Why So Serious? dandock on how 'Gotham' told a Batman story that was completely bonkers and, in doing so, proved origins don't have to be boring
premiered on FOX in September 2014, the general consensus was that it would be Batman’s answer to: an origin series that took Bruce Wayne from young orphan to Caped Crusader. The Superman prequel had been born amidst a sea of teen dramas like, over a decade before something like The CW’s Arrowverse would redefine how we approached live action superheroes on TV.
When it comes to live-action Batman efforts, there is a pretty singular approach. Most of them are limited by the fact that they are movies with a planned start and finish. Whatever plotline and villain scheme that’s born at the beginning has to be wrapped up by the end. It’s why Batman films tend to cycle through a villain or two in each movie, wiping out the old set by the time the credits roll.
This freewheeling experience culminates in its presentation of the Joker, one that it initially tackles with hesitant reverence . The show would eventually introduce Jerome, a maniacal criminal who runs through a Greatest Hits Collection of Joker antics without ever being called “the Joker,” including the fairly recent, notorious “face removal” arc. He dies and is later revived, only to die again and reveal that he isn’t actually the Joker.
It was a mad method that fans would passionately latch onto, with a whole community emerging from a spectrum that ranged from fanshippers and guilty pleasure watchers. The hopes that this would be a Batman series that stuck to some kind of iconic structure in regards to building its Dark Knight toward the eventual donning of the cape and cowl were long gone by the timeaired its “Ten Years Later” finale.
