13. GOTHAM

Piggybacking off the success of Smallville, creators sought to tell the story of Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman. The show also has a heavy emphasis on the GCPD and characters like Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock. The obvious question for some was why does the show even exist? Gotham had a chance to adapt the critically acclaimed comic series, Gotham Central but instead choose to try to catch lighting in a bottle again. The Smallville style just feels off here and many characters are portrayed inaccurately.

The key criticism of the whole thing isn’t even Bruce Wayne himself (actor David Mazouz does a decent job), it’s the fact that many of Batman’s villains exist, or are about to exist before Bruce becomes Batman. One of the most interesting things about the Batman mythos is the question of whether his existence caused the creation of Gotham’s worst villains. This is one of the key things that make up Batman and his world. There should always be the question of whether Batman is as dangerous as his villains and IF he’s responsible for their creation. Gotham now chooses to ignore this and instead toils in mediocrity.
