Crispus Allen: "A Low-Rent Pembleton"

[kellinatorjones]

 

Crispus Allen, Gotham PD Major Crimes detective and partner to Renee Montoya. Played by Andrew Stewart Jones.

 

(Trivia for any Homicide:LOTS fans out there, "a low-rent Pembleton" is how Crispus Allen's creator, Greg Rucka, referred to him several DragonCons ago.)

He was so annoying.  Not sure if that was supposed to be his comic book personality, but he wasn't likeable at all.

It's not, Camera One. Comics Allen is fairly cranky, but an excellent cop and an extremely loyal partner. Basically he is Pembleton from Homicide, but a much better partner. Gotham Allen also doesn't look like comics Allen either; this guy has too many muscles and gives off a meathead vibe. Comics Allen is scary smart. He also wouldn't pull that damsel in distress shit with Montoya, as he wouldn't deny Renee the pleasure of beating any creeps up herself.

I was hoping to see Allen and Montoya, as their names were in the credits. Color me disappointed that they didn't show up. (I figure it was a contract thing, but they have been MIA since just before the winter break.)
