September 30, 201412 yr Haven't watched yet. To many shows, not enough time. And don't forget we have the season premier of Arrow coming as well as the debut of The Flash.
September 30, 201412 yr Have seen both episodes and thought it was solid each time. Will continue to watch
October 1, 201412 yr I personally felt like the second episode was a little on the slow side...but it wasn't bad. I'm interested to see what combination of the various comic arcs they use to write the Dollmaker character, because they could make him an EXTREMELY twisted villain.
October 1, 201412 yr I love the show so far, but I have a question. I thought Barbara Gordon was Batgirl, and she was Commissioner Gordon's daughter, not wife?
October 1, 201412 yr By the way a little funny story to tell on my boy. He has watched the 1st two episodes with me. Last night as we were watching this week's episode when he saw the girl playing the future Cat Woman he let out a big " Hubba Hubba". :lol2::lol2:
October 1, 201412 yr Author I love the show so far, but I have a question. I thought Barbara Gordon was Batgirl, and she was Commissioner Gordon's daughter, not wife? The Barbara on this show is not his wife. At least not yet. Her name is Barbara Kean. From what I'm seeing on Wikipedia, in the comic books, Barbara Kean-Gordon is Jim Gordon's ex-wife. Barbara "Babs" Gordon is his adopted daughter/Batgirl.

I didn't know if they were going a different route with it or not.

October 1, 201412 yr Watched this week's episode last night and definitely enjoyed it. Is the dollmaker a real character from previous Batman stories/comics? I don't remember ever hearing about them before. The idea of them stealing children was a little unsettling.

I don't remember ever hearing about them before. The idea of them stealing children was a little unsettling. The Dollmaker has occurred as a more developed character in a couple of later Batman/Gotham City arcs. The arc I was more familiar with made him out to be a kind of like Hannibal Lector meets the Unibomber. I read up on him a bit after his mention in Monday's episode of Gotham, and apparently he was a sort of "one and done" villain back in the 60s in a different DC book as well.
October 1, 201412 yr So far, so good. The highlight of the show for me is the relationship between Gordon and his partner. Logue is such an amazing actor. I feel at times I'm being hit over the head with some of this stuff. Yes, I get it, Selina Kyle will be CATwoman and yes the Riddler likes riddles. But it's definitely not to the point where I'm annoyed.
October 1, 201412 yr Not a big comic book fan, but I'll watch anything with Donal Logue ( I still hate that they cancelled Terriers after just one season). Thought last nights episode was pretty good. It is probably a show that I will continue to watch.I miss Terriers very much.
