Gotham Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Gotham Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


Gotham Premieres on FOX on September 22, 2014



Before there was Batman, there was GOTHAM.

Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world's greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon's story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?

GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), GOTHAM follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.

Growing up in Gotham City's surrounding suburbs, JAMES GORDON (Ben McKenzie, “Southland,” “The O.C.”) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée, BARBARA KEAN (Erin Richards, “Open Grave,” “Breaking In”), Gordon is living his dream – even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid.

Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend HARVEY BULLOCK (Donal Logue, “Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,” “Vikings,” “Copper”), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, BRUCE (David Mazouz, “Touch”), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer.

As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham's criminal justice system, Gordon will confront imposing gang boss FISH MOONEY (Jada Pinkett Smith, “The Matrix” franchise, “HawthoRNe”), and many of the characters who will become some of fiction's most renowned, enduring villains, including a teenaged SELINA KYLE/the future CATWOMAN (acting newcomer Camren Bicondova) and OSWALD COBBLEPOT/THE PENGUIN (Robin Lord Taylor, “The Walking Dead”).

While the crime drama will follow Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, led by Police Captain SARAH ESSEN (Zabryna Guevara, “Burn Notice”), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, ALFRED (Sean Pertwee, “Camelot,” “Elementary”). It is a friendship that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be.

GOTHAM is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” franchise, “Nikita”). John Stephens will serve as an executive producer on the series.

1x01 Pilot

What a scum bag killing Thomas and Martha Wayne after giving him what he wanted and knowing they had their young son with them makes the killing even worse but it's a shame the pick pocked didn't help, Gordon chasing the suspect after shooting at him was crazy as he had the shot on him on the roof

i am just glad he had seconds thoughts killing the kid it would been worse and frame job was sad and telling Bruce that they got the wrong killer and he has to keep it a secret was even saddier

The fact the guy who was framed fired the first shot he got what he deserved especially with his wife having a black eye but only having the shiny shoes to go on it's going to be tough finding the killer

You would of thought wife would be grateful for that but when Gordan came to question her she looked mad .

1x02 Selina Kyle

Gordon's girlfriend Barbara leaking the story was amusing and Selina being at the crime scene again and not doing anything was starting to get frustrating but at leased she about to help catch the Wayne's killer

1x03 The Balloonman

You just knew Selina was going to pick the handcuff lock but at leased he knows she was telling the truth about the wallet being down the drain and Penguin coming back was predictable and turning up at James door proves to Barbara he didn't kill him

Arkham

That penguin is a tricky guy setting the heist up and kill them was smart and helping Gordan with his case was nice gesture since he saved his life what a way to pay back him for letting him live.
