Gotham is easily the most divisive comic book show on television these days. By and large, viewers love the Arrowverse shows. Daredevil and Jessica Jones are critical darlings that also create massive fan buzz. Lucifer had enough of a passionate fanbase to be rescued by Neflix when it was cancelled, and Preacher is proving that its audience is sustainable on the AMC Network, also home of ratings behemoth The Walking Dead. On the other hand, shows like Iron Fist and Inhumans were resoundingly rejected, with everyone in agreement that they were bad -- real bad.

But Gotham is another story entirely as it divides people down the middle: you either love it or you hate it. It has a dedicated core viewership that love it for its foibles, just as there are countless people ready to pour scorn upon it at any moment. The show has excellent production values and wonderful costuming. It has also given us fan-favorite interpretations of characters like Oswald Cobblepot and Edward Nygma (who were recently part of a storyline that was very important to the LGBT community). But it has also angered many fans with its disregard of Batman continuity and sometimes laughable writing/acting. We tend to fall into the latter category, as we feel like Gotham has done much more bad than good to the Batman brand in the four years it has been on the air. And in a time where DC/Warner Brothers can't seem to get Batman right on the big screen either, this is a big problem. Here are 20 ways Gotham has tarnished Batman's legacy.

I can't believe this show has lasted as long as it did.
