Yesterday, the Marvel TV series tie-in, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., premièred.
Yesterday, it was also coincidentally announced that FOX are going through with the new DC TV series tie-in, Gotham.
I’m kidding, of course it’s not a bloody coincidence, DC were being timely dicks. But it happened and the show’ll focus on the hard-working, oft-moustachio’d Commissioner Gordon.
Not the death-defying Gary Oldman James Gordon, but a younger Detective Gordon. One who hasn’t met Batman.
Don’t fucking expect Batman.
And definitely don’t expect Robert “Everybody Love Me” Downey Jr.
I could have said Iron Man, but I think internet dwellers get instant boners when they hear his name.
Too much? Is the amount of awesomeness too damn high, is it? Is it, meme people?
You know what? Don’t expect any superhero to make an appearance. It’s been said that Gotham will not feature any. However, we do get villains. Specifically “the villains that made Gotham famous”.
It seems like Gotham might be focussing on mob bosses like the Falcone family and probably other well-known Gotham residents. Maybe we’ll get the occasional “supervillain” like Calendar Man, Riddler and hopefully the Holiday Killer.
No announcements have been made as to who will be who since a bunch of networks have just finished bidding for it, but British writer Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome) is set to pen the script.
That’s all the information I have from my inside source.
Keep coming back for…stuff…I write. It’s not boring sometimes!
