Gotham is the origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. James Gordon and Harvey Bullock are assigned to track down the killer of Thomas and Martha Wayne. The story behind Commissioner James Gordon';;;;;s rise to prominence in Gotham City in the years before Batman';;;;;s arrival. Along the way, Gordon becomes involved with Gotham';;;;;s Mafia families and associates including gangster Fish Mooney, Don Carmine Falcone, and Italian mob boss Salvatore Maroni. Eventually, Gordon is forced to form an unlikely friendship with Bruce, one that will help shape the boy';;;;;s future in becoming the Batman.
In tonight's episode, Bruce Wayne stepped out of Gordon's shadow and started to deal with his own anger issues. This automatically makes "The Mask" the most interesting episode of Gotham so far.
"Black Mask" is an enduring bad guy in the Batman mythos, and it's good to see the show tout one of the real pillars of the Caped Crusader's rogues gallery.
Instead of charging ahead with its newfound intensity, Gotham plays it safe and continues with its familiar bag of tricks, but how much longer will audiences be content with what's familiar?
I'm still on the edge about Bruce's involvement overall on the series, but switching things up and giving him something new to do was a positive swing.
Gotham is settling into a welcome groove when focused on the city's underground forces... yet still can't find a way to make its case of the week feel significant, either in terms of larger narrative arcs or the character development of Jim Gordon.
