GOTHAM - BATMAN Prequel TV Series

[Scareb]

I wasn't a fan of the Japanese black mask. Hoping that he gets his black skull mask at some point. I'm also curious if Tommy is gonna try to be Bruce's best friend now like in the comics. I've seen that happen a few times with kids. Kid kicks bullies ass and the bully ends up becoming his friend.

The way I look at it is Alfred is old school in every way. He's not your traditional butler in any sense. He seems like the type of guy who would encourage you to stand up for yourself, not go and tell a teacher. On top of that, every iteration of Alfred loved Thomas and Martha Wayne very much. So hearing someone speaking ill of his family probably made him wanna beat the kid himself.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Sitting down to watch this week's ep. now!

It also bugged me that his name was Richard. Maybe this isn't the Black Mask.

I like that Alfred acts like an ex-military man. It's a cool take. That wasn't really so much my issue with the scene. It was more the fact that it highlighted Bruce's upper class status. But it was uncomfortable... but not necessarily in a bad way. I thought it actually kind of highlighted something interesting I'd not really thought about before.

I'm thinking he's Roman's old man.

 

[devilof76]

Seems like the kind of guy that would raise a kid like that.

I didn't really think there was any underdog in the scenario. Elliot was wealthy, as well, so, it wasn't like the rich kid drove over to the poor kid's house to beat the hell out of him.

I just wonder how long before that gets old. They said they were taking the same approach with The Scarecrow later on.

 

[Scareb]

His name was Richard? Whoops. I thought they said his name was Roman. As soon as I heard Sionis I just jumped to Roman. I guess I could see him being Romans old man.

I think it's better than introducing characters too soon (Harvey Dent, for instance).

 

[batfan08]

On one hand, the dude playing Harvey is like 35. On the other hand, the dude's got a baby face, and he's probably playing the role ten years younger, which would make Harvey about 13 years older than Bruce. That's not too bad.

 

[The Ween]

Maybe this show is just all over the place. Just using characters but not keeping them in any type of a timeline.

 

[MegaPrime33]

I enjoy this show more and more with each new episode. And am I wrong, or did it look like Barbara was leaving?!

While the actress who plays Barbara is pretty enough, the character adds nothing to the show, IMO. I could care less if she leaves, but I am guessing she comes back.

I wasn't talking about that specific situation, though. I was talking about in general - in life. His parents died. It's tragic. But unlike the thousands of other kids in similar scenarios throughout Gotham, Bruce doesn't have to worry about going to a home or being bounced around to various foster homes or being stuck with a relative who doesn't want him. He's got a ton of resources at his disposal. It's just an interesting thought, I think, when considering who Bruce is and who he will become.

As far as introducing batman villains too soon, the truth is it really doesn't matter. We've been told we won't see Batman, right? So, the show never has to deal with the fall out of having Batman beating up a bunch of 50 year olds.

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Holy cow!! I was not expecting the last scene

I was not expecting that

 

[sifu74]

I thought they were done with that stupid lesbian crap, the Montoya chick is not even hot. Also, this show makes cops look like Mr. Magoos, damn they are dumb.
