Gotham: No Man’s Land
Stealing yet another classic story from the Batman mythos, Gotham ends their fourth season with “No Man’s Land.”
Stealing yet another classic story from the Batman mythos, Gotham ends their fourth season with “No Man’s Land.”
Gotham keeps stealing ideas from the comics and not quite doing them justice. The title “One Bad Day” is a reference to a major point in the classic Batman story (and later animated movie) The Killing Joke.
The saga of the not-quite Joker continues in Gotham as the season continues with “A Dark Knight: That Old Corpse.” J
“To Our Deaths and Beyond” sounds like it’s a strange twist on Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase from Toy Story, but it’s the title of the next episode of Gotham. There’s enough weirdness going on that there are going to be spoilers along the way, so be warned.
I’ve talked before about wondering why anyone would still live in Gotham at this point. Well, even worse than living there at this point is being mayor. They tend to die, get kidnapped, disappear, or be revealed as crime bosses.
Gotham’s weird string of titles for its “A Dark Knight” season continues in “Mandatory Brunch Meeting.” Then again, with Jerome running around I guess more weirdness is to be expected.
Gotham is definitely veering towards stranger and stranger titles as the “A Dark Knight” season continues. This week’s is “One of My Three Soups,” which at least makes some sense before the end of the episode.
Changes keep coming on Gotham in “A Dark Knight: The Sinking Ship the Grand Applause.” I don’t always get what they’re doing with the titles on this show, and this one makes no sense at all to me. I didn’t see any sign of a ship, literal or figurative, but it was a decent episode regardless of what they called it.
They continue Gotham’s current season with “A Dark Knight: A Beautiful Darkness.” This one opens with Ivy 3.0 and Selina robbing a rich family by making use of Ivy’s new influence power.
Gotham returns from its long break with “A Dark Knight: Pieces of A Broken Mirror.” They’ve changed the subtitle of the seasons after the break most of the past seasons, but not this time it seems.
