If you liked the Christopher Nolan Batman movies but like they were less grim , more outlandish , serialized into a television set show , and star Ben “ Ryan Atwood ” McKenzie , you might wish Gotham , Fox ’s stylish new drama set in an particularly baroque , violent avatar of Gotham City .
Bruce Wayne is just a kid , but his parent have already been remove , and not - yet - commissioner James Gordon ( McKenzie ) is on the eccentric . If you ’re a devotee of the Batman universe , there are lot of familiar faces : young Catwoman , young Penguin , and young Riddler are all getting their origination write up told on a weekly cornerstone . Here ’s a little portraiture of the Penguin as a young ( sinister ) human being :
I like Gotham because it walks a line between taking its superhero world gravely ( the child - kidnapping scoundrel in the first few episodes are truly shuddery ) and run low the Joel Schumacher Zea mays everta camp itinerary ( the baddie in the third installment kill people by attaching them to weather balloon ) .
If you ’re a diehard Batman fan , the patency of the supporting fictional character like Ivy might annoy you ( and if you ’re a meteorologist the whole balloon plot is just directly up silly ) . Gotham might finish of sheer too much into cheese - poofy fatuousness , but right now , I ’m enjoying the balance of grittiness and pulp .
What I ’m not savour is Adam “ Seth Cohen ” Brody ’s career trajectory . What the infernal region , humanity ! Why does McKenz apprehend this lead theatrical role and you’re … I do n’t even love what you ’re doing . Stay secure , Adam Brody . Your Brodynaissance will come .
Gotham air on Fox , Fridays at 9/8 CST .
