Gotham The Official Gotham News and discussion thread - Part 5

[Pennywise]

The whole Batman aspect of the finale has me curious, honestly. Will it be entirely in-costume? Will it even be Mazouz? Because if it's ten years ahead, selling him as a late twentysomething could be tough.

Gotham: Showrunner says no recasting for finale time jump

Curious how they’ll pull it off.

 

[StarLord]

Lifts in David's shoes and A LOT of padding I guess. And a voice modulator.

 

[Pennywise]

I also think we would only see David as Batman, as he still looks young for an older Bruce, unless they use makeup.

I don't know about padding, but they can certainly pull off an Arkham Knight-inspired look given what Theo's Azrael had on.

 

[StarLord]

I'm sure they are aware that people want the Goddamn Batman. No substitutes.

 

[Lencho01]

Most likely in the finale, though hopefully it's not the same way as Smallville did it.

I have more faith in them than the Smallville people.

I'm guessing both Bruce and Selina will only show up in their masked identities as well.

Or camera tricks.

Such as David in the cowl in close up, but wide shots its a stuntman in the suit. Thus blending the two. Clever idea.

Which btw, why wasn't this clever idea used in Smallville concerning Tom?! ARGH!

I read an article recently that had an interview with the costume designer I believe, and he said the Batsuit would be all black and be similar to the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises costume in terms of segmented "armor plating" .

That disappointed me when I first read it. I was hoping that they would go more comic accurate copying the all black armored costume look just seems so uninspired and anti climactic.

 

[Binker]

Really? Because the other article stated metallic. In my mind, either Nolan with the metallic "abs", or metallic suit with black "abs".

Erin Richards directing and Ben McKenzie writing?

The episode itself is Barbara Gordon confirmed.

 

[Binker]

I wonder what its about...

Also, I keep forgetting David is taller now, same height as Ben, and with lifts, a little moreso. Its because I still think of him as the kid that started the show.

Pretty cool that they’re all getting involved. Good for Erin after how boring her season 1 character was and how much it improved.

 

[Kane52630]

Probably the best 180 of a character on a show in a while.

I know some find her a bit annoying but the show wouldn't be the same without her now for me. I'm glad she's been there till the end and her revived character has been a lot of fun.

The Paley Center in NYC is hosting a screening of the Season 5 premiere on December 12th.

Get David in the gym for three or four months, he’ll be fine...

I think most found her annoying in the beginning, but have grown to like her.
