I've never seen the Catwoman movie but when I heard about how bad it was, all I could think was that it couldn't have been as bad as that scene in Daredevil where Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner fight in the school playground while the kids watch and cheer. Then I saw this:

Final episode of the season sees Alfred, Bruce and Gordon standing in stately Wayne Manor's one room. They all excuse themselves saying they have a surprise to prepare for the others. They leave the room and all three return at the same time in white make-up with insane grins, green hair and purple suits and shout,"That's right it's me, I'm the Joker!"

Final 30 seconds of the episode are the three of them just staring awkwardly at each other, cut to credits and a voiceover saying,"That was the final episode of Gotham, please join us next week for our exciting new drama series: Rich White Kids Discover They're Special."

I laughed way harder then I should have at this and whenever I'm feeling down from now on I'm going to imagine this ridiculous hilarious scenario

Actually, I'm betting that years will pass between seasons so we might get to see that. The showrunners want it to go for 5-7 seasons and have stated that the show will end when Batman shows up (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2014/09/19/fox-gotham-batman/15457671/), so they'd have to make some huge leaps in the Gotham timeline. Interested to see the plan.
I'm really looking forward to seeing young Bruce training to become The World's Greatest Detective - in much more detail than they gave in the most recent movie reboot.

Joker is the ultra-rare bubblegum card. The writers are that annoying kid on the playground who will not stop talking about his mint-condition card collection. You will NEVER see the Joker as he's way too cool to risk taking to school. The kid might name drop other cards in his collection but seeing as how he doesn't do much with the cards he *does* display you kinda have to wonder whats the point of it all.

Tortured metaphors aside, they really need to give Gordon some more personality.

Yup, he was shot along with his parents. A family of bats hollowed him out and wore him as a skin suit. This is a story about a bunch of bats pretending to be a billionaire who will grow up to pretend to be a bat.

Why? That's pretty clever in my opinion, in doing something new with the character. Hell of a lot more interesting than half a pair of corrective lenses. If you've never played the game, then you haven't seen how they pulled it off. Nicely done.

Besides, when it comes to being monocled, Uncle Pennybags and Mr. Peanut have already stolen the show.

Well I played Asylum and City, I just don't remember him using a discarded piece of trash as eyewear. Origins is on my hard drive, should I play that to succinctly understand why shoving the bottom of a glass bottle into your face is an inspired idea? I barely played the intro.

He had it in City, I believe. Remnants of a bar brawl. Took both his attacker's eyes afterwards. I'm think the story was that he couldn't remove it lest he destroy the nerves in his eye and rendering it completely useless or some such reason. At least it's somewhat of an explanation. Medically accurate ... *sigh.* But if you're thinking that it was a fashion statement then yes, it sounds completely ridiculous. He was also English in that version of the character. The last two statements have no relation.

Its not that he did it himself, the idea is that someone stabbed him in the face with the bottom of a bottle during a bar brawl. I always thought that was an interesting take on his monocle as well - adds a little background, makes him seem a bit more serious and believable as a street thug, and isn't just a weird upper-class affectation like in other versions.

I appreciate that they were trying to do something interesting with the monocle, but whenever I saw the Penguin in that game, I could only ever think about how disgusting the inside of that thing would be.
