what a fantastic ep!!
this is the way Gotham should be.
less about Gordon and more about Bruce and the villains BRUCE is supposed to face in the future. And what better way than to focus on future Batman and future Joker.
and Jerome IS the Joker. He's like the perfect combo of Nicholson's "clown prince" Joker and Ledger's "sadistic scarred" Joker. I haven't seen Leto's Joker, so I can't comment on him.
but to me, Jerome is about as close to perfect as to how I want to see the Joker. now, he just needs the full face paint.
