The final episode filmed for Gotham. Written by Ben McKenzie and directed by Erin Richards and we discuss it all in our Gotham 509 Review of “The Trial of Jim Gordon”. This is a spoiler filled discussion so as always make sure you’ve watched the episode before listening to the podcast.

Gotham 509 Review “The Trial of Jim Gordon” Synopsis

Directed by: Erin Richards

Written by: Ben McKenzie

Attempting to establish a ceasefire as supplies in Gotham become critical, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is shot. Rushed to the G.C.P.D, Lee Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) operates on him to stem his blood loss, but Jim passes out and begins to hallucinate. His dream like state soon turns into a nightmare as Jim Gordon’s life, decisions and failures are put on trial all while he bleeds out.

Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) discovers that a lovesick Victor Zsasz (Anthony Carrigan) was the perpetrator who shot Jim Gordon while under the influence of Poison Ivy (Peyton List). Ivy’s roots extend beyond killing Jim as she also places her spell on Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) and Lucius Fox (Chris Chalk) to target the drinking water supplies all in an attempt to prevent the reunification with the mainland and to rebuild Gotham with her plants.

Meanwhile, as Barbara (Erin Richards) and Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) consider their next moves, Lee has a life-changing moment as she saves Jim from another attempt on his life by Ivy. As Jim awakes from his hallucination and recovers from his wounds he makes the decision to live for Lee and his unborn child.

After one month passes, James Gordon and Leslie Thompkins are finally married by Harvey Bullock in the G.C.P.D. Precinct…and everyone lives happily ever after…but this is Gotham and as the two love-birds wed, Barbara secretly makes an important decision about her child.

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.

We’ve moved our news section this week to the end of the episode let us know if you like the change. If you listen to us on iTunes be sure to leave us a review so that other listeners can find us.

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.

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.

New Cast of Gotham Photo – Secrets Revealed

10 May, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com Comments Off

Earlier today a brand new Gotham cast photo was released by Ben McKenzie via Twitter showing all the main characters of the upcoming TV series scheduled for Autumn this year.

What a great photo it is with the G.C.P.D. partnership of Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock front and centre of the shot. Either side are the two other main partnerships of the series to the right the young Bruce Wayne and his loyal and trusted butler Alfred Pennyworth and to the left the more dubious and villainous pairing of Fish Mooney and Oswald Cobblepot. Peering from above the alleyway is the agile Selina Kyle looking ready to pounce. Whilst towards the back of the picture are an awkward looking Edward Nygma and a young Ivy with what appears to be a rose in hand. All-in-all a great set of characters and cast in this photo and we can’t wait to see them come to life in the TV show.

We also took a deeper look at the image and found a few hidden elements in the picture that we’ve highlighted in the annotated version of the picture below. These little extras in the picture sign-post what some of these characters will obviously become and maybe (just maybe) gives a whisper of another character for the show. Check out our thoughts below.

1. The Penguin – The poster fixed to the wall above Oswald Cobblepot contains a rotund penguin. Is the Penguin in the poster eating a Fish?

2. The Cat – The nimble and agile alley cat slinking in the background always lands on all four paws…a sign of the future Catwoman.

3. The Riddler ? – Graffiti, graffiti everywhere down this seedy alley way but one piece of graffiti poses a question…is the Riddler alive and well and operating in Gotham?

4. The Poison Ivy – Directly above Ivy Pepper the tendrils of ivy creep up the buildings, beginning to spread, and taking the first footholds ready to consume Gotham…in this kid there is the warning of Poison Ivy.

5. Calling Cards – @SuperheroReport on Twitter pointed out these playing cards and the connection to a certain Batman character. Now maybe they are or maybe they aren’t, but does this sign show the calling card of a familiar character or is it just a joke?

Finally, the arrow which points at the cheeky spotlight in the background of the photo and which could just be the Bat Signal, hinting at what the young Bruce Wayne is destined to become.
