Re: Gotham anyone?

Hahahaaa I just wanted to talk about Gotham because holy shit is it ever rare for me to find television that I like these days. The problem with being a writer is it just gets harder to find something to read, you know?

Also it's pretty cool that your husband worked as a movie extra. It's always been a vague goal of mine (and you'd think I'd have realized it by now given where I live currently), but hasn't been in the cards yet.

If you have the opportunity, I hope you take it and try being an extra. It was a fun experience, made for a great story, and we had a wonderful time.

Gotham is one of my go-to shows atm. I really liked the interaction between Nigma and the Penguin this season and the addition of several actors to the cast, most of whom I have followed before and am happy to see more of. I can't wait to see some of the new characters that have been teased.

I wondered if you were a Batman fan before the show or if the show is what reeled you into itself? I liked Gotham itself as I am not a DC Comics reader, I am not well-versed in the Batman mythos and so, I thought perhaps I am one of a minority.

Well, I've read and watched various Batman properties off and on. Never for Batman.

I actually really dislike Bruce Wayne as a surface concept. I've always found him to be a huge, whiny, self-important man child going about a problem in the absolute most counterproductive way possible. Simply by existing he creates more supervillains, since a good portion of them come into being in order to pit themselves against a worthy foe (Riddler is a great example, actually).

What I so love about the property really is the villains themselves... the way they each personify a psychological disorder, and in a way represent that disorder in Batman himself. The only way I enjoy Batman is seeing him as a sick individual battling physical representations of his psychosis.

So... this show is everything I've ever wanted, really. A Batman property where Batman is a supporting character at best? Hell yes. HELL yes.

Thank you for this lovely and well-written reply. I feel I have a much clearer understanding of why this series provides controversy in fandom circles. Cheers, Herpy, happy viewing. I look forward to more conversations like this in the future.
