Watching it now.

It's off to a good start.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Having Selena Kyle there when Bruce's parents die is a really cool touch.

Spoiler for Hidden:
If that's Catwoman she'll be a little... matronly(?) when Bruce grows up won't she?

And so far we have confirmed 2-face, Riddler and Penguin?  I'm not assuming the shooter is Joker yet.

Spoiler for Hidden:
Bruce is supposed to be 12. She can't be any older than 15, and could be as young as 13 or 14. So, not exactly a huge age difference.

She looked older in the dark.  I was guessing Huntress, maybe.

All things considered, they did better than I expected.

I'll be back next week.

Spoiler for Hidden:
I assumed so. She said that her name was Ivy, and she was tending a plant after the detectives were let in - or, at least, she was standing by one. I realize that PI's real name isn't Ivy, but they might have changed it to set up the allusion.

And I was thinking that the stand-up comic was the future Joker.

All in all, the first episode shows promise.

They always mispronounce names in these shows.... "Fal-koh-nee" not "Fal-cone". Just like it's "Raysh" al Ghul, not "Razz" al Ghul.

Other than that, and that by the time Bruce becomes Batman some of his Rouges Gallery will be a bit...old, I really liked it. Definitely will be tuning in next week.

Well, they want to have SOME of the recognizable characters in the show, and depending on when Bruce becomes Batman they won't be THAT old. Selina is 15. Both Cobblepot and Nygma look to be early 20s. Bruce is 12. He will surely be Batman by his early 20s, so they won't QUITE be ready to draw Social Security yet. :D

I really enjoyed the Pilot. It's hard for me to imagine any way it could have been better.

Thumbs up from me as well. Lots of good set-up while still managing to give us an entertaining show. When I compare this to the beginning of Smallville, or even Arrow, really, this is looking good right out of the gate. I'll be there next week, same Ba-uh, Gotham..time... aw, nerts.  ???

I like Bullock, Gordon, and Alfred...  I think they're laying the recognizable characters on a bit too thick, but the show is interesting and I am going to try to keep up with it.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

Riddler?
Great, now I have to watch this... ;)
I'm bad and that's good.
I'll never be good and that's not bad.
There's no one I'd rather be than me.

...unless I could be Batman, of course. Everybody wants to be Batman.

I like the fact that one of the big mysteries of the show is who will become Joker. They say they will have several possibilities based on various origin stories and we won't see who it really is for a while.

Won't be that long: first sweeps week, with lots of ads about it the week before.

Lil Catwoman has a freakishly adult looking face.

I dunno. I think in bright light she looks appropriately youthful.

I don't know about y'all, but I actually enjoyed the second episode more than the first.
