Balloon man was loving terrifying. Crazy chemicals that make you go insane, that is purely comic book stuff. Some guy that randomly attaches balloon to you until you float off into the air and die? That's real poo poo that could happen to you!

Kind of odd how both Arrow and Gotham have gone with Nyssa over Talia (yes Talia eventually showed up but Nyssa was on there longer.) Also funny how they both went with Spartacus actors for Nyssa.

"The White Shadow"
Shane West seems to be doing a Tom Hardy Bane impression the whole time which I'm not stoked about. I was hoping they would interpret Bane in a completely new and different/interesting way that didn't just copy the Tom Hardy movie version, and I think the showrunners and costume designers did a great job with that (making him more of a cyborg-man and not even mentioning or including the Venom drug at all) but West just kind of did what seemed to be a Tom Hardy Bane impression the whole time which was kind of disappointing and felt unoriginal.

On the plus side, Barbara duel-wielding pistols and killing goons while in the middle of going into labor was absolutely hilarious and is exactly the sort of thing that I watch and love this show for. That was gold.

I was very glad that they decided to make that lady be Nyssa Al Ghul and not Talia Al Ghul. I was seriously worried for awhile that she was going to be Talia and I was like "oh man this is seriously weird that she is like a 34 old old woman interacting with 16 year old Bruce when they're supposed to bang and have a child together in the future" but thankfully they avoided that.

That seems to be where they got most of their inspiration from here, as well as the last Nolan movie. Doctor Strange, Al Ghul's daughter, blowing up Gotham. With Bane and Catwoman on the side.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I’m in season 3 and Bruce just killed Alfred and none of this makes sense. Why would the leader of the court need to do this complicated thing of cloning Bruce, teaching the clone to be Bruce, kidnapping the real Bruce, then training the real Bruce, and then killing everyone in the court, then sending Bruce back… when he could have just ordered them all to slit their own necks open and they would have done it without a second thought because these people are so brainwashed that they’ll cut their fingers off and eat it if you tell them to?

And also the leader can’t die (think he said something about hundreds of years) so what’s the point of an heir?

I'm not going to say that you're wrong for asking these questions, but I will point out that asking them is kind-of like asking why it is that a roller coaster that picks you up on one side of a platform and drops you off on the other side of the same platform has to go through such a long, winding, fast, stomach-churning, equilibrium-screwing path to accomplish that task.

By this point in the series, they've abandoned all but the last vestiges of real-world logic. They're operating on comic book rules now. Why is it needlessly complicated and ridiculous?

Because they got their ham, that's why.

Well, the problem is that the lead just isn't old enough. And that's a huge problem--you can't have BatAngstyTeen, or BatYoungMan. It's gotta be Batman.

I mean, how could a show like this work around the fact that this character simply isn't old enough to play a believable Batman? They can't just magically age him up! Twice!
