how thrilling

Groovy. She's pretty hot.

You know, Gotham, not every character NEEDS a backstory.

This show is only alive because of
>haha, you know these guys? I wonder who they will be in the future...
>>
>>83944459
Well, that and the fact that it's actually pretty good.
>>
Why can't they just have brand new characters that will die off, instead of eventually fighting bruce wayne. At least they didn't make vicki vale a "harriet the spy" tween who helps uncover a bribering in the mayors office.
>>
>>83944186
thought it was Jennifer Tilly for a second
>>
>>83944459
It actually became a good show, much better than what it was in season 1.
>>
>>83944580
Don't bother, he's made up his mind, he's not gonna watch it.

If you have low standards.

Gotham is the best show on television.

THE GREATEST BATMAN CHARACTER
>>
Aunt Harriet's aunt when
>>
>>83944186
isnt vale an english name?
>>
dini and smith's young batman show idea was a lot better
>>
>vicki vale's aunt
Why the fuck wouldn't you just use Vicki? Would it somehow tarnish her as a character to age her up the same way they have Penguin, Ridder and everyone else? Or is the reason simply to keep Vicki the same age as Bruce and force a fucking love triangle with them and Selina?
>>
>>83944777
Wait a minute...Catwoman, Poison Ivy...holy shit, they do keep all the women the same age as Bruce.
>>
>>83944777
>Bruce...fucking...them

I believe you answered your own question there, anon.

I for one, am looking forward to Bruce harem to double in size, so far it's only been Selina and Silver, the latter of which hasn't even appeared since the first half of S2. With Ivy and Vicki, we'll get more meaningful interactions between Bruce and other characters again.

That's because it's high quality self aware shlock.

So it is perfectly possible to watch one or two episodes, conclude that it's basically shlock, and dismiss it. But in doing so you're writing off some of the best X-ploitation shlock that's ever been on television. Every single episode has an "ahahaha they didn't really HOLY SHIT THEY DID" type moment, and those can be very appealing.

Give it another shot with season 2. It is bad. But not in a "bad" way or in a "so bad it's good" kind of way. No, it's more like they decided their genre was "bad noir shit" and then made it their mission to be the best bad noir shit that has ever existed. And holy shit if you accept it for what it is (a shock gallows humour copsploitation serial whose main character is a city) then you're gonna have a good time.
>>
>>83944186
Is that Chi-Chi from the Dragon Ball Evolution movie?
>>
Where is Kate Kane? You have an entire teen lesbian character who is related to Bruce and is actually relevant today and you choose just not to use her?
Like it seems like such an easy cash in
>>
>>83944614
it's better than Flash & Daredevil
>>
>>83947385
No, but it had the best S2 out of all of them.
>>
>>83944395

I think I want to see her backstory, if you know what I mean.
>>
>>83944475
>it's actually pretty good
No. IT COULD be, but not as it is now.
>>
>>83947261
>Where is Kate Kane
She's probably a sperm at this point.

>>83947443
I'd love to see how you'd improve it.
>>
>>83944596
Continually mispronouncing his fucking name...
>>
>>83947459
They could stop pulling stories out of their ass for one. The comics gave them shitloads of backstory and they give us "Ivy Pepper". Fuck.
>>
>>83947514
You can't just straight up adapt a Batman story if Batman isn't even around.
>>
>>83944186

Was hoping she'd be Colleen Wing on Marvel's Iron Fist show
>>
>>83947531
There's plenty of pre-Batman info about Gotham and its denizens in the comics, though.
>>
>>83947611
Name three. That are good.
>>
>>83944186
LET ME GUESS!
SHE'LL BE A REPORTER!
THANKS GOTHAM
>>
>>83947618
Not stories; info. Making it into good stories is up to competent writers.
>>
>>83947782
That's exactly what they've been doing though, you just don't like it.
>>
>>83947798
Taking characters that already exist and just making them young is not a substitute for making a compelling story.
>>
I wish they would just cancel this shit.
>>
>>83945045
>t's more like they decided their genre was "bad noir shit" and then made it their mission to be the best bad noir shit that has ever existed
That's pretty apt, actually.
>>
>>83948005
Get lost on your way to an Arrow thread?
>>
>>83944186
looks nice. don't know who she is, though
>>
>>83949471
She was Amber in Zack Snyder's masterpiece Sucker Punch.
>>
>>83944580
It did until they brought Fish Mooney back. Then quickly started to return.
>>
>>83944186
Does this show literally rely on as many cameos they can cram as possible or is there any plot to it or something?
>>
>>83950090
Mostly cameos.
>>
So like.
I take it the comic version of Vicki Vale isn't Asian at all right
I wonder why they chose this direction
I guess they just wanted a tetish Asian woman
>>
>>83947479

How does he pronounce it? Like French Fries?
>>
>>83945045
>(a shock gallows humour copsploitation serial whose main character is a city)

That's a pretty good summation. Gotham/NYC is really the star of the show, and my favorite thing about it is how they bring the "Dark Deco" vibe from B:TAS into real life.
>>
>>83947261

Living on-base with her dad, recovering from her abduction, the murder of her mother and apparent murder of her twin sister? Not that that's not a good reason not to tell her story, in fact, it's a great reason to use her.

>>83947459

Kate's not all that much younger than Bruce and could easily be written as roughly the same age without it being a problem.
