Springfield Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So Ryan Atwood decided to become a police officer in Gotham after leaving the O.C.? Nice! He was also on Southland, a rather good gritty cop drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwback37 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pretty good first episode. Really liked the scene where young Bruce Wayne says he's glad his parents' killer is still alive because he wants to "see him again". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I always enjoy seeing Donal Logue, one of the finest actors of our generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I like how they introduced several of the villains early in the show. They know everyone knows the story, then they twist it to make you want to see the development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Pretty good, though Bullock seems a bit too corrupt. Still a really nice start for the show. Cobblepot and Falcone I especially liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Didn't watch but my money was on Falcone and Penguin being the big players right out of the gate, vis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Didn't watch but my money was on Falcone and Penguin being the big players right out of the gate, vis Falcone was an afterthought. Catwoman was first one out the gate and last one on it. She was still not the big player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It was alright but will they be able to keep enough in the long run? It felt like any other cop show to me, with the twist being it was set in the Batman universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Looked pretty good to me. See lots of potential. Will be interesting to see how they work in all those younger villians over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawBBQSauce Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I saw a 30 second sneak peak of this and it looked absolutely god-awful. Just like...painfully cheesy and bad. Didn't catch the pilot. I'd like to be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I really liked it. Considering I gave up on Sleepy Hollow late last season, this is a nice replacement. They weren't subtle with the villain references (riddles, milk, penguin, stand-up comedian, plants, etc.) but I'm sure that was intentional. I like that they weave them into Gordon's back story. I'm sure it will keep me interested for a while and I don't mind Gordon's girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldysknzfn1 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Not bad..I liked Jada Pinckett-Smith's role...I wonder how long she will last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Got around to watching last night...pretty good so far. Will see how long i cant stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Not sure how interested I am going to stay in this. It goes against the Batman mythos for all this stuff happening. I guess as an interesting and unique take on the period that is typically glossed over, I get it. I can't say I'm thrilled about it. I feel like Bruce is going to be too involved as are the villains. Their appearance as criminal adults will seem "yeah, I saw that coming 20 years ago" to the police and politicians which is odd to me. They'll have to keep a consistent and heavy use of the main players and known names because that's the only reason anybody would care...for the Batman universe twist on it. Anyway...we will see where this goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they've showed them all being so young, except for Penguin, it seems like it would be tough to integrate them into the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison Ivy introduced herself as "Ivy." That's not her name. Her name is Pamela Isley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
