I had high expectations for the series, but none of them were matched. I was disappointed with it, to say the least.

My main problem is that they're using characters that are essential for Batman, but not so much for Gotham. I don't really care for villains that have no importance during Bruce's childhood, but in the show, they are given that importance, taking away the paradox between Batman and his rogues gallery.

I for once, expected to see Thomas Elliot being a part of Bruce's childhood or the Waynes playing a much more influential role, or a city overwhelmed with organized crime and plot twists...but no. All the GCPD supporting cast seem older that Gordon, so by the time he becomes commissioner, most of them would be gone. And like that, many other things that I just can't stand.

And the last thing that pisses me off the most, is that no matter how it is written, it will make profit and have viewers because is related to the most iconic "superhero" ever. Sadly, that goes for almost all other Batman related stuff.

Gotham... not what I expected.
