tennisgurl May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 I think one more season is a good call. We`re nearing the end game, with Bruce establishing his Bruce Wayne persona as well as his Batman life, our villains are just about in place, and you can see Jim becoming the world weary but good hearted guy the older Commissionaire Gordan will be in most Batman stories. We can wrap things up, while not spinning our wheels. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2022-gotham-in-the-media/page/12/#findComment-4322586
Camera One May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 (edited) I'm glad it was renewed. I have fallen way behind (I guess I quasi-quit after the first half of Season 3). I was mostly only interested in Bruce's story and I was hoping the show would last long enough for him to grow up and become Batman. The kid is still so young but a fifth season is better than nothing and hopefully this will force them to do more purposeful character arcs. This will give me some motivation to catch up to see the final season.

Chaos Theory May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 (edited) Gotham being renewed for a shortened 13 episode season brings it to a close for fans but for Fox's point of view it puts it past the 100 episode mark and therefore syndication. Either way I am happy. Even if it gets just 13 more episode, that is plenty to finish out the show. My guess that we won't actually see Bruce Wayne BECOME Batman but we will see that final step he takes towards the no turning back point where he decides to make the choice to become a vigilante.

thuganomics85 May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 Well, getting renewed for a final season is certainly a bit bittersweet, but considering the other options and, frankly, how bad the ratings have been recently, this is a solid enough of a victory. Definitely sounds like they're gearing for the finale to end with Bruce dawning the suit, and I guess we'll also see the villains really become who they are in the comics. But my main concern is we better see Gordon with that iconic stache, dammit! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2022-gotham-in-the-media/page/12/#findComment-4323281
DR14 May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 (edited) If S5 is the final season, we need to see how this Bruce ends up wanting to have a Bat persona in his vigilantism. We saw a bit of it this season in that one episode, but hopefully it is zeroed in more. Selina simultaneously wanting to have a persona of her own and given reasons for doing so needs to happen too. Regardless of everything else, watching those iconic characters in particular literally grow up on screen has been a treat. Which we could have gotten that with Ivy. S4 promised to be big in the development of those characters. I thought they were pretty hit/miss.

Kostgard May 14, 2018 Share May 14, 2018 59 minutes ago, icemiser69 said: I am not surprised that it was brought back, especially when factoring how fast other shows were being cancelled. No news was good news. It made much more sense to bring this show back over Lucifer, since this show has more episodes already in the can for syndication purposes. Plus, the writing for Gotham this season is much improved, and Lucifer's writing for this season has been all sorts of horrible. I think that's what WB did in regards to Lucifer/Gotham even though they had similar ratings. I'm sure the only one Fox was invested in hanging on to was Lethal Weapon because it was still pulling in decent (for Fox) numbers. I'm sure that no matter which got renewed - Gotham or Lucifer - it was only going to get one more season on Fox. Their numbers were already low for both and traditionally shows get lower ratings as they get older. Lucifer finishes this season with 55 episodes in the tank. Even if they got a full 22 episode order for next year, that still wouldn't get them to the minimum of 88 episodes for syndication, and outside of some miracle jump in the ratings, there was no way Lucifer would have gotten renewed for the 2019-20 season to get it to the 88 episode threshold for syndication. WB probably decided to cut their losses with that show (which is why it was one of the earlier cancellation announcements) and concentrated on seeing if they could get Gotham to the more desirable 100 episodes and a proper finish for syndication (plus I strongly suspect Gotham makes them more money internationally than Lucifer does). They probably sold those final 13 episodes to Fox for a song and plan on making the money up on the back end. Unfortunately, I don't think the writing played too much into it. They don't care how crappy the writing is as long as people watch. When people stop watching because of the crappy writing is when they start to care about it. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2022-gotham-in-the-media/page/12/#findComment-4324374

'Gotham' Boss Sets New Batman Prequel Series at Epix (Exclusive) MAY 16, 2018 9:00am PT by Lesley Goldberghttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/gotham-boss-sets-new-batman-prequel-series-at-epix-1112339 Quote Epix is getting into the DC Comics business. The MGM-owned premium cable network has handed out a 10-episode, straight-to-series order for Pennyworth, a drama set in the Batman universe from Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller. The series will revolve around Alfred Pennyworth, the best friend and butler to Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). The series is not a Gotham spinoff but rather an entirely new story exploring Alfred's origins as a former British SAS soldier who forms a secret company and goes to work with Thomas Wayne — Bruce's billionaire father — in 1960s London. Sean Pertwee, who plays Alfred Pennyworth on Fox's recently renewed Gotham, is not involved. Casting has not yet begun and the series is set in a completely different universe despite hailing from Heller and producers Warner Horizon. (Others who have played the Alfred role include Jeremy Irons, Michael Gough, Michael Caine, Alan Napier and William Austin, among others.) Pennyworth is based on DC characters created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Heller will pen the script and executive produce. The drama marks a reunion for Heller with Gotham's Danny Cannon, who will exec produce and direct the pilot as he did with the Fox Batman origin story.
