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. Yeah she was brutal almost un watchable IMO but her story is getting better and to who said Batman will never be on the small screen thats interesting so lets see how it unfolds ? as you make a great point and DC is all aboot $$$$$

Fish Mooney is the worst part of this show.
Zero cares given about her character.

I'm not watching Gotham for the same reason I skipped Smallville. Overly dramatic show about Superman/Batman where they aren't actually Superman/Batman in it.

Honestly, I wasn't a fan until about a half dozen episodes in when it really picked up. I have to agree with a lot said about Fish though, I don't like her at all.

A lot of different opinions here. I enjoy the show but I agree about Jada being bad. I like the Fish Mooney character I just don't like the casting for the character. I enjoy the Gordon and Bullock characters quite a bit though. James Gordon really was the first "Batman" in a sense. Someone tired of the corrupt ways of Gotham with a point to prove. He just chose a badge instead of a cape and mask. I hope it continues and I hope it gets better and better.

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. Actually it was never confirmed to be The Joker. While they hinted at it in the previews for next weeks episode they highlight a new criminal, Red Hood, who Im sure you know also ended up being The Joker. Im to believe they're going to touch on all the "options" that could be The Joker but then have Joker already developed somewhere else in the story that we dont realize.

Out of all the new shows this season Gotham us the best, Robin Lord Taylor (The Penguin) is so great in his role I like that he is featured a lot but I hate the focus on Fish Mooney since she isn't needed but I guess the producers wanted a female lead so they created her.

Either way great conversation ! and I dont think one character makes or breaks this show as theres so many and growing and I heard many also hated the future Barbara Gordon so Im I guessing correctly most dont hate the character but they hate the actor playing it ? As far as origins penguin also very different and I never liked his mother Carol Kane and that annoying voice even back from Taxi .
Everyone likes Harvey/Donald but I always enjoyed him more in comic roles but thats just me andI really enjoy the take on how they become future criminals like the Crane and scarecrow story line and Im not 100% convenience that circus kid is Joker ?

I enjoy the show and I agree about Fish I also don't give a care about her at all. I like to see more of Bruce than any of the characters on the show to be honest. Also I thought the circus kid could pass as a Joker, he fit the role pretty well to me.

I think Gotham is my favorite show mostly because I like to see what people can create in a vague universe that hasnt been done before and I never over analyze each little detail that could drive you crazy especially when you try to figure in the origins stories so I hope they can keep the pace their currently on .
Oh does anyone know if the ratings are good ?

You can certainly tell a lot about a person who claims to be a Batman fan, watches this show, and doesn't read any of the comics.

Haven't seen the show yet but it sounds interesting. And I'm a huge Donal Logue fan so I'm sure I'll check it out at some point. There's just too much TV I'm keeping up with right now.

I like it, but don't. I love Gordon and the GCPD portion of the show as well as Penguin and the crime bosses, but hate the introductions of all of his rogues gallery as kids.

I cant read much into ratings these days as it was down on one of the better episodes Crane and up on this weeks so who knows and I think the dynamic of the children pre criminal is the best part of the show and one of the major reasons I watch as you can see how they became what they are and most is very bad parenting .
Comic book origins have nothing to do with this show ! If you think that then you will be sadly disappointed and do you really wanna see the same stories re hashed over and over ? Sure its vague and loose but its creative and their story and universe and as long as they stay true to it thats all that matters for me unless they made Batman a girl or catwoman catboy or something like that I have no issue .
