Gotham Vs Smallville + - Off-topic

So the first episode of Gotham has aired and there has been time for Monday Night Football fans to catch up on their DVR recording of it.
What do you think?
Hopefully we can discuss the character development versus that of Smallville, how pissed we get when they change things from Earth 616 origins, all the signs of Bruce's dedication to becoming Batman, the ongoing plots....wherever you all want this thread to go.
I will start...Edward Nigma working for the police department in Forensics? WTH?
Wasn't Cobblepot from a rich family?
Selina saw the Waynes murdered?
Overall I think it was a good opener and has the potential to be as good or better than Smallville.
OT from the OT..how did you guys like the Absorbing Man in Agents of Shield?

While overall it was a great start, I was disappointed by the rapid intro of many villains. It almost felt like they shot their load all at once and now the series will need to live up to the pilot.
If they turn Bruce into Batman within this series, nt sure how it wold be. I only hope it doesn't turn into a Smallville. To many timelines were crossed and Smallville became to distorted.
It's interesting when faced by what we know and what is created today. Agents of S.H.I.L.D is another. I do like it.. somewhat. In this show, I want some of the Avengers to make an appearance.
I think Gotham has potential.

Ooops...SPOILER ALERT!!! Sorry!
TS that is one thing definitely different than Smallville, was the introduction of many of the main players....but I think it is done for a reason..as they are probably going to be a big part of the entire series. I think they may follow a similar formula as Smallville (FOX ripping off other shows success formula...NEVER...LOL) and that we will not see the Caped Crusader in cape until the series finale 10 years from now. There are many other characters we will see I am sure...Harvey Dent, Victor Fries, Ras Al Ghul, Basil Karlo....and was that the Joker on the stage entertaining Fish? 3 origins presented themselves of him...one where he was a failed comedian, another where he was the Red Hood, and another of just a murderous criminal. But his real name never known.

I say we ban the OP for such a joke of a thread
@M_T_M lets close this, what do you say?

I would go more with Poison Ivy as Batgirl was supposed to be James Gordon's daughter and about Robin's age.

Well he is engaged to Barbara who is supposed to be the mother of James and Barbara...perhaps Barbara will get pregnant next season so we see some snotty little Batgirl later in the seasons.

Yeah... Like most of the comicdom I am not happy with them changing the relationship between Johnny and Sue Storm making Johnny adopted so he can be played by a black actor. To date they have been able to seamlessly change characters race in the movies but to rewrite a family relationship?
In the comics they have matched Nick Fury being black by presenting him as Nick Fury's son. Hawkeye jokingly calls him Nick Fury 2.0.

Thread Necro ftw!
I watched Smallville all 10 seasons. I made it to about episode 5, season one of Gotham.
So yeah.
And I generally love any and all superhero stuff. TV shows, cartoons, movies. Anything. I'm very forgiving, even fantastic 4 movies I find the positives in. Lol

Cameron was nice to look at! I'm a Days of Our Lives fan though. Hmm...if Marie can add a little more content to her dances and not faint, I think she'll be safe next week. I image she has a bigger fan base than Jenny Garth. Jenny is very graceful in the ballroom dances. I really enjoyed Cameron's Paso.

I'd agree. You may think your daughter is innocent, but unless you know her every move which is kinda scary, but if you do, then you have nothing to be afraid of. I mean I'm not a man whore who goes around sleeping with all the women I can find. I stick to one But it would be nice if parents started to talk about this to their kids. (Mind you, I come from a place where they would never discuss or have a sex talk EVER)
No child over the age of 16 is innocent. You just have to hope they aren't death penalty guilty..in context to your morals as a parent of course.
Ha, yes it is off topic. Is it anymore off topic then the bible or if your Muslim compared to mobile phones? No. Just thought I would post on it as it is very bizarre.

I have a comment; however, I think I should keep this to myself as I don't want to offend anyone. There are other forums on the net where you can talk more freely about these things and where it is more appropriate. I really don't think that it is appropriate for older adults to be discussing these things with minors anyways. Especially where it looks like this discussion will be heading.

Discussions are totally fine as long as it doesn't lead to any revealing photos, videos, etc. I mean kids can now go to Wal-Mart and buy condoms. No one will stop you. You just have to get used to it. I understand many might be uncomfortable with that idea, but still. It's the generation gap you could say.

I'm 33. Employed, working as many hours as possible since I was 14. College graduate (BA in History, oddly enough). I've been married once and will be again in the not-so-distant future. I have a girlfriend and a 2 year-old daughter. I've been a tech nerd for over 25 years. I bought my first computer (Tandy 1000 RLX/HD) in 1990 when they cost $1000. Yes, that was a lot of lawns in the 90s. My first cell phone was a Tandy CT-350 purchased in 1993.

It’s that time of the year again, when you are home alone for your birthday. Well, do not worry because your Windows Phone has prepared a cake for you to blow out the candles when the time comes, because that is just how much it loves you and how much you should love it. To make it work, you simply need to blow into your device’s microphone and the candles go out when you apply enough air.

I'm a sucker for romantic comedy anime. This is the best one I've ever watched in my life. The complex relationships alltogether make for an amazing and heartfelt experience that has made me cry to watch it end.
Watch it, even if just an episode, if you like that sort of thing.
It's all too bad that the third season was cancelled after the OVAs. At least they made the very ending.
