I thought Gotham was decent last night, a little forced in the beginning to set up the story but overall, pretty solid.

Yeah, seeing the part that we already knew about played out again was bit tiresome but it had to be done. Otherwise can't complain.

So I'm not a comic reader, and my knowledge on Batman and most superhereos is limited. So I looked up some stuff on Wiki and noticed that "Barbara Gordon" turns in to "Bat girl". That would be cool, except Batman doesn't even exist yet and Barbara is a grown woman. Also, Batgirl is supposed to be the daughter of Commissioner Gordon.....sooo...??

 

Also, I had no idea Batman ever had a child either.

 

Comic history can change from artist to artist. Cannon changes for shows like this, the show "Smallville" didn't follow the history of the comic very closely, because they needed to stretch it out for the show

I get that it changes, like I assume we will never see Mr. Freeze ever again, but it seems weird to have Barbara Gordon still exist in the new series, but have her role completely change. It's like making Robin a character where he is actually Batman's uncle. Would seem bizarre.

Is Barbara Gordon the daughter of Jim? Because that's what she is supposed to be, and given that Jim is supposed to be relatively young in the series, it doesn't make sense that he would have a kid older than Bruce Wayne

 

Edit: after reading Gordon's wiki, his wife (Barbara kean gordon)and daughter are both Barbara. His daughter becomes Batgirl. So far they are staying cannon

Ok, I think I've finally gotten it figured out after reading more Wikipedia.

 

So apparently Commissioner James W. Gordon has a wife named Barbara Gordon. They end up having a son together, also named James Gordon. Then they get divorced and Barbara Gordon ends up giving birth to a girl, and they ALSO name her Barbara. And THAT is the one that becomes Batgirl.

 

So they each named their kids after themselves. What a confusing and dumb thing. So the Barbara Gordon we see now is the mother of the Barbara Gordon who becomes Batgirl, and the mother of the villain that becomes James Gordon.

Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will be the 2 stars in True Detective next season

 

Think Vince is the big bad. They're still trying to cast Colin's partner.

 

Gotham was 2 hours last night? Hate that.

 

Nm, Comcast screwed up run time on demand.

Now when does the Joker shoot Barbara Gordon, rape her, and leave her crippled?

 

Yes, DC Comics can be dark, btw!

I just discovered this awesome show on Netflix called "The X-Files", I believe. Some weird show about unexplainable phenomena. They must be trying to rip off Fringe or something. It was filmed in 4x3 (weird), but it still looks good!

 

Anyway, if you get a chance to check it out, you really should. I can't believe I've never given it a shot before this morning!

Not the most intense episode but lots of "setting up plot lines for the whole season".

 

The tone and style of this episode was a 180 from last year. No cheesy lines, no "we are family", the CGI for the Absorbing man was really well done, and the story moved significantly.

 

I also had a little Raiders of the Lost ark feeling when they went into the storage facility looking for the box. I am very interested to see where that metal McGuffin goes.

Hi, white man and white man. Will your show be about catching another white man that commits sex crimes against women?

 

Way to mix it up, HBO.
