New Gotham Show

So I just watched the premiere episode of this show and that that it might be worth talking about.

In short, it's alright. The first episode was well done with nothing that bothered me but I'm not totally sold on it just yet. I liked the first one enough to watch a second episode but from there on out we'll see.

So the the people here from left to right are Gordon (future commissioner), Gordon's current partner, Alfred, Catwoman I guess, and Penguin.

I will say that maybe they could have picked a different actor for penguin. Penguin is supposed to be gross and ugly and perverted and fat. This guy has a little bit of a slimy side, and he has the pointy nose and some slightly messed up teeth so I guess you could say ugly. And in fairness he hasn't been around long enough for me to say if he is or is not perverted, but this guy trips really hard on the fat hurdle. He's a damn twig. Penguin is fat! He's fucking fat. Every damn interpretation of Penguin shows him as fat. Don't believe me? Take 4 seconds google "Penguin Batman". I was gonna put a bunch of pictures here to prove this point really really hard, but for some damn reason I'm having issues putting pictures where I want them. But seriously Penguin is fucking fat. The guy playing penguin is a damned twig. And that kinda bothers me. Like when the new guy playing James Bond was fuckin blonde. That annoyed me. But there is an arguable reason for that. But fine I suppose it doesn't have to be a perfect point for point retelling there's some artistic interpretation.

Very mild spoilers in this next paragraph.
The first episode is more or less what you might expect. There's the scene where a mugger shoots Bruce's parents. The rest of the episode handles the investigation of this crime. They show off some characters. Penguin (obviously) shows up, there's a small girl named Ivy, there's a catwoman-esq person who kinda hangs around in a few shots doing catwoman-esq things.

So yeah I see potential here. The first episode was fine. Nothing overly amazing, but it was well presented. So I'll watch the next one and see how things turn out. Anybody else watch it?

No review here either. Maybe next time guys and gals.
