Looks like Penguin gets a job with [BLACKOUT]Maroni[/BLACKOUT].

I wonder if this episode is written by Ben Edlund. The way McKenzie described it sounds pretty Edlund.

Hi. I'm new here and I live Gotham. It's now my favourite series after Game of Thrones. I just wonder: Would it be a good idea to introduce a antihero like Reaper in the show? Episode 3 is going to have unknown vigilante, but what about a vigilante that we are familiar with?

 

[StarLord]

'The Gray Ghost', perhaps.

 

[NoBozos]

Isn't the guy attaching people to balloons Professor Pyg??

 

[Rodrigo90]

Isn't Professsor Pyg a Jygsaw accomplice and don't they both want to see Terminator Genisys!?

 

[Fallen Angel]

At first when i heard the title of this episode i thought they were going to give us another hint towards the Joker.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Actually, you might be onto something there

 

[Sawyer]

Bah Gawd.

 

[Rodrigo90]

They float..........They all float!

If the Balloonman doesn't say that, I will be royally pee'd!

 

[Guts]

 

[KillerMcQueen]

They float..........They all float!

If the Balloonman doesn't say that, I will be royally pee'd!

That would be awesome if somebody says that line during the episode.

 

[Rodrigo90]

"They float. They float, Gordon, and when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too!"

 

[Sawyer]

Tonight.

 

[Rodrigo90]

3 more weeks for moi

 

[famicommander]

I hope this one is good. I really wasn't a fan of the first two episodes at all, even though I was excited about the premise.

If this one doesn't connect with me I think I'll jump out. Maybe come back to it at the end of the season and do a Netflix run if I hear good things.

 

[Guts]

Alfred and Bruce sword fight.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Balloonman lookin' like the Shadow...

 

[Rodrigo90]

He doesn't look like Tim Curry in a clown outfit?

 

[The Sage]

Balloonman lookin' like the Shadow...

Which of course was one of the influences for Batman.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Which of course was one of the influences for Batman.

that's funny... the cop named Cranston was killed by Balloonman lookin' like the Shadow, LOL...

That news story scene with the civilians was so Burton. I love how pulpy this show gets.
