Wait, why is CIA in that poster? I would watch the show if he was on it.

[(Anonymous)]

The show follows his early days on the agency catching big guys for the government.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a (kinda clumsy) fan edit.

Unfortunately. Because seeing Carcetti / Littlefinger in a show like Gotham could only be a good thing.

Ivy Pepper.

Seriously, who the hell thought that name change would be a good idea? They could have "Edward Nigma" but not "Pamela Isley"? Wtf? Was it ever explained why they decided to go with a name that is even more punny than the original?

That aside, I agree with you. I'll check out the first episode, but I don't have high hopes, honestly. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong!

Re: tangent

[illiadandoddity]

That bugged me too. They kept everyone else's name, why change Ivy's?

Re: tangent

[(Anonymous)]

Re: Ivy Pepper. Maybe copyright issues? Could it be? It bugs and confuses me, too. *scratches head*

Re: tangent

[(Anonymous)]

I think the writers implied she's going to be adopted and her parents change her name to Pamela Isley

Re: tangent

[(Anonymous)]

I also thought that this was supposed to be a "before they were villains" thing so I was surprised to see Edward Nigma instead of Edward Nashton...

[comradesmiler]

Well, I can see why that woul-
Fuck you.

Hothead, please leave.

It's probably going to be, but there's nothing wrong with a police procedural if they do it well. And who knows? They could hit a home run and you'd have another Person Of Interest, or they could completely fuck up and you could have another The Cape. There's lots of good options here.

(Okay, that's not true. There will never be another Cape.)

[(Anonymous)]

I liked The Cape. I wish it had had a chance to get better.

[elaminator]

Donal Logue is in this? Ooo, now I'm more interested. Also, whoever is playing Riddler is adorable. Not sure I'm comfortable with that...

[cushlamochree]

I feel like, if you're going to find a Batman villain adorable, Riddler is probably one of your better choices, really.

[cloud_riven]

I'm okay with handsome devil Riddler. Don't know much about the actual show premise yet, but if DetectiveStint!Riddler is a thing that happens, I'll be ruined in my heart.

[(Anonymous)]

TBH, I'm only going to watch this because I have such an awkward lady wood for Donal Logue. I can't even explain it.

It has to be, like some primal Celtic ginger something deep inside me that says, "look at that over manly Celt over there. Go forth and fuck his brains out and produce many fine ginger children with him. They shall be ginger and manly and warriors unless they are girls and then they will be ginger and womanly and warriors and they shall be the finest in the land. Now, go get that dick and ride it like your ancestors rode to kill the English" or something.

I don't question my libido any more. I just go with it.

Honestly, I agree with this article from The Agony Booth, which basically says the show might be good if it WAS just a police procedural that happens to be set in Gotham, but, to quote:

"Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be what they’re going for here. Rather than simply tell the story of Jim Gordon fighting the growing criminal influence in Gotham City, it appears they’re going to load the show up with all sorts of winks and nods to the Batman mythos.
[...]
It feels a bit like the producers of Gotham are already terrified that if they don’t constantly reference Batman in some way, people will get bored. What may end up being this show’s downfall is not the fact that it’s a Batman series without Batman, but rather that it’s a prequel series. And prequels seem obliged to lay it on thick when it comes to referencing established aspects of the franchise."

Emphasis added, because, yeah, that's one of the things that bugs me about prequels.

And, yes, most of my reply is quoting someone else, but they said it so much better than I could...

[(Anonymous)]

Why is baneposting leaking into fs?

[(Anonymous)]

Because the fire risesh.

[(Anonymous)]

Be a big guy and deal with .

[chardmonster]

That sounds like close to what it should be!

I'm worried it's going to be some kind of lame fanservice show that sometimes pretends to be about cops.

I want Gotham PD basically. Not LOOK! IT'S CHILD POISON IVY GUYS

[(Anonymous)]

As long as the fanservice isn't hamfisted I would be okay with the cop show+fanservice formula. Like, honestly yeah I do want the fanservice (I long to see Eddie's start of darkness in this show) but like... well done fanservice, you know?

[(Anonymous)]

God I can't stand looking at young Bruce, he creeps me out so much.

I know they're going for dark and atmospheric, but it reminds me a bit of Dark Shadows.

[(Anonymous)]

The make-up and the lighting sort of make everyone look vampiric (or maybe corpse-ish?). And I think maybe they were trying for noir.
