    Last night's episode was even better than the first.

    Penguin is a brutal psychopath.

    We got more cop drama and less comics references. Introduced a really twisted villian from Batman that they've yet to explain or show.

    Dollmaker is not you typical supervillain. He is more Silence of the Lambs than Batman and Robin which will work great for this show.

    If they get multiple seasons I hope they jump ahead a few years in each one.

    Gotham needs to just concentrate on Batman mobster rogue gallery.

    - Penguin
    - Roman Sionis - pre Black Mask
    - Maxie Zeus - No powers
    - Mob families Maroni and Falcone
    - Dollmaker
    - Professor Pyg
    - Maybe Jervis Tetch, The Mad Hatter
    - Victor Zsasz
    - Calendar Man
    - Deadshot
    - Hugo Strange
    - The Ventriloquist

    There are plenty of grounded Batman villians that are older and are really twisted.

    We don't need to see:

    Riddler
    Joker
    Killer Croc
    Scarecrow
    Bane
    Man - Bat
    Ras Al Ghul or Deathstroke as Arrow covers them.
    Poison Ivy
    Mr. Freeze
    Clayface

    Leave all.of them out of it please or the show will get dumb real fast.

    Maybe have younger version cameo or be mentioned like Ivy but for the love of god ignore them after that for this show to work...


    I know they are gonna **** it up.

    Totally agree with your entire post XO.

    They really could be on to something here if they play it right. But like you, I'm afraid the show could end up being its own worst enemy if they can't resist the urge to pack in as many well-known, but cartoon-ish, Batman villains as possible. The pilot sure made it seem like that would be the case. But to be fair, its not uncommon for pilots to be quite different than the remainder of a series.

    This has the potential to be the surprise hit show of the year.

    There's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. E.G. You don't have to have young Ivy with fire red hair, wearing all green, and stroking a plant. People who are familiar enough with Batman to know who Ivy is do not need to be beat over the head with it. It could've just been a little girl named Ivy and everyone would've known who that was supposed to be. Or at the very least people would be wondering "Is that supposed to be Poison Ivy?" Leave a little mystery to it.

    Just like with Riddler.... How cool would it have been if we would have seen this oddball character for several episodes BEFORE it was revealed his name was Edward Nigma? Instead right off the bat they have him telling a riddle and Harvey going "That Nigma sure isn't right in the head".

    Homeland starts back this Sunday. Can't wait. Last season was the worst thus far but I'm still all in. This has probably been my overall favorite show the past couple years.

    Walking Dead.... it's just tough to get too excited about it anymore. The last few seasons have been big letdowns IMO. This season does look to have potential though. I really hope it's going to bounce back. If I get 4 or 5 episodes in and it feels like more of the same BS I'm probably going to just throw in the towel on it, unfortunately.

    I bailed on Homeland.

    Ray Donovan has had a strong 2nd season.

    I'll watch Homeland and Walking Dead as long as they run them.
    The Knick is easily the best new show since True Detective.
    Looking forward to Gracepoint even though I saw the original version Broadchurch and it may not fluctuate in regard to the story much...

    Did anyone else follow The Killing all the way through to the end?
    I enjoyed that show in all of its seasons and I can't say I necessarily hated the finale but it was so out of left field that I was left kinda stunned.

    I haven't seen or heard anything on the new season of Homeland. It's actually nice to go in with no idea what will happen.

    Same here. I saw a very brief teaser months ago but it did not reveal much of anything.
