I have always been a huge Batman fan. I have never read the comics to be honest, but any tv series and movie, I have loved. So it only be fitting that I have enjoy Gotham, now in it's finally season and only 8 episodes left. At first I was leery when I heard of the show coming on. But what a surprisingly excellent show it has been. It's been great to see the villains become who they are. All the actors did stunning performances in their parts. The actors playing Barbara Keen, Harley Quinn and Jeremiah Valeska, AKA Joker, and the Riddler, have totally stolen the scenes they were in. Played respectfully by, Erin Richards,Francesca Root-Dodson. Cameron Monaghan, and Cory Micheal Smith. They were played out with such crazed gusto. Another one of my favorite parts this season has been watching Camren Bicondova as the emerging Catwoman. She has been a treat to watch develop. The whole series really, she has been very good, and brought a formidable job to the Catwoman part. This season with Harley Quinn finally in place I have enjoyed watching not only Selina's tormented relationship with her, but also Ivy.
.I love this scene! It looks like their friendship transitioning to another level. They have a different type of relationship now. They respect each other, but their morals and beliefs are so different now, that they can no longer be friends. The fact that Ivy was literally going to kill Selina, it shows us the tension between them is so great, their relationship will forever be tainted. The only thing about the show ending, as we are building up all the Sirens, we will now will never get to see more of that excitement.
Gotham has been one of those show that surprised the hell out of me. I'll miss this level of a very well acted ensemble cast.
I too only enjoy Batman and loved this show. The acting was very well done for tv. And finally, a show that did Ivy justice! Her character actually has a presence, and powers and abilities were quite awesome and refreshing. The classic, sinister Ivy.
ReplyDeleteAnd Harley Quinn is spooky crazy.
I too will miss the show. I'm a season behind, but look forward to the Harley scenes.
ReplyDeleteThis is honestly the version of Harley Quinn that I've been waiting for my whole life. She's unstable, incredibly dark, and manipulative. They've taken away her cuteness and cheerfulness which left us with the best version of her in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI agree all the actors have been fun to watch.
Can’t wait to see the look on Jeremiah’s face when he see’s what Selina’s became after shooting her! I’m also looking forward to seeing her go full-on ally cat on his ass!
ReplyDeleteAnd The Clown Queen of Crime in the flesh! She’s perfect & I love that they respect the core elements of Harley Quinn’s original costume down to the color scheme and harlequin collar!
I’ve never seen Gotham. Will have to give it a try. I loved the campiness of the Batman TV series... and the amazing cast. Enjoyed a couple of the films. Was never much into comic books.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a great series. The Penguin and The Riddler are my favs. Also, Batman’s butler. He could get it.
ReplyDeleteXoXo
I love Gotham, too, and love the origin stories of these characters.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love Barbara, The Joker and The Riddler, whom I find absolutely sexy and adorable.
I was dying for Harley Quinn. I'm so glad they made her the raw version. Campy and crazy as hell.
ReplyDeleteAnd let us not forget Ben Mackenzie! Hubba hubba!
ReplyDeleteI admit to never watching. Maybe I'll do an On Demand viewing.
ReplyDeleteYep....that was a good show down for sure. That actress gives a good twisted performance of Harley Quinn.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping Shane West delivers on Bane. He is so cute.
