Gotham is a live-action 表示する that was done によって Fox. The show, which had five seasons, premiered in 2014. The 表示する takes place before James Gordon was the Commissioner and before Bruce Wayne became Batman.
My expectations for the show:
Before watching the show, I had a lot of doubts and complaints about the show. I absolutely 愛 Batman, so I want the world to have as much バットマン content as humanly possible. However, a バットマン 表示する that took place before Bruce ever became バットマン seemed baffling to me. After all, isn't seeing バットマン the reason people watch バットマン shows? Also, I had become used to Gordon being a supporting character who didn't do much, so he didn't seem like the character who should be the protagonist of a show. I feared that the 表示する would be a bland drama about the police force, instead of being a superhero show. I was very hesitant to watch Gotham. I feared that it just wouldn't work.
After seeing Gotham:
I'm happy to admit that I was wrong about Gotham. It can't be denied that Gotham is a strange show, but being strange isn't a bad thing. After all, the バットマン franchise has always been a little odd, but in the best way.
While Gotham is a police show, it's so much もっと見る than just that. Gotham takes advantage of the fact that it's a prequel によって fitting in as many early versions of バットマン villains as possible, in addition to 表示中 the early years of Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne. The 表示する gives the characters storylines that last throughout the seasons, so it gives room for lots of character development. Gotham is also a 表示する that's loaded with surprises. It does several things differently from 前 versions of Batman.
Gotham could be considered a number of things, including a detective show, a police drama, a バットマン origin story, a wacky showcase for the rogues gallery and more. While the shifts in tone might sound jarring, the 表示する manages to fit in several genres in an effective way.
James Gordon is an unusual person to be the protagonist of a series, but Gotham manages to make Gordon an interesting protagonist. He is 与えられた もっと見る development, complexity and depth than almost any other version of Gordon from the past. Ben McKenzie proved himself to be a great leading man. He helped make Gordon a well-intentioned, but conflicted person with lots of conflict to deal with. He has strong chemistry with Donal Logue's Harvey Bullock, who provides a lot of humor to the show.
Although Gordon might be the protagonist, Bruce Wayne is a major character in this show. This 表示する takes place shortly after Bruce's parents were murdered, so this version of Bruce is much younger than the other live-actions versions of Bruce. David Mazouz gives a very convincing person as Bruce. Despite his young age, Bruce feels ready to start making a difference. Sean Pertwee goes a great job as Alfred Pennyworth. Although he often gives Bruce a lot of tough love, he always comes across as a caring guardian.
Gotham is full of interesting villains. Some of them are mob bosses, like 魚 Mooney, Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni. It would be easy to make the mob bosses boring in comparison to the colorful rogues, but the great 芝居 and intriguing storytelling manage to make the non-costumed rogues interesting in their own right.
As for the costumed villains, they get a lot of time to shine. Robin Lord Taylor's Oswald Cobblepot, better known as the Penguin, remains a prominent villain throughout the entire show. This version of ペンギン is younger and less refined, but he proves himself to be a dangerous, manipulative mastermind. Another prominent rogue is Cory Michael Smith's Edward Nygma, better known as the Riddler. The love/hate relationship between ペンギン and Riddler is a creative, fun addition.
Something I appreciate about Gotham is that it gave screentime to lots of underrated バットマン characters. The 表示する featured the first live-action appearance of Professor Hugo Strange. Hugo Strange is one of the first バットマン villains to ever be created, so seeing him get a major storyline in this 表示する was a true treat. BD Wong made Hugo Strange both intimidating and entertaining. Frank Gorshin has played the Riddler and has voiced Hugo Strange, so the fact that Gotham had Riddler and Strange interacting meant a lot to me. The 表示する lets other underrated rogues shine, including the Mad Hatter, Professor Pyg, the Dollmaker and more.
Since Gotham takes place before Batman, some of the classic バットマン villains haven't yet become supervillains. The 表示する explores what Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Ivy Pepper (Poison Ivy) and Harvey Dent (Two-Face) were like before they started doing villainous things.
Since the Joker is Batman's biggest enemy, あなた might be wondering if he's in the show. Well, he sort of is. Cameron Monaghan plays two different characters, both of whom have several of the Joker's attributes. While neither character is called the Joker, the ファン often consider Cameron Monaghan to be a great Joker actor.
The show's visuals are an appealing aspect of the show. The realistic look of the police force, combined with the colorful look of the bad guys, equals a very interesting sense of visual style. The show's strong 音楽 also helps make the show's colorful atmosphere shine through.
Overall:
I need to stress the fact that Gotham is NOT a kid's show. The 表示する has several forms of graphic violence, so it's not a 表示する that younger viewers should be watching.
As for adults, Gotham is an interesting, creative and entertaining take on the バットマン franchise. It's unlike anything that's come before, so it's a memorable, fresh 表示する that gives バットマン ファン a lot of surprises.
