It would have to run a LONG time for that to happen or do some serious time jumps.
I've seen mention of a time jump but I don't remember if it came from someone in the production or if it was just speculation.
I feel like Pengo would stab even himself in the back, if only his arms could bend that way.
I haven't really been watching this show, but had it on the past couple of weeks, and I have to say...
Batman hugged Gordon! Batman hugged Gordon!
Granted, Batman is only, like, 10 years old, but...Batman hugged Gordon!

I liked a lot of the episode, but I felt like it fell apart in the last act.
Gordon's plan was dumb as a bucket of rocks. He's not a cop with a suicidal death wish. I understand his idea conceptually -- "If I have to go down, I'm taking these corrupt fuckers with me" -- but that doesn't make it any less dumb.
What was Falcone's plan with Barbara? Was he intending on holding her as a hostage for however long it took for Gordon to make a move? The only way the resolution in Falcone's mansion makes sense is if Falcone knew that he'd have a face-to-face with Gordon.
Montoya and Allen standing ramrod straight at attention in Wayne Manor was hilariously weird.
So, Penguin played everyone -- Falcone, Maroni, Gordon, Fish -- "like a harp from Hell," to borrow that line from Batman Returns. That's pretty impressive. And his braininess will probably be his downfall; he'll do something that's way too clever for his own good.

Maybe, but a Jim Gordon who's got nothing to lose and wants to go out with a blaze of righteous glory is more interesting than the uptight, dialed-back Gordon we've had until now. He's finally embraced the craziness of Gotham, but in a way that makes it his own and works with his principles rather than against them. So for the first time, he was actually kind of a fun character to watch.
Was Zsasz(sp)'s ringtone Funky Town?
I liked Bullock and the Duchess as well. Somehow seemed right.
Falcone does always seem to be one step ahead though. Which may lead to his downfall if he's too confident about that.

I imagine that Gordon is not going to tell Barbara that Harvey and the Duchess got funky in their bed.
The comical portrayal of Zsasz here was very strange. I'm not that familiar with the character, but my impression is that in the comics, he's one of the darker, more gruesome and horrifying Batman villains, a sadistic serial killer (which is why he's never been adapted to animation). So making him a joke character here was unexpected. Indeed, there was no reason for the mob enforcer character to be called Victor Zsasz. The only points of commonality with the comics character were his baldness and his habit of marking off his kills on his own skin, neither of which was relevant to the character in this story. They could've just made him any old mob enforcer, and saved Zsasz for when they needed a serial killer story (although I guess last week's wouldn't have worked).
They were riffing on Batman Begins, apparently, where's he's a hitman for Falcone.
I didn't perceive Zsasz as a joke.
That speech while he was standing on desks was a threat.
He was willing to murder every one in that room and their children.
More importantly if he was killed, a hundred hoods would strike out and murder their families.

Those marks on his arm. Everyone of those is a kill.
I remember a comic where he was breaking out of prison to kill people and then breaking back in so that no one would notice, and the guard who counted the notches on his body every day, was not seeing new marks, so did not realize that new murders were taking place, so what was happening outside, it must just be a copy cat at work.
No one was counting the new marks on the souls of Victor's feet.
(This is the second time while watching Gotham that I have briefly confused DC Comics with Casablanca.)

I've been wondering about Poison Pepper as well. I guess it doesn't hurt to introduce the characters early but they don't seem to be in an hurry to get to them.
The law dictates that Children work less.
It might take them several weeks to get all the necessary shots for a an episode where the kids play a larger part.
Which means that they might be unavailable for three episodes, if it takes them four weeks to film one episode all about them.
Kids are a pain.

I think she was just fanbait for the first episode. If she was in play along with everybody else, it would be too much.
Bruce is in every episode. Selena, Fish, and Edward aren't.
