Lot’s was shocking this week as the show took a detour for an episode to fill out the corners of the city and we discuss it all in our Gotham 508 Review of “Nothing’s Shocking”. This is a spoiler filled discussion so as always make sure you’ve watched the episode before listening to the podcast.

Gotham 508 Review “Nothing’s Shocking” Synopsis

Directed by: Kenneth Fink

Written by: Seth Boston

Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) ‘s past comes back to haunt him when two former G.C.P.D. officers are murdered at the Sirens Club. With information from Barbara Kean (Erin Richards), Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) discovers that a shape-shifting Indian Hill escapee called “Jane Doe” is behind the killings. Brought in to the Precinct she escapes and murders Bullock’s former partner Detective Dix (Dan Hedaya).

As Harvey take matters into his own hands his partnership with Jim becomes strained as he confesses that he and the victims unethically forced Jane, formerly “Jane Cartwright” (Sarah Pidgeon), to incriminate her mother for killing her abusive father.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) and Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee) explore the tunnels beneath the city as they attempt to track down the missing husband of an injured woman. But “if you go down to the sewers tonight you sure of a big surprise” as they rescue the woman’s husband they discover a severely disfigured and immensely powerful hybrid-human who was affected by Jeremiah’s chemicals.

Elsewhere, Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) and Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith)’s plans to escape Gotham look like being torpedoed by Cobblepot’s former accountant Arthur Penn (Andrew Sellon). Suffering from a split personality, Penn is embodied by a ventriloquist dummy, Scarface (also Andrew Sellon), resulting in a confrontation with his former boss that leads to the death of Scarface and the the death of one Arthur Penn.

On this episode of Gotham TV Podcast we follow up our Hush Volume One review with a chat all about Batman Hush Volume Two (Volume 2 Collected; Issues #6-13). Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams this story arc was originally released as Batman 613-619. Again this volume follows the story of Tommy Elliot (Played by Cole Vallis on Gotham Episode 8) and his relationship with Bruce Wayne. In a story arc filled with twists and turns we find out the identity of the villain Hush and why all of Batman’s rogues gallery have been acting differently.

We always appreciate our listeners who share our episodes and we have a few thank you’s to Cole Vallis, and Gotham Originals who shared our review of Hush Volume one with their followers on Facebook. You can find the Gotham Originals on twitter @Gothamoriginals they provide great news stories and discussion about Gotham at it’s US pace if you are looking for a group to join and can’t get enough Gotham.

Two of our listeners, Detective Dillon Exner and Detective Daniel Butcher of Comic Book Time Machine and Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast Welcome to Level Seven contacted us about a missed Joker reference in Gotham. You can see the image that Detective Daniel captured of “Smile” written on the side of a building in Gotham.

Gotham News

the Dollmaker mentioned in Episode 2 of #Gotham will appear on the show. Colm Feore, who played King Laufey in Thor and also appeared in Amazing Spider-man 2 is making the leap over to DC to take the role. Dollmaker, real name Dr. Francis Dulmacher, has been teased since the second episode of Gotham, in which his creepy henchmen Doug (Frank Whaley) and Patti (Lili Taylor) name him as the culprit behind the mass kidnappings of the city’s street children. We wonder if John’s theory on the Dollmaker will come true.
Comicbook.com had the news up on their site

DC Connected News

Supergirl has been cast for the upcoming CBS show as Supergirl herself, the young Kara Zor-El. We don’t know much about the show yet but the big question given that CBS are part owners in the CW channel which airs Arrow and The Flash, will Supergirl exist in the same universe as those two shows. Only time will tell. The full story is available over on IGN.com

Thanks as always for listening we’ll talk to you again soon with another episode of Gotham TV Podcast.

Gotham News
⦁ Gotham has been officially renewed by Fox in the US for a second season. At the Television Critics Association (TCA) Winter event on Saturday 17th January Co-Chairman and CEO of Fox, Dana Walden, said that Fox “love the show” and they’ve told the team behind the hit show “keep doing what you’re doing”. This is great news.
⦁ Other great news revolves around RTE in Ireland who have officially confirmed that Gotham will premiere on RTÉ2 beginning Monday 26th January at 9pm. They’ve even released a brand new trailer. This should hopefully mean a wider audience is reached for the show in Ireland.

⦁ Robin Lord-Taylor fans have been asking one question regularly for months. What do previous actors who play the character think about his performance as the young Oswald Cobblepot on Gotham? Well the answer was given at the TCA’s this weekend when Danny DeVito (there to promote “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia“) was asked about his opinion about Robin Lord-Taylor. He told AccessHollywood.com “I’ve watched the show. I think he’s a very good young Penguin” ,”He’s a terrific actor,”. A ringing endorsement.
⦁ It’s also been announced that the future father of Dick Grayson, John Grayson will be played by Rob Gorrie. The circus will roll into Gotham in Episode 16 carrying with it the Flying Graysons. The episode is titled “The Blind Fortune Teller”. As Gotham takes place during the young years of Bruce Wayne, John Grayson will be a much younger character so we won’t see any appearance of Dick Grayson in the show.

DC Connected News
⦁ Former Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy has dropped out of his second DC movie “Suicide Squad” due to scheduling conflicts. The current movie he’s filming, “The Revenant”, has run over so he’s unable to take on the role of Rick Flag in “Suicide Squad” which starts filming in April 2014.

Thanks for listening we’ll be covering Volume 2 of Hush in our next podcast as Gotham is still on hiatus in Ireland and the UK; returning to Channel 5 for the second half of season one in March.
