This is a truly great show, and I love it.
I'm a huge comic-book fan. I used to read them in the 60's
and 70's because I have three older brothers who got me
hooked on them. Superman and Batman were always my
favorites. I always loved the Batman movies, and I confess
that I used to love the awful and campy Batman TV show. I've
seen many of the later animated series as well. Gotham
follows in the fine tradition of those shows.
It's very dark and scary, as Gotham should
be. It's also quirky, weird, funny, passionate, and artsy.
It rises above the level of most TV shows. The acting is
fantastic and the writing is just really well done. This
doesn't surprise me, coming from the same creator as "The
Mentalist," another fine show that I love. I've been
watching it since the first
episode and my opinion has not wavered. We have a small
section of our site
devoted to it as well. I love star Ben McKenzie (Jim) ever
since "The O.C.,"
so I probably would have watched it regardless of how good
it was just because he's in it. I also loved Donal Logue
ever since his great FX show "Terriers." The rest are
just icing on the cake. It's a phenomenal cast.
Even though the show is about Batman's town
and villains, it's not really about him as a superhero
because he's still a young boy in the series. That's part of
the appeal of the show. Gotham is a corrupt city where the
only "hero" is Detective Jim Gordon. His failure is
linked to the rise of supervillains in Gotham, and that's
how Batman comes about. It's great to see how Batman and his
nemeses develop over time. I just hope the series is on for
a long time, so we can see that happen.
I read somewhere that some fans don't like
the actor who plays Bruce. I don't really understand that at
all. He's a really good actor, especially for his age. I
think he is a wonderful actor, and I look forward to seeing
what else he can do. He's in great company, and the series
never disappoints me.
I'm very glad to get the shows on DVD. The
set has tons of extras and features. More than you may have
time to watch! I really enjoy watching every little insight
from the writers, creator, producers, writers and actors on
the show. Season 2
starts soon and it's awesome, too!

Villains Along with

BURBANK, CA (June 4, 2015) –
With an average of 9.6 million viewers per week, Gotham
has captured and held the attention of audiences since
the premiere episode which delivered FOX’s highest-rated
fall drama debut in 14 years with Adults 18–49. Before the
series returns to FOX for a second season this fall, fans

2015. This season’s #2 broadcast drama among men 18-34 will

Before there was Batman, there was Gotham City. Everyone
knows the name of Commissioner Gordon, but what of his rise
from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it
take to navigate the layers of corruption in Gotham City,
the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains?
Gotham tells the story of the world’s most iconic DC
Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes from the very
beginning, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never
been told. From executive producer Bruno Heller (The
Mentalist, Rome), this crime drama follows GCPD
Detective James Gordon’s rise through a dangerously corrupt
city, while also chronicling the genesis of one of the most
popular DC Comics Super Heroes of our time. Although the
crime drama follows Gordon’s turbulent and singular career,
it also focuses on his unlikely friendship with the young
Bruce Wayne – with his mentorship a crucial element in
developing the mythology of Gotham City.
“We are thrilled to release Gotham: The Complete First
Season on Blu-ray and DVD for fans to explore the
unique origin story of Gotham and its characters” said
Rosemary Markson, WBHEG Senior Vice President, Television
