Show Notes

Written by Rebecca Dameron (A supervising Producer on the whos who also wrote episodes of The Following) and directed by Guy Ferland (Directed of Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead, Homeland and three episodes of The Torchwood series Miracle Day).

After assassins attack Wayne Manor looking for Selina Kyle, Cat and Bruce are forced to go on the run into the dark and seedy underbelly of Gotham. While Alfred works with Detective Harvey Bullock to track down the heir to the Wayne family fortune, Jim Gordon follows another lead to the man he believes is responsible for the attack, Dick Lovecraft. All the while Falcone is trying to root out a mole…or is it a Fish…or is it a Penguin in his organisation after the loss of all his money. As Bruce and Alfred are reunited and Cat is safe from harm (for now) the partnership of Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock is broken up by a spiteful and vengeful mayor James Aubrey. The GCPD, Arkham and Gotham will never be the same again!

News

If you haven’t caught it yet we have released a brand new live interview with Victoria Cartagena and Andrew Stewart-Jones. It’s an hour long interview with lots of fun tidbits and behind the scenes insight into Gotham’s MCU.

Victoria Cartagena and Erin Richard’s characters Renee and Barbara have been nominated for an AfterEllen.com award for best lesbian couple on TV vote at afterellen.com.

Channel 5 have advised us that the release date for the next episode of Gotham has yet to be decided in the UK. We will update as soon as we have confirmation of the date. The release date of the pilot for Season 1 was only announced two weeks before it aired in the UK so we hope to have a confirmed announcement in early 2015.

DC Connected News

Syfy are developing a Superman prequel TV series ‘Krypton’ written by Man of Steel writer and Constantine Showrunner David S. Goyer. The pitch is “Years before the Superman legend we know, the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This series follows The Man of Steel’s grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest Super Hero ever known.”

Thanks for listening we’ll be on break for the Christmas period and will return in the New Year when Gotham returns to Channel 5 in the UK for the second half of season 1.

“Year One Episode 09 – Harvey Dent Review” – Gotham TV Podcast Episode 27

You can email us at [email protected]
or email [email protected] or [email protected]

Show Notes

Written by Ken Woodruff (Episode 4 – Arkham) and directed by Karen Gaviola (Directed episodes of CSI, Criminal Minds, Prison Break).

As a mentally ill patient, Ian Hargrove, is transferred from Blackgate penitentiary for treatment he is kidnapped by Russian mobsters. Under the guidance of Fish Mooney the mobsters are using the former vigilante to complete a plan to steal money from Carmine Falcone. Meanwhile Selina Kyle has returned and finally gives more details to the identity of the Wayne Family murderer. Because of her knowledge Cat is sent to Wayne Manor for her protection. Armed with Selina’s sketch Jim Gordon approaches a young slightly unbalanced Assistant District Attorney Harvey Dent for help. Dent is convinced that the sketch ties billionaire businessman Dick Lovecraft into the investigation. All the while Jim and Barbara are drifting further and further apart.

Who is Ian Hargrove? Whilst his name doesn’t seem to feature in DC Comics his preferred method of destruction is familiar and could be linked to the villain called the Destroyer who blows up old buildings for the sake of artistic expression.

⦁    We will be interviewing Detectives Renee Montoya (Victoria Cartagena) and Crispus Allen (Andrew Stewart-Jones) with our friends from Legends of Gotham on Thursday 11th December 2014 at 8pm EST for the USA and Canada or Friday 12th December at 1am GMT for Ireland and the UK. You can join us live on Google+ (bit.ly/askthemcu). If you want to leave a question just click on the link and then the image in Google+.

⦁    A pilot for the Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon comic series Preacher has been ordered by AMC. The Vertigo comic is about a southern preacher, Reverand Jesse Custe, accidentally possessed by a supernatural creature, who travels across the United States trying to find God! The pilot is being put together by Breaking Bad’s with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg who directed This is the End and Superbad. It sounds like a mix of Constantine and the Walking Dead and we’re definitely interested.

⦁    Rumours are out that Frank Miller is doing a second sequel to his infamous Dark Knight Returns mini-series from 1986. Given that Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice has definitely taken inspiration from Frank Miller’s version it sounds like good timing. Frank Miller is set to work on the story, focusing on Cary Kelly the female Robin from the original mini-series, with current Batman writer Scott Snyder. There are no confirmed artists yet for the book but Jim Lee and Greg Capullo are already being name dropped as part of a group of rotating artists taking on different issues.

⦁    We discussed it a few weeks ago but the cast of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad has now been confirmed.

i.    Jared Leto as The Joker
ii.    Will Smith as Deadshot
iii.    Tom Hardy as Rick Flag
iv.    Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
v.    Jai Courtney as Boomerang
vi.    Cara Delevingne as Enchantress

Thanks for listening we’ll be back next week with the final episode of this half of season one “Lovecraft”.

DC Connected News

Constantine premieres in the US on the 24th of October. We’ve seen the pilot of the show twice at NYCC and it’s excellent. Interviews with the cast Matt Ryan and Angélica Selaya and creator David S. Goyer. Reaction from the audience was huge with loads of requests for characters to be added to the show. They’ve already filmed 10 episodes. A UK and Irish broadcaster is yet to be announced so this might mean that we won’t see the show until 2015 but it has a lot of promise.

DC Movie Slate was announced by Warner Brothers up until 2020. One of the big elements to this news was also that the DC movie and TV universes would have no connection.

Gotham Pilot Podcast Year One E01 – Gotham TV Podcast Episode 18

START HERE FOR GOTHAM EPISODE DISCUSSIONS.

Join us for our Gotham Pilot Podcast review

Show Notes

Gotham premiered on Channel 5 in the UK on October 13th at 9PM and on RTÉ2 in Ireland on Monday January 26th 2015 in Ireland and is now available on Netflix and Blu-Ray and DVD. So We’ve finally been able to see the episode and share our thoughts with you. Our episode begins with some Gotham News from back in 2014 when we saw the episode first.

Gotham News

  • We’re not going to talk about ratings much on our show as they generally come out much slower in the UK but ratings for the pilot in the US were pretty high with about 8 million on the night of September 22nd. The audience increased by 50% when DVR watching over the subsequent three days was included. Making the total audience for the show 12 million if out maths is accurate.
  • As we’ve discussed on a past episode Harvey Dent is coming to Gotham and the actor who has been cast to play him is Nicholas D’Agosto. We know him from his turn as one of the ill-fated kids in Final Destination 5. He’s a lot younger than we’ve seen the character on screen before making it very possible that we’ll seen the character on screen before making it very possible that he’s a young lawyer working his way up the ranks of the legal system in Gotham. Hopefully we’ll see a lot of interplay between him and Jim Gordon as they try to clean up the city together.

DC Connected News

  • The Teen Titans joins the expanding list of DC properties being developed as a TV show. Variety reports that TV channel TNT are close to a deal on producing “Titans”, the show would center on Dick Grayson, the former Robin who emerges from Batman’s shadow to become Nightwing and the leader of a fearless band of heroes who include Starfire and Raven. Looks like it might be a show relevant to our interests.

FEEDBACK

We discuss lots of feedback on episode one at the end of the review. If you want to send us your thoughts or suggestions you can send them to our new address [email protected]
Thanks so much to all of our listeners for their feedback it’s great to have the support so far and we hope you keep sending us your feedback as Gotham ramps up.

As always thanks so much for listening and all your interactions over the last 17 episodes. We will be covering all the news and info that came from our trip to New York Comic Con in another episode up this week and the next review episode will be up next week.

Gotham Premiere Date Announced for the USA

Gotham will premiere this Fall on Monday 22nd September in the USA and we are understandably excited. Episode one of Gotham will air at 8pm on the Fox Network just before the return of Sleepy Hollow. We have nothing more to add other than, in the tradition of Dr Strangelove, we can’t wait for the countdown to zero.

Gotham Trailers, Clips and Videos

Since the start of May fans of the upcoming TV series Gotham have, in addition to interviews with the cast and characters, been treated to a host of video releases, including trailers and clips that are beginning to tease out the tone, direction and characters of the show scheduled for this Autumn.

The release of the official extended trailer for Gotham started it all off in early May and started a buzz about the show with fans enjoying and scrutinising the trailers, including ourselves with our “Gotham First Full Trailer Breakdown” episode of Gotham TV Podcast. This was soon followed by a “First Look” from the official Gotham website and trailers from other TV networks as screenings of the pilot episode of Gotham began to gather more excitement and generate momentum around the show. We then got to see a short but tantalising villains snap-shot from Fox Networks which was awesome and got ourselves even more excited about the show and now we’ve seen the companion video to Villains entitled Heroes, there’s no new footage present but seeing Jim and the young Bruce Wayne together as the city closes around them is worth watching.

Whilst most of the footage is from the pilot episode, there are some great shots of the City of Gotham and some iconic glimpses laid bare in the current releases for the Gotham TV show. We are certainly expecting new footage from the series soon, as the big comic cons are on the horizon and filming for the show is continuing apace in New York (aka Gotham). So, Gothamites, we have pulled together the current trailers, clips, snap-shots and other videos below and on our new YouTube Channel for you all to enjoy. We will of course add to this as more trailers and clips are released.
