Now if only someone got him to play a live-action Lex Luthor.

Thank God someone finally said this! I actually can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see it.

I'm no pop culture expert, so I can't comment on why westerns went out of fashion; but as far as superhero films are concerned, it seem to me that the demand is likely to go down slowly with time, rather than fade out altogether. Right now people queue up to watch these films, but if the saturation continues, ten…

I'm not familiar with it, actually. Is it a just a rip-off of the Superman triangle, or is it actually interesting? Not that the two things are mutually exclusive, of course.

"What? You think Batman can't beat Superman? CancerAids be upon you, sir!"

Oh, I don't know. I enjoyed it, in a B-movie or made-for-TV movie kind of way. Some parts were so cheesy, they almost seemed deliberately so, like the filmmakers were just fucking with us.

'Definitely not to the level of "god, please make it stop" like Gotham'

Also, no biggie if you disagree :) People's different viewpoints about this show are what make it half as interesting to me.

'Have you read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House in a Serious World?'

I, for one, loved Burton's Batman films, especially Batman Returns, which in my opinion was a work of surrealistic genius (so obviously it fared poorly at the box office). And Gotham is clearly influenced by Burton's iconography. But here's the thing: Burton made the smart choice when he made only his heroes and…

Ugh, the thought of 20 seasons of Gotham gives me ulcers.

Yeah, it's clever and all, but we get some reference in just about every Flash episode when it's not really necessary. They need to develop Flash's world first before they start developing the larger superhero world. Gotham does the same thing, but like you pointed out, it's far less cleverly done, so it comes off as…

"Subtlety at the CW?"

So basically a rehash of the Superman-Lois Lane-Clark Kent triangle. Ugh, so do not want to see that. I mean, seriously, actors with excellent chemistry like Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve could pull that off, but Grant Gustin and Candice Patton? Chemistry, they have not.

If that mugger had been capable of putting two and two together like that, he wouldn't need to be mugging people in the first place.

Love this scene! I laughed my head off when I first saw it. I even told my manager about it at work, raving about how surreal and sublimely ridiculous it was. He didn't get it at all. Instead, he pointed me towards a short fiction piece he had written, saying that was what surrealism was supposed to be. That's when I…

Remember the 2005 Fantastic Four film? Even with a 100 million dollar budget, Mr Fantastic's stretching powers looked like really shitty cartoon CGI. So yeah, I don't think this show could make Elongated Man's powers work.

The point I was trying to make was that in the pre-New 52 canon, Batman didn't start off knowing Catwoman's identity; she was only a petty thief that he kept running into from time to time. But if we take Gotham to be an Elseworld's version (or a current iteration, as Adam Frey said) of the Batman mythos, it's OK if…

Really? It made me cringe. What a lazy reference. Plus, it also made me sad because it clearly indicated that Superman does not exist in this universe.

I agree with a lot of the stuff you said, but reading your post was like running into a wall of text. Line breaks next time, please.
