TV Series Worth Watching.

[Kingy]

Have we mentioned 'Gotham' yet? I think it re-starts in US tonight after mid season break.

Quote:In crime ridden Gotham City, Thomas and Martha Wayne are murdered before young Bruce Wayne's eyes. Although the idealistic Gotham City Police Dept. detective James Gordon, and his cynical partner, Harvey Bullock, seem to solve the case quickly, things are not so simple. Inspired by Bruce's traumatized desire for justice, Gordon vows to find it amid Gotham's corruption. Thus begins Gordon's lonely quest that would set him against his own comrades and the underworld with their own deadly rivalries and mysteries. In the coming wars, innocence will be lost and compromises will be made as some criminals will fall as casualties while others will rise as supervillains. All the while, young Bruce observes this war with a growing obsession that would one day drive him to seek his own revenge as The Batman.

I was mithered by my young lad Samee (11 yrs) to watch this. I was sceptical, but in truth it's very good. You are introduced to a young Jim Gordon and many of the future villains (Penguin, Poison Ivy etc etc) alongside present 'baddies' like Falcone and some new to the public ones for this earlier era. It's dark, but not as dark as the Bale trilogy. In a nutshell if you have liked any of the Batman films (and particularly the recent ones) you will enjoy this series.
