I think at least some of what we’re seeing is what Rachel wished had happened to her when her strange heritage began manifesting. The supernatural turn continues with “Super Super-Mart.” Which I guess is this world’s version of Walmart, more or less.
While I really wish the show wasn’t going, “The Reckoning” went out on a really good note. Since this is a finale that come out some time ago, there will be spoilers in this review.
Despite some really badly done trailers, Gotham Knights turned out to be an enjoyable show, even if it only lasted one season. One of the things I enjoyed about the show was that they created a new spin on Gotham, bringing in elements from many different versions of the Bat-mythos.
As the season draws towards a close, things are getting stranger and stranger for Dream and the people in his orbit. The Lord of Dreams still has to deal with reclaiming lost items from his time in captivity, the complex problem of Rose the Dream Vortex, and some weird ripples throughout his lands.
You know going in things aren’t going to be great from the somewhat spoilery title, “The Last Will and Testament of Sylvester Pemberton.”
Say what you want about the DC movies, and believe me I know they have their problems, they did a pretty good job with casting in many of them. Gal Godot is a great Wonder Woman, Afleck worked surprisingly well as a world-weary Batman, and Jason Mamoa is very entertaining as Aquaman.
This episode also is the live action debut of the titular villain Jinx, a member of Titans’ enemies, the Fearsome Five.
The main character and his wife, among the few remaining characters from the first season, take most of this episode off, they bring back a minor character from the dead (thanks to more complications and ripples from Crisis), and there are a few inconsistences and just plain weird things happening throughout the show.
There are a lot of interesting interactions in the Dreaming and the waking world as the various cast members are “Playing House.”
There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to Batman Begins, but I tend to get hung up on the cast. This cast is amazing, but maybe my favorite performance is by Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone. The performance speaks for itself, but if you’re not familiar with Wilkinson, go check him out Michael…
