Has anyone heard any reviews? I know it's just starting but have it scheduled on my DVR. I know there are some big comic fans on here so just curious.
I have no expectations

mostly because I saw the pilot over a month ago and threw up a little in my mouth.

Cheese. So much cheese.

It's written for kids - meaning anyone under 40.
That's what I was hoping it wasn't

After watching a couple episodes of Sleepy Hollow
so much worse - sadly  
RasputinPrime : 9/22/2014 8:15 pm : link
but the IP alone will get it viewers. If Smallville get get 10 seasons there is no reason to think this show won't squeeze out a bunch.

It's particularly trying for anyone who spent any time reading the comics over the years. The continual reimaging and rebranding drives me nuts. I think it is really lazy writing.
It's been getting good reviews

Looking forward to it

i absolutely loved it  
twostepgiants : 9/22/2014 9:24 pm : link
very intense
Thought it was great, hope it gets better  
Vin R : 9/22/2014 10:43 pm : link
There was more blood in one episode than the whole Dark Knight Trilogy lol

One nitpick I have is.. Sarah Essen seems a bit old

Major problem I had was them introducing all the sub characters today.
I liked it too  
MyBoyBlue : 9/23/2014 12:08 am : link
I like the direction its headed. Hopefully they continue to build on it
shit was good  
SethFromAstoria : 9/23/2014 2:05 am : link
better than most pilots. Usually they suck.
Eh  
Phil in LA : 9/23/2014 2:22 am : link
more weak sauce. Phony darkness. False complexity. Oh, the horror. Also, why is Catwoman older than Bruce?
thought it was great... but probably because im under 40 :)  
GMAN4LIFE : 9/23/2014 9:04 am : link
looks intense
There was cheese no doubt  
Antdog23 : 9/23/2014 11:03 am : link
but it wasn't horrible. I actually liked it, it'll be on the DVR for a couple more episodes to see how it goes.
Boom

The ratings are in for the FOX’s Batman-less “Gotham” series premiere, and it looks like the Caped Crusader wasn’t needed after all. According to The Futon Critic, the inaugural hour-long episode took in nearly 8 million viewers and a 3.2 rating among adults 18-49, a strong turnout for a show branded on Batman’s rogues gallery of villains and a pint-sized Bruce Wayne.

That turnout was no doubt aided by stellar reviews, with a 95% critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes and an 88% audience approval.
From whatever I'd seen

it seemed like the most anticipated show of the season, so good numbers for night one is not a surprise. Let's see if they keep up. I enjoyed it. Gordon's personality though didn't seem to jibe very much with the way he comes across later on.
Cast is pretty top notch.  
LauderdaleMatty : 9/23/2014 5:05 pm : link
Lots of potential. Sure it was a bit cheesy. But it can grow. I'll give it a while. Still pissed they cancelled Almost Human which was pretty enjoyable.
I liked it

Best part was Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock.

Too early to tell with him. . Obviously they have Cat Woman, the Penguin, and Scarecrow already.
Which one was scarecrow?  
JOrthman : 9/24/2014 9:50 pm : link
You also had the Ridler.

Though does Ivy Pepper become  
LauderdaleMatty : 9/24/2014 10:12 pm : link
Poison Ivy?
Thats what I got  
JOrthman : 9/24/2014 10:46 pm : link
With her look and being around the plants.
I think there's a lot of potential  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 9/24/2014 10:59 pm : link
But they need to dial back the winks and nods too various parts of the Batman lore.
I like how  
spike : 9/24/2014 11:00 pm : link
they have a couple of actors from the Wire in the first episode.
So, I finally got around to watching the pilot.  
Klaatu : 9/27/2014 10:50 am : link
I thought it was okay, but nothing special. I can't believe it's got an 8.5 rating at imdb.com, though. That seems ridiculously high to me. Looks like VinR put his whole family and all of his friends on the payroll.
