy would be perfect. Having an intellectual foil for a young Bruce Wayne would make for some interesting storytelling. I'm still waiting for the entire season to end before I give the show another shot. The pilot just turned me off way too much.

I hope Thomas Elliot is the same age as Bruce Wayne on this show and the friendship between them plays out over an entire or possibly multiple seasons.

As long as Tommy is as young as Bruce I'm happy I mean I can see why Selina is in Gotham showing her rough start but Ivy seems pointless

Sweet for Leslie, Hush makes no sense

The pilot was decent but its starting to get cheesy, luckily its on Fox so I doubt we will go past 2 seasons.

Lemme guess... the actor playing Thomas Elliot is gonna b in his late 20s early 30s, when the actual character is around the same age as Bruce... Tsk!
And please, stop squeezing in these corny references to their future roles...
Selina wants to be called cat. & she can see in the dark too. Get it! Cuz cats can see well in the dark...

She's a good character. Hope she appears in the DCCU.

@BatManiac

Agreed. Hopefully it gets better as the series progresses. If AOS can get a season 2 than I don't see why Gotham can't. It is on Fox though...

Young Bruce is very out of place in Gotham.

Well, they are just about running out of Batman rogues to tease, maybe they should take the Arrow approach and just do one batman villain per episode.

Lol so many villains....if only there were some hero to take them out.

Having a young Thomas Elliot could be an awesome part of the show. I always thought Hush would be a good movie villain. He is a more personal villain that could add some emotional scenes to the movie.

I would have loved hush as a potentially Nolan Bat-Movie villian.
