    TV Gotham (Spoilers and such... you've been warned)

    Alrighty, I'm really liking the show, so far it's been really cool and all but this last episode, "The Blind Fortune Teller"...

    They introduced a character who's to become the Joker later. I have a nagging problem with this. They gave him a backstory... you can trace where he comes from. You're not supposed to know where the Joker comes from. It's part of his whole mystique in the comics, at least the later ones. You don't know his name, who his parents were, etc etc etc...

    Everything else is pretty cool. Except for this. It's just not right.




    Oh yeah, the chick playing the future Barbara Gordon's really hot.

    The character or the actress herself?


    And for the Stone's song.

    I wonder what kind of torture Zsasz put Butch through for 3 weeks to make him so compliant.

    Yeah, I'm thinking he's waiting to get Penguin alone.

    Is it me or has anybody else got the impression that Penguin is a little too trusting?

    The kid, Jerome, imitated Jack's Joker mannerisms quite well.

    Just watched the episode. Yeah I didn't know he was to become the Joker until I read this...

    I thought Ian from Shameless was a good bit of casting though as a young Joker.

    They advertised it as introducing the Joker. Clearly, he's not the Joker yet, but again, you could tell by his mannerisms when he was sitting next to the fortune teller/father (Tio Salamanca!!! ). Again, he emulated Nicholson's Joker mannerisms quite well. At least I thought so.

    I never see commercials or previews or watch coming next week...little bit like Lance that way. Not a big spoiler by any means.

    The actor they chose takes some heat for his acting on Shameless, not sure why. He looks to be a great choice for junior joker...his short little bit going from a sweet guy to angry maniac was brilliant IMO

    Really? Didn't know that. I though Ian Is pretty convincing with his disorder on Shameless. Also think he is a good choice for the Joker.

    So Ian's bipolar disorder got so bad that he fled Chicago, moved to Gotham, took a new identity and is going to become the Joker
