Spoilers Gotham - Season 2

Loving Jerome and the Maniax, they are such great twisted villains.
Jerome was definitely the highlight for me, Cameron Monaghan is a great (maybe) Joker.
I'm sad to see Essen go.
The stuff with Bruce and Alfred was pretty great again this week. I loved Alfred's meeting with Lucius Fox, and the reunion at the train station. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Lucius now thrown into the mix.
I'm glad to get Harvey back on the police force.
No Penguin this week, which was a big shock for me.
 
This is the Batman I have been looking for. Whatever they said in press releases before the series started, I am enjoying and I am satisfied if they keep this up.

The Bruce, the Alfred, the Fox, the Joker *maybe, the Gordon, they got it right this episode. Keep it coming.
 
His wife (from the comics) just died.

I have been waiting for a drunk random night where TV Gordon and TV Essen hook up.

That's not going to happen.

1 less reason to watch the show. :(
 
A Gotham license plate? So Gotham is a state as well a city?

It's been portrayed as such before. I think we saw Gotham State licence plates in B:TAS, and I think there was a mention or two of Gotham as a state in the '66 show. (After all, Gotham there was very much a New York surrogate, and New York City and State share a name.) And didn't Dick Grayson go to Gotham State University in the comics and B:TAS?

I live near Chicago State University...so at least for that aspect, it's just as vague.

I'm trying to remember, but i think other states have more personalized plates, which have the name of the city/county on them. (That is not the case for Illinois, though we do have personalized plates, including some that feature a specific public & private university in the state)
 
Well that episodes was... bloody!

I liked when the commish told Jerome that some day "Nobody will even remember your name."

Well, not his REAL name, anyway.
 
Really enjoyed the Bruce/Alfred stuff. Still like the Jim Gordon character a lot. But the rest of the show does, as others have written, seem to be morphing into the '66 show and that ain't good.

I loved Jerome when introduced last season and was properly chilled by his last scene in that episode, but this season's version is just over the top camp. All the "sinister" is missing, though must admit, I did like the Russian Roulette scene.

So, does Barbara going evil mean we aren't going to see her legs anymore, cause if so, that's just not right.

BTW, I'm persuaded, Lax Scrutiny, I think Jim would have at least a plausible self defense plea.

Going to stick with it, but this last episode overall is not where I want this series to go.
 
I think I still might be on the "Jerome is a red herring" bandwagon.

Not only, as others mentioned, was he channeling Jack and Ledger, but the "Ladies & Gentlemen, GOOD evening" bit at the beginning was strait-on Hamill. The way he pitched his voice was almost parody, even. And the cheerleader scene seemed to me like it was just a 2015 take on a Romero caper.

I don't know. It just seems like they're trying too hard to convince us he's the Joker.
 
Okay, I am now firmly in the Alfred/Lucius-shipper category. That flirting was not subtle.

"I was thinking about you last night."
"So... what where you thinking about me?"

"My old sausage", indeed. :guffaw:
 
I suppose it would be too obvious, as long as they're making up a civilian name for Joker, to have made it "Joseph Kerr."

Yeah.

Yeah.

He has used that as an alias at times.

At least they didn't go with "Jack Napier." I hated it when Batman: The Animated Series used that name for the Joker. Fortunately, The New Batman Adventures later established it as an alias, with the Joker's true name unknown.
 
A Gotham license plate? So Gotham is a state as well a city?

In addition to the past depictions already mentioned by Christopher, there were also plenty of Gotham license plates in view in the Nolan trilogy.

Gotham had it's own license plates in Smallville, as well. And of course Metropolis did, which is funny since they made it clear that it was part of Kansas.
 
^ That's easy.

For the same reason that every single previous depiction of the Batman mythos has involved the mayor in the story but not the governor.

Kor
 
Err... yeah. Whatever state it's in, the focus of the show is on the city. I mean, just because the city and state have the same name, that doesn't mean the city is the capital of the state. New York's capital is Albany, not NYC.

Batman '66 did occasionally mention "Governor Stonefellow," a play on New York State's governor at the time, Nelson Rockefeller. But the character we actually saw on a recurring basis was Mayor Linseed, a play on NYC's Mayor John Lindsay.

Then why are they playing S&M games with the mayor and not the govenor?

For the same reason the mayor of New York City isn't the Governor of New York.

That doesn't make sense, they want a pawn in office and a govenor beats a mayor any day of the week.
