Every time I think about this series it amazes me that no one thought to use it as a template for the Gotham TV series. This was a major missed opportunity.
Nora in the first book is Nora Fields, she is the wife of the cop Mr Freeze killed in story one and the Gotham city coroner. So Mr Freeze just widowed a woman named Nora by Freezing her husband to death, i am sure you to can draw the parallels much better than i could.
God, I really love you guys' Batman discussions. Finally finished all 4 books of Gotham Central and it is PHENOMENAL. You guys ever planning on covering the rest of the series? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Yeah this is easily one of the best comic runs ever. I finally got vols 3-5 for Christmas funnily enough. I am glad Gotham (the show) is the insane over the top nonsense that it is but yeah this comic would make for a great tv series. Wait till ya get to vol 2. The issue about the person who turns on the bat-signal has one of the best scenes in all of Batman.
I would LOVE cap, Eric, and Steve to do a video on grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum. It's definitely in my top 5 Batman stories list, because of how strange and unique it is for its take on the Batman mythos. Dave Mckean's art just makes that book for me, I would love to hear your guys' take on it.
One of the best DC series. Love it the end of the series gets absorbed into the larger DCU but I still think it was cool. It's also interesting comparing this style of the GCPD mixed with Morrison's take. Some of the characters did appear in later DC books.
Here is your dissertation on the differences between Firefly and Firebug because why not. Bug is pretty much more of the explosives expert with no finesse. He is former military and is not trying to make a big event out of it. His family died in like 3 unrelated building accidents apparently so he decides to destroy all the buildings in Gotham.......cause why not? He is also able to fly despite not having wings and is really not thought out at all. later year he is used more as a heavy version of Firefly. As a Firefly fanboy I loved his role in this book. No one and I mean NO ONE cares about Firebug. Fly has a personality and is loads of fun. Bug is just sorta there.
I love Gotham (show) as a live-action satire of long-running absurd comic book narratives. And of course because it doesn't have Batman. also because it's well filmed. And it KNOWS what it is.

MVG You are so wrong. Gotham for what it is now is must watch television. They're doing their own thing.
Rider 😂😂😂😂
@Kevin Fucking Spacey fuck off dude
Gotham Central is basically Batman meets The Wire.
This is what Gotham should've of been.

Most focused and narrative based commentary/review for aaaaages. More of this shit, When you guys are on it - you're on it!
:)
Gotham Central is my favorite Batman comic-run. And the irony is that Batman isn't even a central character.
I'm so thrilled to see you two doing more trade reviews. hopefully this the first of many to come?
Yep, working on it!
Well look at it this way, freeze 2 issues, firebug 3 issues, Two Face 2 more issues than before.
CSI : Gotham
NCIS : Coast City
I still have the 1st issue of Gotham central

Allen on Gotham almost reminds me of Warren Keffer from Babylon 5 Season 2
This was a great discussion. I would love to see reviews of Volumes 2-4 if you guys feel like doing them. Keep up the great work!

Not to be pushy, but when do you guys think the Punisher commentary will be up? Thanks and i'm looking forward to it.
It's on its way :)
I've been out of the loop for a bit, but is Eric living with Cap?
READ 52. READ IT ASAP. IT IS WONDERFUL.
Yeah the comics are Great! 😁😁😁
I’ve always wondered what what would happen if the Gotham central cops met the suicide squad.
