Gotham (TV series)

In the first season, GCPD Detective James Gordon and his corrupt partner Harvey Bullock are tasked with solving a number of criminal cases in Gotham City, including the murder of 12-year-old Bruce Wayne's parents. A gang war brews between crime families led by Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni, and Fish Mooney, with low-level thug Oswald Cobblepot forced into its center.

In the second season, Theo Galavan surfaces in Gotham to kill Bruce Wayne for the Order of St. Dumas; Gordon is framed for murder by Edward Nygma; and at Arkham Asylum, Professor Hugo Strange runs unorthodox experiments in a secret facility called Indian Hill, transforming its inmates into monsters for the mysterious Court of Owls.

In the third season, Gordon becomes a bounty hunter working to track down the Indian Hill monsters. Jervis Tetch threatens the city's safety with a deadly virus; Cobblepot and Nygma struggle for control over Gotham; and Bruce is told by the Court of Owls' leader to seek out Ra's al Ghul to complete his training.

In the fourth season, Bruce begins to fight crime as a masked vigilante to prepare for Ra's al Ghul's return; Sofia Falcone arrives in Gotham to reclaim the criminal underworld from Cobblepot, who has established a new law of "licensed crime"; and Jeremiah Valeska is driven insane and forms an alliance with Ra's al Ghul to turn the city into an isolated ruin, forcing Bruce to fulfill his destiny as "Gotham's Dark Knight".

In the fifth and final season, Gordon and his allies attempt to restore order in Gotham. Nyssa al Ghul seeks vengeance for her father's death; Eduardo Dorrance takes control of the city's military presence; and Jeremiah hatches a scheme to torment Bruce and cement their "bond" as hated enemies.

A decade later, Bruce returns to Gotham and begins fighting crime as a bat-inspired vigilante. Jeremiah escapes from Arkham to resume his rivalry with Bruce. Gordon, now commissioner of the GCPD, uses a searchlight atop the police department to contact the new vigilante.

I wanted to see an evolution of the comics—and of the character. Going from this quite innocent, well-intentioned, joyful person to starting to find this other part of him that he didn't know he had. He's a person who's constantly abused, and it's out of anger and exhaustion, and then realizing that when you start taking control of situations like that, you can gain power that way—it'll be something that he can start to enjoy."{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/gothams-cory-michael-smith-unlocks-766118|title='Gotham's' Cory Michael Smith Unlocks the Mystery of the Riddler|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=January 26, 2015|access-date=April 17, 2020|archive-date=November 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127233229/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/gothams-cory-michael-smith-unlocks-766118|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/25/gotham-how-the-riddler-got-his-name-review|title=Gotham: "How the Riddler Got His Name" Review|first=Matt|last=Fowler|date=April 24, 2017|access-date=April 17, 2020|archive-date=November 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111210407/https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/04/25/gotham-how-the-riddler-got-his-name-review|url-status=live}}

That idea "gave us a starting point and allowed us to tell the saga from a much earlier point than before".

Although the series is set in Gotham, various names and character designs from the Batman franchise were ultimately not allowed to be used in order to reserve them for the DCEU, combined with concerns from Warner Bros. about the television series potentially diluting the brand.

Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly criticized the first half of season one along with the mid-season premiere. He found the personalities of the most characters "already nearly fully formed; all they can become is more or less than what they already are." Jensen added that Gordon not being Gotham's redeemer hurt the premise of the show and heavily criticized what he saw as the under-use of Jada Pinkett Smith's character. In the end, he does not see Gotham "as a show for comic book fanboys" but rather as "a post-fanboy, or fanboy-irrelevant."{{cite magazine|url=https://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/05/gotham-midseason-premiere-review|title=The failings of 'Gotham'|first=Jeff|last=Jensen|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=January 5, 2015|access-date=January 5, 2015}} Oliver Sava of The A.V.
