Spoilers Gotham - Season 3

I am glad to hear Ms Peabody will still be around!

 

Going by the press release, it looks like they realized paying an actor for 22 episodes when he only appeared in 3 is a bad idea (Harvey Dent), but they kept Lucius Fox so maybe he'll actually get to do something this time around.

 

Hopefully. He did start doing a lot more in the last few episode of Season 2.

 

Season 3 starts tonight.

 

Gotham Showrunner’s Superheroes Comments Clarified

 

That doesn't clarify a thing for me -- except that Heller is exactly as clueless about the genre he's working in as I thought he was. The idea that active superheroes can't be written as "real people" has surely been abundantly disproven by many works of fiction on the page and on the screen over the past three decades. Also, the idea that there is anything remotely realistic about the character writing on Gotham is downright farcical.

 

Yeah, I agree that doesn't really help.
As much as I love Gotham, at this point it's characters are probably less realistic than the ones on The Flash and Supergirl.

 

I can understand the notion that it might be easier for audiences to relate to people not running around in masks and tights or at least where one might believe that. Your final point is hard to refute, however. Maybe that contributes to the bonkersness of Gotham though because maybe the facade of an everyday show blinds Heller and Co. to just how nuts their show is.

 

Well, what was the alternative? "Yes, we know. Our showrunner doesn't know a thing about superhero shows."

 

They could have just not said anything at all.

 

I think it's easier to relate to a well-written, recognizably human character in a mask and tights than it is to relate to a campy, over-the-top caricature in a suit and tie.

 

I think it was an interview and the interviewer asked a question about Heller's comments. I doubt that he could answer with a with a "No Comment".

 

This confirms my original theory. Bruno Heller really doesn't know that there are other Superhero TV shows and no one has the courage to tell him the truth.

[Jack Nicholson voice] He can't handle the truth! [/Jack Nicholson voice].

 

Not if you're Donald Trump

 

I submit that the clone be called Deuce Wayne.

Am I getting acclimated to the madness of Gotham or was that relatively reasonable?

Yeah, about that...

 

Yeah, saw that... too bad.

But Alfred calling him "Master B".... umm.. no.

So..this will be low on my list of shows to watch (probably after a few days)

 

Watched Gotham. Jamie Chung is pretty, but this show is still a mess.

And now little girl Ivy is going to turn into a full grown chesty woman who will dress provocatively and have the camera ogling her... while still having the mind of a 13 year old?

 

Didn't you hear Mr. Heller? Because this is a show that talks about REAL PEOPLE and not some weirdo in costume.

REALISM!

 

Nothing is more realistic than the head of a mental institution being able to declare mass murderers sane and letting them out after a couple months.
