![]() ![]() Of course, he fakes it, and he’s safe for now until he intently stares down another mob guy in what I’m guessing is the next episode. Gordon is told to later prove himself to make it look like he’s on the take already by shooting a lackey and dumping him in the river. Falcone kind of gives us a little info that he knew Gordon’s dad, and the guy might have been in the mob’s pocket. Through trying to find out who really killed the Waynes, Gordon ends up almost butchered in a hog plant with Bullock (who has a shining knight moment or two), until saved by Moony’s boss Carmine Falcone. I’m thinking lesbian love fest, and Barbara was maybe a little criminal…who needed to be cuffed. Apparently Montoya and Barbara Kean have a past, but there are not many clues. Oh, and Montoya goes to warn Gordon’s fiancée he might not be on the up and up. Gordon is onto it, but Montoya thinks he’s in on it, and they should have had a scene where everyone pulls a guy on each other in some kind of standoff. Long story short, gangsta Fish Moony (way to name one of the only women, Fish) helps Bullock frame a big dude without shiny shoes (watch the ep) so he can close the case faster. Renee Montoya does want the case (like seeing her in this!). Gordon’s partner, Harvey Bullock doesn’t want the case, because it’s too much of a hassle and he’s kind of involved with the people who might’ve ultimately been behind it. Being a police procedural in a comic book world, Gordon’s first case is the most famous of them all- the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, and his promise is to young Bruce to find the killer. New detective James Gordon is hot on the case of finding criminals and new ways to intently stare at people, while making a promise to a young boy. What the hell it’s about: It’s kind of the white bread version of Training Day, except there’s no one as charismatic as Denzel. What’s it called: Let’s give it up for whoever names these things. ![]() We can go over questions, comments, concerns, and in this first recap touch on more of the overall impressions I got watching the thing (I promise, not all recaps will be as bloated and self-important as this one). It looks like a movie almost, and it works better than some movies do (cough*Fantastic Four*cough*Green Lantern).īeing a big old Bat-fan, I’m gonna watch this show and recap it for all of you, and give my thoughts on it every week. Where Starling City in Arrow is cinematic, this not only feels like a sprawling metropolis (hehe), but it has the added Batty quality. ![]() That’s one great thing about this new show- Gotham has an epic feel and look to it. Not only did Nolan create the template for DC Comics to follow in the modern era with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, he might as well have lent the creative team the costumes and sets for the new show. But where the cartoons took their initial influence from the Tim Burton movies of the 1990’s, this new show has Christopher Nolan’s baby batter all over it. The closest thing to Batman on TV since the animated series that formed many people’s opinions of what the Dark Knight was, or could be. ![]() It used characters from all throughout Superman’s canon and transplanted them to his formative years, leaving me to wonder just what the hell he was going to do when he finally donned the cape anyway.īut I digress. It never happened, which was okay, because Smallville had the tendency to really mess up when it came to the storytelling toward the end. Or even Bruce Wayne come to town for a football game or something, where Clark could banter and stare down the other most famous comic orphan of all time. Ever since Smallville premiered on the WB (now the CW), fanboys were clamoring for a crossover with the caped crusader. You know, for the bat-time and bat-channel. That could pretty much sum up the new show Gotham which started airing on the Fox network Mondays this week. ![]()
