Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.

shades of eternity posted:

by making Gordon a bounty hunter, they are only confirming how much dead weight he is.

They've kinda broken his progression to chief of police by making him do so many bad things.

Like, he was supposed to be a paragon of justice in a city full of corrupt cops and any prequel Batman show should be showing how he's basically the best thing that Gotham has, but is still limited by rules and laws while the city gets more and more hosed.

Hell, the last season had the rise of supervillains, the perfect vehicle to show that while he's making (slow) progress in cleaning up the GCPD from the inside, the deck is ultimately stacked against him as he can't do dick about people with powers and an insane asylum with a revolving door of corruption.

Imagine, if we had that kind of Gotham we'd probably end up with some kind of powerful scene later in the show where he actually has to compromise his beliefs in order to allow Batman to do what needs to be done. Instead, Gordon is pretty much just Batman V0.1 just now.
