Is that Azrael or Red Hood?

The second season has been way better than the first. No more Fish Mooney, Gordon is just some grumpy dad, it's just more but better.

>>79844686
You're allowed to like both, you know.

Whoever thought Gordon needs to go through some kind of Vic Mackey-style moral corruption storyline should be shot. You can't spend an entire first building your character as the modern day version of Jack Webb from Dragnet and then suddenly decide in S2 that his emotional state of mind over what he does is important.

It's incredible the amount of weapons-grade horseshit this show peddles. At this point I'm only watching it for the trainwreck quality and baby Bruce, who's probably the best-realized and written character on the show.

I haven't watched the CW ones because they seem super corny. Like Gotham season two. I'm a big Batman fan and "city of Gotham" fan, the show is just crap.

>>79845134
I just offered my condolences to everyone who watches Gotham. There is no need to get upset when I'm being nice.

source on pics?

>>79844848
Azrael was the guy that took over for Batman. Can't replace Batman before Batman. You read a comic.

they were promised Gotham and instead got ham

>>79844787
The writers decided that Gordan as a good cop constantly drowning in the sea of corruption was one of the reasons why people hated Gotham.

And it's true.

How fucking long could they keep recycling the story given that it's one of the chief aspects of the character (Gordan pissing in the river of the corrupt GCPD), pre-Batman? Even post-Batman?

Corrrupt cop James Gordan at least isn't a human punching, the world's most impotent bitch who can't win ever. And it helps make Gotham it's own beast, which is why season two has been an improvement over season one.

Because it's a Batman show without Batman.

>>79846059
It's not a Batman show.

It's Gotham, which is its own thing.

>>79845898
The Azreal during KnightFall was not the first Azreal.

>>79844645
Gotham was already ridden with crime when Bruce became Batman, that was the REASON why he became Batman.
Are you honestly braindead? Are you one of those edgy kids who go "hurr durr Batman is crazy and created all his villains, Gotham is worse off with him because of all the crime he creates while fighting crime"?

>>79844704
>It's supposed to be stupid
One thing I learned as an artist, if I need to use this excuse to save my ass from criticism, my art fucking sucks and I failed.
If it was indeed "supposed" to be stupid, if it was good at it it would succesfully communicate it to the audience.

Obviously, it fucking doesn't.

>>79846860

I mean the show tries to go for intentional camp a lot of the time, but then it decides we should care about the emotional arc of the characters at the same time even though all of them are dumb cartoons.

>>79846860
Here's another thing artists should learn: sometimes, the audience is stupid.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail.

Because sometimes you get hammered, and sometimes you get nailed.

>>79846926
Audience is never stupid.
If your audience is too "stupid" for your art, that is YOUR mistake in picking the bad audience.

If you give 8-year old boy copy of Watchmen and he says it's boring and will go back to reading Captain Underpants, are you gonna call him stupid for not understanding it? No, you were mistaken in giving book to a wrong person.

>>79847068
Instances where you actually get to PICK your audience are rare, especially in television.

You don't pick the audience, the audience picks you.

Fuck all ya'll haters. I'm down for this costume, AND i'm down for him coming back.

... Are you literally not aware of concept of "audience target"? Indeed, Cartoon Network has no choice but to produce cartoons, because for some reason kids just wont stop watching their channel.God knows they tried to put them off as hard as they could, with overly violent series like Samurai Jack and Powepuff Girls, but kids thought it was awesome! Then they tried with the live action shows, still didn't work! Kids just won't stop watching the channel, and CN changes execs so often because they commit suicide from the fact that all they wanted was to make a 24/7 hentai channel and they would get away if it wasn't for those meddling kids!

Anon, nothing wrong with watching what you enjoy, good for you,

That doesn't make it good though. Doesn't mean you have bad taste or anything, but it's not because you like it that's it's even decent.

>>79847324
>>79847161
In case you didn't get it - if you pitch a show to Fox, you pick an audience - one of Fox viewers. And you should strive to make the series that people that watch Fox, at the time of your timeslot, will enjoy.

>>79847324
You don't always hit that target audience.

The existence of an image board dedicated to the discussion of children's entertainment exclusively for adults is a testament to that.

>>79845159
You're neither of these things. The show hits the "city of gotham" perfectly aside from some very minor timeline issues. But as the age of Bats' villains has been consistently INCONSISTENT, that doesn't bug me one bit.

>>79846803
Amen. I like how Bruce is the one sole ray of hope in this show, and even Gordon is turning into the Punisher with Judge Dredd as his boss. It's pretty awesome.

>>79846803
>Are you one of those edgy kids who go "hurr durr Batman is crazy and created all his villains, Gotham is worse off with him because of all the crime he creates while fighting crime"?

It's not really the invention of edgy kids when that very plot point comes up in B:TAS, is it? Before Batman crime was the mob and institutional corruption, not people who dressed up like a fucking clown.

Because it's unwatchable garbage.
It's not good at being serious, it's not good at being campy.
Anyone who says it's "in the vein of Burton's Batman movies" is a fucking idiot.

>>79847460
>Gotham has a more accurate Captain Cold than the Flash
how about that?

From
>"Its a show about Batman before he was Batman and villains before they were villains!"
To
>"Its a show about Batman before he was Batman and villains."

>>79847440
That's fringe audience, and that's also one you pick.
By making show based on DC Comics Gotham, you pick fringe audience of DC Comics/Batman fans. Orr not so fringe, considering how mainstream Batman is lately. So yeah, we're going into finetuning your audience, you can pretty much decide exactly who's going to watch this series - Fox viewers that like Batman and crime series, for example.
We could further define it to be usually men, most commonly white, aged 20-30.

>>79847290
I love the '66 influence in this costume.

>>79847528
There's various takes on it. That's one, but that hasn't really ever been true in the comics. The one the series operates on is that Gotham itself is a cursed place that erodes the sanity of its citizens.

>>79847528
Yeah, but it's always considered to be ambiguous and it's always contrasted with the fact that Gotham always was crime ridden, it's just supervillains that started showing up after Batman - and even that is only one version, based on Millers' Year One.
Treating the concept as some ubeatable truth and assuming because Batman created SOME of his supervillains, doesn't mean Gotham was a nice city before he took up the cowl.

>>79847534
it's in the vein of Burton's Batman movies

>>79847534
It's Megacity One on a small scale. If you don't like it, cut your balls off. You aren't using them anyway.

>>79847886
It's funny how people say this when babby Bruce is possibly the most accurate live action Batman we've had. The borderline autism, doing actual detective work, and establishment of his morals make him so much better than Baleman.

Because it literally has no reason not to be a full on Gotham Central show except stubbornness and company politics.

Batman threw (or accidentally pushed) the Red Hood into some chemicals and created the Joker.

>>79850536
He meant Gotham has no Joker. There was character older than Bruce (highschool age) had all the characteristics of Joker but got stuck like a pig. Then there was a red Hood bank robbing gang but all took the bullet. My point is that Gotham had some characters you think are going to be Joker but they die.

Personally I think the Joker is still some kid seeing these criminals on TV and using them to base his personality aka Joker on

Because its a dumb unecessary concept

>>79847924
why didn't they just make a Gotham Central show instead of this shit?

You'd think with all the Batman stuff that has been released in this decade alone, people like you would live off of it for a lifetime.

>The stupidest idea ever

Just cause you can't grasp something doesn't make it stupid, it makes you stupid.

Say what you want about Gotham but you can't say that the set design/atmosphere of the show is crap.

The city feels like another character imo.

>>79858242
Why would it? Just use Batman sparingly as a plot device. Show him as a urban legend or something, and the varying views on police working with a vigilante can be used as a good thing for characterisation.

>>79858363
Batman was the birth of a new level of crime in Gotham, before him it was just Mafia/Gangster crap but apparently it was Jim fucking Gordon that started it

>>79858445
Because most people would automatically bitch and moan about wanting more Batman, and not just two second cameos.

>>79858497
well sure, if we completely ignore the fact that Alan Scott fought costumed crime in Gotham decades before Batman. And all Batman did was give birth to popularization of super crime after he started dismantling the crime families and created a power vacuum for freaks to take over. Gotham is largely about subverting that, where the rise of psychopath criminals gives birth for the need to Batman to exist in the first place.

>>79844528
Because it's the most directionless shit on TV.

>>79858641

It's only directionless if you're a dumbass. Your brand of direction is the CW shoes where the villain of the week is caught after 40 minutes but that's not before someone cries about their feewings.

Batman fighting the Riddler, or Scarecrow, or Penguin, or Two-face or the Joker or the Mad Hatter etc has never been about the physical challenge. He's about 15 in the show, 10 years would make most of them late 30's early 40's. Hardly geriatric.

In any other show, he would be "good badass". Gotham brings up that "good badass" sometimes breaks the law, too. Jim is very much trying to do the right thing, but in a place as fucked up as Gotham, sometimes that means stepping outside the law.

Jim and Bruce might as well become Batman and Robin at this point. And since Jim is Batman in the comics now, it's not so radical anymore.

Yeah, he struggles with playing it straight. He already kind of did in season 1 with his Penguin shehanigans, and in season 2, he developes more to cleaning up the town than toeing the line no matter what, which is more the Jim Gordon who will eventually work with Batman.

Not necessarily.
Gotham is like a horribly written Elseworlds where the retard writers are too fucking eager to do over the top villains all while keeping Bruce in middle school.

Azrael being around before Batman is actually a good idea, provides inspiration to Bruce

>50's
That describes literally no one

Mr Freeze has always been older than Bruce. And he's only like 15 here, in 5ish years he's likely gonna become Batman.

Don't know much about azrael, but Scarecrow we saw was Scarecrow's father and not him (although he got corrupted and will carry on the legacy)

Joker is about the same age as Bruce here, so it's not unlikely.

It's like a great elseworlds where Middle School Bruce has to deal with these over thetop villains

Damn, I gave up on this show after two episodes, but I fucking love Azrael. Did this show got any better?

>>79864660
It's gotten more focused on a freely flowing plotline.

There's way less of a villain of the week feel since there's just a main group.

>>79864764
Yes.

>>79844645

If I remember correctly, Azrael has been around since the middle ages.
