Jerome's coming back, too. Makes sense, though. After bringing back so many people, they might as well bring back the one character that fans seem most adamant about. Seems like this is another instance of the producers changing around their plans to be more in tune with what the fans want. The other example I can think of is Barbara. Plus, Penguin became a breakout character after fans were so receptive to Robin Lord Taylor's portrayal. Currently, the only thing I see that fans are making a big deal about is that they want Fish Mooney gone.

Quote"I don't think superheroes work very well on TV," Bruno Heller, showrunner of Fox drama Gotham, told the Edinburgh Television Festival on Thursday. "Probably because of the costume thing."

Sigh...

Gonna be honest, the show has really turned into a trainwreck. I'm not sure how casual viewers are taking it, but I know that fans continue to be utterly baffled again and again.

The saddest part is the amazing talent behind it all. Most of the cast is just phenomenal. It's just that the writing takes the show to some really strange places. Diverging from the source has the potential to be exciting, but lately, that hasn't been doing any favors. Another amazing feat is that there's even less at stake when a character dies here than in the comics. The action barely compensates anymore.

In the beginning, what got a lot of people excited about the show in the first place was the fact that it was a story about Gordon. Some coverage of Bruce was mandatory, but there is a reason why his story only started when he became Batman. There was no story otherwise, and that's pretty apparent.

sh*t, Donal Logue is desperately pleading for help on Twitter to find his teenage son.

QuoteJonathan Nolan: He [Batman] has this one rule, as the Joker says in The Dark Knight. But he does wind up breaking it. Does he break it in the third film?

Christopher Nolan: He breaks it in...

Jonathan Nolan: ...the first two.

The Mutant Gang Leader has been sighted on set.



Behold, Gotham's Bane.




Some images have leaked online showing the final look of the Gotham Joker.









Disclosure: I went on the record long ago for not caring about this show. I've never seen an episode.

But one thing I've always wanted from a toxically-bleached incarnation of the Joker is burns. If his skin has been bleached, it makes sense to me in a comic booky fuzzy science kind of way that his skin would be burned, at least a little bit. And I've never understood why we haven't seen more of that.

So my compliments to whoever is making these decisions with Gotham. This is a step in the right direction if you ask me.

I couldn't care less about Gotham either, but full credit to them for doing something different. This is the first live action Joker who really looks as if he was immersed in chemical waste.

An image has appeared online supposedly showing Batman's costume from the Gotham finale. It's from the same Reddit page that leaked the early Joker pics, so it could be legit. Or it could just as easily be fake. Judge for yourselves.
