I hadn't seen the pilot for Gotham until last night, and it was both sillier and more fun than I had expected. Somehow, I'd thought this show was actually trying to be a dark, serious crime drama that just happened to have young versions of Catwoman, Penguin, the Riddler and Poison Ivy in it. And my mind was boggling, trying to figure out how the show was going to pull off that blend of tones — but no, it's just very, very goofy.



Така описан Gotham, в сравнение Arrow звучи като връх на цивилизацията.
Anyway, Catwoman stalks the streets of Gotham, stealing some milk from a lady by cutting her shopping bag and then lifting a fancy man's wallet. Catwoman then goes to an alley, where she feeds the milk to a stray cat.
At this point, everybody watching the pilot with me started shouting "Noooo!" because if you've ever fed milk to a cat, you know what happens next: cat barf, all over the place. Why does Baby Catwoman want to cause intestinal distress to the cats of Gotham? Is this her new origin story, that she originally hated cats and schemed to make them barf everywhere, until she had a change of heart?
