Ok when
bad bad.
bad bad bad.
But yea, it's pretty bad. I really wish they hadn't shown every villain in the first episode.
I hate him so much

Characters did what the plot dictated, not the other way around.
I can see a good show under this shit. It's painful to see them fuck that up.
There's a few characters that are intriguing like Bullock, Falcone, Fish, Penguin and Selina. The rest fade into the background. Gordon's too every man, a cypher with no unique hook and an incompetent. He's meant to be a former soldier yet he gets punked by everyone like he never working the beat before.
it summed up everything i needed to know about the show.
I was going to respond with "At least they didn't have
Still, there is a way I think they could still go with that villain that would be really, really awesome, but I don't know if they're up to it.
I can't recall his name, but the guy who did Falcone was a recurring character in Rizzoli and Isles where he also played a mob boss, and was great in that as well.
I really, really hope that this is a case of horrible pilot going horribly wrong, the creators trying to cram everything idea and plot hook that they can in order to sell the show to the execs, and now with some breathing space it can actually do something with the credentials it has.
Better then Birds, haven't seen the Wonder Woman pilot. WB/DC continues the tradition of having Batman spin-off tv shows that are terrible.
Pilots being horrible are the norm. Now we'll see how good they are without the pilot excuse.
The problem with the premise is that the audience it's meant for already has a general idea of how everything will turn out, so we're going to have to wait X number of years to watch things slowly head in that direction. Might have worked better as a miniseries.
hmm yes
gud suits 2
Hahahaha
God that's stupid.
It would be a cool concept if it didn't reinforce the idea of "waiting for things that are probably never going to happen."
The mob, sure, but come the hell on.
Right now, it looks like they're going to constantly tease the audience with, "Hey look, Poison Ivy! Aren't you curious on whether or not she'll actually do anything on the show?"
I would have liked it more if they had just said, "Yeah, all those things with Poison Ivy happened three decades ago. Here's the next chapter in the story."
Birds of Prey tried that, but it was ruined because they tried to make it a "Monster of the Week" show, rather than a crime noir show. Which only works if you're an animated series like Batman Begins.
Birds of Prey didn't have a chance, it was made by people without talent. Except Dina Meyer - she was perfectly cast.
"Poison Ivy? That's awesome! She has the sexy green costume and red hair and she can hypnotize men with her pollen and create plant monsters. Is she going to be in this?"
"Sure, but in the pilot, she's a little girl who loses her dad and now she's sad."
"I... don't care about that. At all. I was more interested in the plant monsters and the sexy green costume."
Technically he was innocent of the crime they thought he did.
