I've never written for a serial drama and I don't have the answer, but it pains me the way so many of these shows that have so much potential can't find a way to exist without being a police procedural … Figure it out and entertain me, damn it. lol

Mostly people who prefer the Christopher Nolan films.

Everything that guy does is art.

I may be in the minority here, but the Burton films are my favorite of the bunch, and I do see some similarities. If Gotham can find a way to make a modernized TV episodic version of that work, I'm all in. (Full disclosure: I haven't seen "The Wire" … yeah, I know. I know).

Campy and gritty can work together, if it's done right. Not to bring up "Batman Returns" (I know I may be in the minority, but it's my freaking favorite), but the camp-grit combo was done to perfection in that film. I'm giving Gotham more time to work this out.

Exactly. I agree with you.

If journalists had access to future technology, I'd assume we'd all have better jobs, and, in effect, not be journalists. A paradox!

I was so flummoxed by this comment that I signed up for a disqus account just so I could reply to it. We watched this movie so many times growing up that Eddie Valiant was like a drunken reprobate uncle to me.
