ShangLuda Admirable film.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
rmirchandani This Emmy nominated series is a breath of fresh air for the DC Universe. The acting is first rate and the writing is terrific. The quality of the show increases each season. Gotham is its own show and is not part of a shared universe like the Arrowverse. Gotham fully honors the Batman Mythos and incorporated numerous comic book accurate characters (such as; Solomon Grundy, The Penguin, The Riddler, Catwoman, Tigress, etc.) in the show.It provides an insight on how Bruce Wayne became the man we all know today. In season 1 we saw him trying to mourn his parents deaths. In addition, he learned more about Wayne Enterprises and his father's past. As a season 1 cliffhanger we got a brief glimpse of the Bat cave. In season 2 Bruce Wayne tried to find the person who killed his parents. We eventually found out in season 3 that Hugo Strange specifically the Court of Owls ordered a lowlife to kill Thomas and Martha Wayne. As a season 2 cliffhanger we got a brief glimpse of Bruce Wayne's doppelgänger. He was created by Hugo Strange in Indian Hill. In season 3 Bruce Wayne found his doppelgänger and this stirred up some problems. Later in the season it was revealed that his doppelgänger worked for the Court of Owls (A clandestine organization who had Thomas and Martha Wayne killed). In this season Bruce uncovered secrets about the Court of Owls. He found out that the Court controls the entirety of Gotham and Wayne Enterprises. At the end of the season it was revealed that Ras al Ghul is the actual leader of the Court of Owls. As a season 3 cliffhanger we got a brief glimpse of Bruce Wayne as a vigilante. In season 4 Bruce Wayne faced Ras al Ghul and killed him. That act lead him down a dark path. He quit being a vigilante and started to be a douche bag to everyone including Alfred. Playboy Bruce Wayne was born in season 4. Bruce Wayne plays a pivotal role in the show, but does not receive as much screen time as Jim Gordon. The show focuses more on Jim Gordon's story and how he became the person from the comics. To conclude, Gotham is a violent, dark and gritty show with an amazing cast. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in Jim Gordon's past and who fell in love with the Batman comics as a kid/young adult/adult. Hopefully the fifth and final :( season does not disappoint.
adragon82 Season 1 was a solid 9 with strong characters and storylines that did not in any way go against what is to be expected from fans.Season 2 grew what season 1 started with expanding with new characters but started to pit Gordon against Batman villians but not in a way that made them seem like they themselves could not grow to require a Batman to stop them. Again a solid 9.Season 3 started to take odd turns, connecting female characters in a "we need to stick together because patriarchy and how much men suck" and marred an otherwise excellent season with even more new characters that fit the Batman EU.This new season however took what was an otherwise excellent season and went full tilt WTF by making the League of Assassins look like a bunch of wussies, all of the men killed by a few female characters because all men are weak and it was time for a female lead, one that a male assassin said could never lead...a story that was so pointless and just plain horrible seeing as how the league is led by a woman longer in the Batman timeline than a man...all meshed in several other smaller stories of female victimization nonsense that dragged the overall storyline into the dirt.Sad, Season 4 gets a 6, barely and im near the point of no longer watching the show which will leave only Black Lightning and The Flash that I have not given up on due to the horrible push of SJW nonsense into the DC shows.EDITED to add new info having seen the last 4 episodes of Season 4. What was a great ending to the season was once again marred by the plague of social justice attitudes ruining the DC universe of shows with a resounding "Everything is the fault of men, time for a man free zone" proclamation by a now all female gang that is clearly set to target men and all while taking the name of a group that actually exists in the Batman series, The Sirens!This horrible change in story has made this the final episode I will watch of this series. Only The Flash and Black Lightning have so far manage to escape the touch of real world social politics which has no place at all in movies and tv shows that are meant to transport us into another world/existence.What a horrible waste of a good show. Lowering my rating for Season 4 from a 6 to a 3 for breaking immersion and making such a massive change to the Batman world.
lyndsiestoltman If Gotham isn't renewed for a season 5 I pledge to stop watching broadcast TV forever. This show is awesome.
info-14589-04708 Nice show that shows Bruce Wayne's childhood. We find all the Batman characters there long before Batman appeared. This series is a real success with a universe in which we find the same code, the same dark leg and colorful characters. A true prelude to what will happen later, the screenplay depicts, through rather well-edited stories, the different characters who cross paths and on whom we already recognize potential psychopaths. The script doesn't always hold water but it remains a pleasant moment of entertainment for Batman fans.
