Last night marked the debut of the first live action Batman series since the campy 1966 version that starred Adam West. Gotham, follows the events in the infamous city that lead to the origins of the iconic caped crusader. As it is a major moment in television, we will now present our impressions of the first episode of Fox’s Gotham.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
A far cry from Adam West's Light Knight indeed. Like where it could go though. Funny enough that I, as I guessed, wouldn't like Gordon at all.
It's a shame given A) he's the main character and B) going to have to be the one to lead the police through Gotham's darkest hours with none of the charisma or heart to do it.
By this point, Riddler and Penguin are looking the most interesting, but they're going to provide a challenge if the Joker's going to fill the void between their personalities of insanity bridged with a sadistic glee on the Penguin's part.
What's up with all these "Impressions"? Is it just me or does 'Review' ring clickbait more than 'Impressions'?
It is like asking what is the difference between jeans and slacks, or a t-shirt and a dress shirt... 1 is formal, the other is not. Reviews also have a sense of finality to them, where impressions are more flexible.
