I can't believe it seems my point went over your head. These producers are making fun of the out-of-control serialization of live action comic books, and they are providing stories that have a sick and twisted side to them, which is much more tolerable than taking comic book material straight "Oh, he's a speedster, and he came from another dimension, but here he has no power, but he's a speedster and can help us. He''s not like he once was but he can redeem himself" flat uninspired crap we are getting on other shows. I happen to find most of Gotham's plots interesting, but even if the concessional story-line is crap, I can still expect it to be delivered to me with a bit of an attitude, and characters like Bolluck will deliver dead-pan hard-boiled detective lines like "I need a Danish" or that he'll say "The d=shift is almost over" and the lieutenant will say "yeah.. almost" and give him the assignment anyway. It's those things - set in a twisted comic book world - that in the end are more interesting than the story. I mean we are flooded with comic book stiff these days, it's hard to break new ground on the stories themselves so it all is about how it's delivered.
