Gotham - Season 1

Gordon is an odd cop, he touches ogjects and the victim of a crime scene without gloves, then he goes all cowboy again and tries to arrest the guy at the station. And Bruce needs to get over Selina. And Miss Kringle seems to be softening to Ed, I hope he doesn't end killing her.
 
If the season doesn't end with Oswald shooting Fish in the face, I'm going be mighty upset. I can't stand her.

And Pinkett tries way too hard.

And Bruce needs to get over Selina.
What in the past 75 years is any indication Bruce will ever get over Selina Kyle?
 
You have to wonder how their first encounter in the rubber suits is going to be different if they both immediately recognize each other.
 
I'm hoping Penguin starts growing a bit more of a spine at some point. Constantly grovelling and begging for his life is getting a bit old.
 
He might have been on his knees when he stood up to fish, which was as soon as he believed that he was dead, and there was nothing he could do about it, but he did show spine as he revealed the truth in the second before a knife was shoved in his neck.
 
From last night's ep, wasn't Flass, also the detective in the pocket of Jack Napier/The Joker in Burton's Batman?

Or did he exist in the comics before that movie?

The guy you're thinking of is Lt. Eckhardt played by none other than Jek Porkins from Star Wars :)
 
IIRC, Flass was the name of the detective who served as Gordon's nemesis in the GCPD in Miller's Year One. Gordon wound up taking a baseball bat to him.

Arnold Flass was invented by Frank Miller for Batman: Year One in 1987, predating Burton's film by two years. He played the role that Bullock plays in this show -- the corrupt partner of the young Jim Gordon when he started on the GCPD -- but rather than redeeming himself as Bullock has, he stayed totally corrupt, at one point beating Gordon with a baseball bat to teach him a lesson (which Gordon later repaid in kind), and ended up getting badly injured by Batman during a drug deal he was participating in.

Flass also appeared in Batman Begins, and though his role was much like that in Year One (Gordon's partner and a pawn of Carmine Falcone), he looked and acted more like Bullock, unkempt and gluttonous. That may be what inspired Gotham's makers to insert Bullock in Flass's place.

Sounds like I got my Batman films mixed up :)

But knew there was a dirt copy named Flass in there somewhere.
 
Really enjoyed this one.
So I wonder if Fish's place is going to become the Iceburg Lounge now that Penguin is running it? If he's still running it after the episode.
I was glad to see Bruce and Alfred again, although I do hope this isn't the end of Bruce and Selina's friendship.
I have to feel sorry for poor Ed, I wonder what is going to happen to make him snap. That definitely seems to be where they are headed with all of this.
 
Also, no Barbra. That alone made it a great episode.

I was just thinking early today that I hope they bring Maggie Sawyer in at some point down the road.
 
Cassette tapes!

I was about to say that lesbians stay well hidden in those aggressively homophobic days, when I remember all the lesbian sex that we've already almost seen.
 
However as a Preteen... I feel that he's a teen? Selena is older or he's really Sheltered, but he has to be at least 13?

(Take 2.)

However as a preteen, Bruce is simultaneously in love completely with almost every woman/girl he chances upon.

It takes a very long time for men (boys) in general not to be absolutely in love with every viable female they come within an arm length of.

Non-viable = Far too young, far too old or far too related.
 
I'm disappointed that Lil' Bruce fell for Selina's lie. I know he's only eight but he's still The Goddamn Batman...
