It was talked about in the "Official DC Thread".
I watch the show. It entertains me.

Ahh ok I didn't know. I figured it was solid enough to have its own thread. Donal Logue is absolute gold in this.

I havent watched tonights episode as I usually DVR it and watch it on Tuesday nights. I love the show myself but then again, Im a sucker for anything Batman. My only problem with the show is like every villain is in their 30s (except for Poison Ivy & Catwoman) and Batman/Bruce Wayne is like 12.

Gave it a shot when it first premiered. Made it to about episode 5 and stopped watching, didn't think it was any good.. Solid cast, great setting, it really captures the feel of a true Gotham City.. But that's not enough to make up for it's downfalls.
I'll be shocked if it makes it to season 3.

I think it's alright - it's definitely improved form the start. Honestly though, I still rank it behind Flash, Arrow, and even Constantine as far as DC shows go.
A Batman show without Batman just seems kinda pointless to me.

I'm a few episodes behind, but I fast forwarded last nights episode to the end to see the "Joker" and felt he was trying to channel Ledger a bit too much.
It was okay I guess.

I like the actor. I think he'd do good as a young Joker. He's great on Shameless.
With that said. I HATE when they give the Joker a back story. Don't need to know how he came to be. It's my problem with the 89 Batman and one of many reasons why I much prefer Ledger in the role. It's much more fun when there is no explaination or method to his madness.

A young Joker? Jesus Christ give me a break. Joker has no official backstory and this show is not the place to give him one.......I understood why they did it in Batman 1989(helped the excellent movie flow even better) but nah. Yet another reason to not to watch.
Took in about 4 eps and dropped it. vastly inferior to AOS, Arrow, Flash & Constantine.

Haven't watched the show, despite being a huge Batman fan. I did see the young Joker scene though, and that kid has talent. But I agree with @clamdiger07, Joker doesn't need a backstory.

It lost all credibility with me when Gordon reports back and forth to a 12yo Bruce Wayne who sits and broods in a mansion like aN old man lol. I know i can park my brain at the door with a lot of these shows but that took the cake. I thought the show was terrible to be honest just like I knew it would be.

Watching Joker episode now.
Edit: Just got done watching. They never really confirmed whether or not this kid is eventually going to be Joker.
I thought that was going to be a big part of the show to where they will have multiple characters throughout the series who could possibly end up becoming Joker but we wouldn't know who until it happened.

Donal Logue = perfect casting. Ben MacKenzie I like a lot too, but he isn't as well-suited for Gordon as I thought he'd be. Not enough Ryan Atwood.
The rest of the show... someone needs to humanely put it down. It's dreadful.

My favorite show as its one of the few shows I even watch and I really like the stories of the Characters before there criminals as I normally wouldnt like a universe without the Bat but Batman always had the best rouges gallery so hes hardly missed .
I dont mind the different twists or takes in the origins stories as long as Gotham stays true to the universe its creating throughout the series though I do wonder when it will make the huge fast forward leap in time though I hope its not done anytime soon .
I think the actor playing Bruce seems very young so the transition might not be easy for him age wise so he might need to be replaced unlike say Cat but who knows at this point as they can let it run like this for at least a few more years if thats what they have planned in the writting.
Kinda waiting to see when the Riddler snaps and by far The Penguin really carried many earlier episodes that were kinda all over the place and Fish Mooney is starting to get interesting so I hope the show stays like this for a while and has a normal progression as I like all the different twist and turns and they never seem to focus on any story to long while keeping a fast paced storyline and now we know how Robin gets conceived .
EDIT : I re read many of your comments which is fine but going into this I knew they were creating their own universe and back stories and not the standard stick to the comic origins stuff so take it for what its worth as I enjoy it for what its creating .

I thought they "confirmed" no appearance from The Joker at all.. They were going to hint at people that could be The Joker, but I was told there would be no Joker character.

If they get rid of Jada Pinkett and her atrocious, over the top, trying too hard acting I MAY try to get back in to the show, but I just CANNOT get past her and how awful she is.

many people seem to think Batman will appear on this show at some point.....and that Gotham will jump ahead some years.
Sorry folks but that wont happen.....no way no how does DC/WB (notoriously iffy)media division allow Batman to star on the small screen outside of animation.
