This is really worth a watch. It gets into how Batman compares and contrasts to various heroic archetypes in TDKT. It shows how the shades of different classic models make up what is an extraordinarily multi-faceted and unique character.

Thanks for sharing, excellent analysis, just subscribed to the dude's channel. t: Happy to see people still having new things to say about the Nolan Trilogy to this day.

His video on Batman Begins is very good too.

Looks very interesting.

Will watch.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

He's the kind of hero that Gotham deserves, but the city loses him after a chase scene.

This. One thousand times over, this.

[blackout]Martha won't play a part in Infinity War, so pffft, whatever.[/blackout]

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Was flipping through the tv guide and thought it was the dark knight....turned out it's the name for season 4 of gotham. How is that show still on? I watched about 10 minutes of and had to turn it off.

There will always be an audience for stupid crap.

 

[The Joker]

That show is horrifically bad.

That scene could have been fun in theory, but as it is it's uncinematic as hell and Jerome makes me cringe.

The last couple of seasons have been really good.

From the small bits I've seen so far, I think he's passable.

This is not the worst I've seen of him, but that's not exactly a compliment.

 

[BaelaTargaryen]

Misslane is at it again (it's about "Martha").

I'd like to think so, but I doubt it. Maybe that would have been enough for some people, but the exaggerated nature of the reaction suggests to me a deeper issue. That the heroes escape disaster by an act of sentiment and love rather than a feat of genius or physical force, and that both heroes' love for their mothers was so central, chafes against a lot of traditional or toxic masculinity. Compounding the problem are years of bathos being used to undermine sincerity. In the absence of the film doing this, some viewers did it themselves, creating memes so as to detach from the scene.

Yikes.

Ive never seen the show but everything with “Jerome” makes me cringe. So try hard.

 

[Ryan]

It's really criminal to think that this series has already lasted longer than the original Batman tv series. The villains stick out like really bad cosplayers in a low budget youtube movie. Ironically the Batman 66 tv show better at creating a more "believable' world in which their villains fit in.

 

[The Joker]

The 60's show is a classic and a pop cultural icon. It saved the Batman comics when sales were seriously waning. It made household names out of Batman, Robin, and the villains. It also turned the Riddler into an A-list villain.

I don't see the Gotham TV show being looked back on with any major fondness in the years to come. The acting (with a small handful of exceptions like Taylor's Penguin), writing, and general handling of the Batman mythos is horrible.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I'm still not following the show.

Imagine just being a fan of the characters and wishing the movies were better, and then having to read stuff like this on a daily basis telling you that your opinion is essentially wrong? Just a big bunch of existential nothingness.

I'm assuming because there wasn't much else competing for that kind of attention on air. Heck, they even decided to animate that show just to make use of Hanna-Barbara.

Gotham still feels like it knew what it is or wants to be sooner than Smallville had, but it's ultimately being done at a time when there are more than enough cbtv shows across the various networks.

 

[The Joker]

What difference would it make if there wasn't much else competing for that kind of attention? I mean the likes of The Green Hornet TV show went to air during Batman's time, but it flopped. The Hanna-Barbara cartoon didn't come out until 4 years after the 60's show had ended. And that was with Scooby-Doo. So I'm not sure what your point is.

The poor quality of Gotham has nothing to do with other CBTV shows. The great ones like Daredevil and Jessica Jones stand out on their own merits regardless of how many other CBTV shows there are. Just like the 60's Batman show did. Just like great CBMs stand out with their quality in an era where we are swamped with them.
