FYI, it looks as if Gotham is only going to get a Season 5 if negotiations with the new Lethal Weapon lead falls through.

So according to a recent interview with one of the producers for the show they are not allowed to ever call anyone "the Joker" and also they can make Jerome/Jeremiah look kind of like the Joker but they can't go full Joker and have both the white face and green hair. Because having every other Batman villain running around using their villain names is fine but they have to make an exception for the Joker because obviously they're going to be doing all those movies with him. You know, the movies that are nowhere near production and like every other DC movie plan will probably fall through before they ever do.

It's likely moot anyways since I'm really expecting the show to get cancelled this week (if not tomorrow.)

At this point I can take it or leave it with this show. Like if it gets renewed, I'll end up watching it. If it got cancelled, I wouldn't lost any sleep over it.

Good news and bad news. Good news: Renewed! Bad news: For a final season that will probably only be 13 episodes.

Yea a 13 episode season with a clear end in sight is the best idea. I'm really glad they didn't go full Killing Joke on Selina. I saw someone mention somthing about that inregards to this episode, and I was worried that they'd do "the shoot her, take naked pictures of her" part. Glad they have more sense than most Batman fans have these days.

I'm honestly more surprised Lethal Weapon got a season 3.

That's good news. We can get a good finish that has no padding and be done.

Yeah, this is just good news as far as I'm concerned. I mean, I'm worried that they'll also end up shucking some cast members, but I imagine that if they do it'll be Sophia, Rás and Lucius Fox. AKA none of the best characters. Fingers crossed for a fourth Ivy and a third Kringle.

Kin posted:It's pretty funny how often they've changed Ivy for what's been a total of about 6 episodes? None of which had any real consequence to the plot. Yea, its one of the strangest things about the series. I wonder if it was just because they wanted to sex up the character, or maybe it was issues with the actor behind the scene? And honestly, the shows Ivy always bugged me because the idea of Pamela Isley being a genious biotanist and a woman who had really worked for success was a better character than "she liked plants and had magic powers". Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, this is just good news as far as I'm concerned. 4th Ivy can be Chelsea Spack. I fele like Ras will be the ultimate villain, the one who finally gets Bruce to put on the cape. My biggest worry is that they do something dumb like bring back Fish and make it all about her.

Burning_Monk posted:I liked Jerome's more manic zaniness. Jeremiah's subtle "rational" crazy just isn't as compelling. Yeah, there's something off about Jeremiah and I suspect he hasn't really gone off the deep end yet. If I was a writer for the show I'd have someone maybe Bruce try to kill him and Ecco ends up taking the bullet for him. That would be funny because then Bruce and Joker would both be the cause of each others' "One Bad Day" and if this isn't what happens I'll be disappointed.

Admittedly more happened than I was expecting, with Butch's death and all. I'm more nervous that this whole big "Everything is going crazy!" poo poo will wind up like when the inmates of Indian Hill escaped, where about 90% of it was resolved between seasons. And I gotta say, Barbara is doing her damndest to make this show unwatchable. This whole "gender war" thing she's been pushing all season has been pretty cringeworthy and childish.

Having Pennyworth set in the 60s seems really odd and it seems like it would like it just makes it a more expensive costuming/set decor/etc. cost unless they're going to play it a bit like some classic James Bond sort of thing or they've got some really specific reason in mind for that being the era.

Yea, a whole season of No Mans Land but without the interesting stuff would not be engaging. Oh another episode of Gordon trying to reason with one of the gangs, how fun.

So I haven't read batman comics in earnest in well over 20 years so I recognized the Man-Bat of course, but who were the doll-face mom and son killers?

That season finale was so good and I'm glad we're getting a final season but I'm pretty sure it's just going to make me want more I won't get and I don't know how to feel about that. Like for all its faults the cast is goddamn incredible and I want to see them do a legit Batman show we'll never see. SamuraiFoochs fucked around with this message at 02:42 on May 21, 2018 |

In hindsight it is pretty bizarre that they went through all that effort with recasting Poison Ivy again just for a couple of episodes.

Not even bringing Ivy back for "everyone carving out territories" is the among the weirdest choice they made.

The last shot of this show should be a shot of the Bat Signal in the sky, and it pans down to the police station roof top with Gordon's back to us. From off screen you hear a distinct gruff "Commissioner." as a shadow of a bat falls over Gordon. Gordon then turns around and reveals his mustache. END CREDITS.

They've already announced a new character showing up next season that got teased earlier this one the mustache.
