So not looking forward to this

Looks like they took a cue from Agent Carter and are trying to dig deep into the history and characters of the Batman story. I notice a theme with this going on with the new Krypton show too. I guess we will just have to see where it all goes. if they do half as good as Smallville, the first few seasons, it should be fine.

That's the first thing that came into mind when I saw the poster. Don't really care for Alfred beyond his relationship with Bruce.

No closed captions. Boooo! So...yeah.  This looks a lot like Bond.  It looks even more like Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, a BBC America miniseries starring Dominic Cooper about Ian Fleming's days with the Naval Intelligence Division during World War II.

Its like DC is backtraking their main superheroes origin stories, after Smallville we had Krypton, now after Gotham we had this series, it was a surprie to me that didn't take place in the medieval times following the Wayne ancestors.

A show no one asked for. Easily passable.
