scraylo187 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Did they even need to bother screen testing Murphy? As soon as he walked out in the suit, they should've said, "Yeah, you can go ahead and take that off." "Hi, I'm Cillian-" THANK YOU YOU'LL HEAR FROM US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Christian Bale's Batman audition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFK8kWf9hMM&4 The audition voice Bale uses is his Batman Begins voice which I always preferred to the later voices. So his Batman voice was one of the reason why he got the part? Well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The series hails from "The Mentalist" creator Bruno Heller. That seems odd. Which Batman villains can they use? And if Gordon can beat them pre-Batman, that kind of throws off everything, doesn't it? I mean, is this just going to be a period detective show where occasionally somebody mentions Thomas Wayne? I'm not getting the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, I don't understand the hook of the show. You can't do any of the major villains, and even if you can, you can't have Gordon catch them, because that makes Batman irrelevant. So either it's going to be a show about an inept James Gordon constantly failing to bring in the bad guys, or...it's just going to be your standard police procedural, except set in Gotham. Yay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They can have Gordon fight mostly with the Roman and his mob, just before Batman comes around. Which would make it a standard cop procedural, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hey, I didn't say it was a good idea. I'm just pointing out that you can do a show about Gordon fighting the mob, without using any of the rogues gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I can see the mob being a big bad for the show for a bit. I don't know if Gordon is in Gotham when the Waynes died in the books, but I can see them putting him on the case for the show's purposes at some point with a mob tie-in.

Gonzalez Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 If they have him going up against the Gotham mob, then they might as well remake The Untouchables again. Most likely if it does make it past the pilot stage(which I seriously doubt) he'll probably end up facing the lesser rouges like Victor Zsasz, and Black Mask. And some of the other rouges that had an operation before Batman like The Penguin(heck he could be the Huggy Bear of the show), and maybe even a pre-Joker Jack Napier.

I didn't mean your suggestion in specific, just why the fuck they would do a young Gordon show in general, instead of making Gotham Central.

pipGofern Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 A young, James Gordon's adventures? Is Fox really that impressed by The CW's formula for superhero tv shows? Arrow is awesome. It's not gonna win any Emmys but it's an excellent action-adventure show and a better comic adaptation than any non-Nolan DC movie has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigertooth Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Early on I was definitely anti-Arrow. For some reason, I stuck with it and realized that while the characters are mediocre and the dialogue is awful, it has fun fight sequences and the plotting is actually pretty good. It's like somebody had really good big picture ideas, but then delegated the details to hacks. Except the fight scenes. Anyway, it turns out to be a decent mix once you learn to filter past the stupid words that come out of these people's mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMFabiano Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 What interests me about the Batman-without-Batman series is, it is going be put out by *FOX*, not WB. So I assume that after nearly 50 years, Fox still has the rights for live action TV series based on the Bat universe, while WB has the movies and animation? Which leads me to imagine them pulling a swerve and making a series based on the *1966* James Gordon, which would be BATB-like fun. I know, they're not doing that, though.

Brian Fowler Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 According to the reports, Fox won a bidding war. I think they see the show as being too big for CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 My dream GOTHAM is set 7 years past BATMAN '66. Batman & Robin have just been killed (by the Mob) and it's up to Jim Gordon & the GPD to bring his killers to justice. You get to keep all the Villains and you don't have to worry about people clamoring for Batman to appear. I know it'd get cancelled during its first season, but it would be AMAZING.

Unfortunately I had a hard time getting past the soap opera dialogue and goofy characters in the first season. The show's version of Deadshot was pretty cool though.

Batman and Robin killed by the mob? In the 66 series? Yeah, right. They either died surfing or choked by their capes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
