Gotham-Batman Prequel Series on Fox, Fall 2014

Really liking the crazy doctor at Arkam and his nurse assistant...

 

I loved Lori Petty's turn as Jeri/Joker. I hope her character gets more screen time. They had clips of Jerome
on the screen behind her when she performing at the club and a few people in the crowd had clown masks on.
Looks like the theory of him being inspiration for a future Joker is coming into fruition.

 

Agreed.

Nice seeing her back on the screen. I was trying to tell my wife about Lori being a fairly big star but she had never heard of her.

 

Petty also has a recurring role on Orange Is the New Black.

She had a run for awhile with A League Of Her Own and Free Willy.

I had a little crush on her since seeing her Point Break.



I think her career took a hit, after her first starring role in Tank Girl was a flop.

 

I was happy to see Lori Petty on last night's show. Her appearance appeared to be a nod to Harley Quinn, the Joker's girlfriend. Petty has worked on a DC Comics show before supplying the voice for Livewire on Superman: The Animated Series.

 

Was that Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) in next week's preview?

 

Forgot to mention. Ben McKenzie continues to be the weakest link in the show. His interrogation scene
with Lori Petty's character was cringe worthy. He tried to be menacing and just couldn't pull it off. I don't
remember him being such a bad actor in season one. It sucks because Gordon is such an important
character to the show. So, he's going to get a lot of screen time.

 

Yes. He was announced a few months back as playing Penguin's father.

 

Cool! I never heard that before. Thanks for the picture!

 

Didn't he play the Penguin's father in the first Batman movie? He's getting himself typecast.

Batman Returns - second Tim Burton batman film.

 

I knew it was one of those. That might have been the last Batman movie I saw until the Christian Bale ones.

You didn't miss much, unless you're really into nipples.

 

Last nights episode was great. I must have rewinded the rocket launcher part a half a dozen times.
Penguin is the man, Got to bring the right tool for the job.

 

Yes, it's been a good season altogether imo. Best of the comic book shows on broadcast television.

 

Jeez, could the kid playing Selina be any more beautiful!? She's literally growing up right before our eyes. Always thought it crazy cool that they picked an actress who's a dead ringer for a (very) young Michelle Pfiefer, whatever happened to her anyway?

 

This show has gone completely bonkers. I gotta say, they surprise me and turn things upside down every other episode. It's a very entertaining (albeit nutty as hell) show.

 

If you really paid attention at the near end of it walking out the last of Patients..
I seen one patient's to resemble Killer Croc cool.. green skin yellow eyes
snarling

 

I think she's also one of the best actors on the show. She makes Bruce Wayne's acting look kinda pathetic by contrast.

 

There is also a theory that it is Solomon Grundy. WB and DC have said they don't want characters to be on TV and in their
movie universe. The Flash being the major exception. Croc is in the Suicide Squad movie.

 

I wonder if the Joker will appear?

 

A boozka. Why didn't I think of that ?

 

Bazookas used on the bad guys this TV season (that I recall): "The Walking Dead", "Agents Of Shield" & "Gotham".

 

Loved the ending with Penguin and Butch showing up..

 

A bit behind here in the UK I think but its a really enjoyable show. I can't stomach much superhero stuff these days but always liked Batman. That said I can't work out who is the hammiest actor out of the bloke playing Hugo Strange and the one playing Galavan...
