GOTHAM (Season 3 Premieres Sept. 19)

[Cyke_out]

These Superhero shows without the Superhero's just don't interest me. I don't care for this or The Shield.

But Vic Mackey is the fucking man!

I'll check it out, but if DC isn't making an interconnected universe here then there's bound to be some viewer confusion (and a huge wasted opportunity).

 

[Kanster]

What's the point without Bats.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Are they going to make up new badguys for Gordon?

Why not do Nightwing instead? Dick Grayson is still young, and hip. You can do much much more with him than the old man Gordon. Plus his rogues gallery is much more substantial than Gordon. That is if Gordon has a rogues gallery.

i just heard about this. interesting but i will remain apprehensive. could be really good though. ive heard elementry is cool. take that, make it the batman universe and i would tune in. all detective shows are the same right?

 

[surf fu]

This sounds fucking awesome.

I always thought a crime drama like Law & Order or Southland could work in the Batman universe.

DC has not demonstrated an ability to create a cohesive universe. This is going to get very confusing.

Lmao, don't know why I said that I meant Agents of Shield. Hell, I'll watch it if Vic was in it.

 

[tinobar]

soooo its not based of gothan central.....

 

[Uncommon Valor]

Sounds interesting.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Hopefully it'll be good and won't go the way of 'Birds of Prey.'

Fox's Action/adventure shows have a tendency of having great pilots and first seasons.... then they fall to shit and are quickly cancelled.

Also, anyone remember a few years ago there was talk of a Punisher TV series? Thank god that didn't work out.

Can you imagine if HBO did Punisher?

Oh yeah. We almost got a Punisher (ala Dexter) who is also a cop.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Can you imagine if HBO did Punisher?

...and adapted the Garth Ennis's Punisher MAX arcs?

Would be freaking awesome.

But, chances are we'd get a watered-down network-friendly Punisher... which is why I'm glad we stopped hearing anything about it.

No, this was only a few years ago... 3 or 4 at the most. People were immediately comparing it to Dexter.

You mean this one?

Fox Developing PUNISHER TV Series

Fox has bought an hour-long drama from ABC Studios based on The Punisher, expanding Marvel

 

[fatalis]

Cool, will be monitoring this thread

 

[Organic Damage]

So they're going to make a police procedural starring pre-Commissioner Gordon, but no Batman? What's the hook? Isn't the whole point of Gotham needing Batman that the cops alone can't cope with the nutcases, and that Batman's arrival only ups the ante as far as the criminals go?

I think I'd rather just watch Law & Order.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Can you imagine if HBO did Punisher?

Id be SO thrilled with this

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Punisher be better on Starz or whoever does Spartacus. Better action, more nudity . . .
