Geekomancer Under Glass – Fall 2014 TV (Part One)
It’s that time of year again — New TV time! Here’s a short run-down of some early thoughts about the Fall 2014 TV season based on a few pilots and season openers. Gotham Let me start by saying that I’m a big Batman fan. You might already know this. I should also say that I love the comic series, Gotham Central. Gotham, however, is is not the TV show I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be a Gotham Central show, where GCPD cops try to keep the peace in an un-governable city cursed with larger-than-life villains and a guardian angel who is more terrifying than most of the villains he fights. But it’s not that show, and it’s not trying to be that show — it seems like it’s trying to be the story of Gotham before Batman and the story of the various villains and how they become who they are when Batman emerges.
