Description for season finale:

Quote :

As Gotham City’s gang war reaches its boiling point, Fish Mooney goes head-to-head with Maroni and Penguin in an attempt to re-stake her claim on the city. Meanwhile, Barbara and Leslie Thompkins are brought together after recent events, and Bruce searches Wayne Manor for any hints that his father might have left behind in the all-new “All Happy Families Are Alike” Season Finale episode of GOTHAM airing Monday, May 4 (8:00-9:00 ET/PT) on FOX. (GTH-122) (TV-14 D, L, V)

It's going to go down in the season finale.

Watched the season finale and..... It was good. I was surprised they killed off Maroni, had Falcone "quit", and was disappointed they left it open on whether or not Fish is dead. Loved seeing Penguin's King of Gotham moment, along with Nygma's descent into madness. That was great. Let's not forget that Bruce pretty much fucking finds the BATCAVE!!!!! Got me pumped for season 2.

Can't wait to see how this turns out. Especially since Barbara just lost her marbles this season.

Why have Fish Mooney in the front cover instead of Bruce Wayne?

Probably because 1) it's Jada Smith, Will Smith's wife, and 2) her character was pretty much the big bad of the season along with Penguin.

I wonder if it'll remain in the same timeslot going against Supergirl.

It looks like season 2 has begun filming as well!


Also here's the Gotham version of the TV Guide comic-con special covers:

HAHAHA! Cameron Monaghan was awesome! Just crashed the panel.

Excitement rising!

Solid first season, hopefully this one improves the faults in season one.

Where's Hanni... err... Calendar Man?

One month to go!

Still haven't finished watching Season One. Maybe I will tonight, I dunno.

It's nothing to rush for. Just wait for it on Netflix. I think it'll be up by the September.

@yonny616 Oh no. I know where to watch all the episodes of season one. I just haven't finished it because... well... this show is kinda cheesy.

I hope this season doesn't have so many long breaks.

So far, what we know of Gotham’s second season is this: It’s going to introduce a lot of new villains, and more importantly, it’s going to do away with the procedural element of the show, making the story arcs much more serialized. And hopefully, that can bring back some of the viewers that left the show in the latter half of season 1.

When talking about season 2, star Ben McKenzie made it clear that while he’s still very proud of the show they made last year, he thinks season 2 will be a bit closer to what fans want. “I think we made a mistake relatively early on in trying to introduce a villain and take care of that villain in one episode: catch them, send them to Arkham, do whatever,” McKenzie said. “That was just a mistake. We should’ve never done it.”

It also didn’t help the show’s case that fans had to endure a number of mini-hiatuses after Fox added 6 more episodes to the show’s first season in October of last year. “We were ordered for 16 [episodes]. We were going to have one break and come back and finish the rest of them in terms of the airing, and then we added six more, so we had to break again and then we had to come back again,” McKenzie said. “And it’s hard for the audience to follow that many changes in a series in terms of when it’s airing and when it’s not.”

More than anything, McKenzie realizes that audience members are always one click away from another great show. “It’s challenging right now,” he said. “There’s so much competition out there.”

Yet, with season 2 already underway, McKenzie feels really good about the direction the show is going. As he put it, “The audience really wants to understand who these people are and live with them, sit with them and enjoy them. Whether they’re evil or good, they are entertaining. So that’s what we’re doing in season 2. [It’s] really kick ass. I think it’s exactly what the fans want to see.”

I hope this mean the series has found its footing. Hope the breaks aren't as long and as many. Seems like things will be arc based instead of "villain of the week" like it was. I still think season should have focused on the mob, developed the Wayne family and ended the season with the Wayne murders.  Either way, I'm excited for season two.

Wooooo! Season two looking to be shaping up pretty awesome.

Hopefully, Balloonman returns.

Curiosity may kill the cat, but it inspires the Bat when young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz, far left) and his mercurial manservant, Alfred (Sean Pertwee), hit the family-skeleton jackpot while exploring the secret lair beneath the mansion. “It changes everything in Bruce’s life,” Mazouz reveals of the space the pair uncovered in last May’s finale. “It changes how he sees Alfred, the criminal side of Gotham, even how he sees his parents.” The hidden enclave will likely also surprise viewers expecting to see all sorts of gadgets and high-tech toys. “It’s definitely not the Batcave,” Mazouz cautions. “What is down there are clues to Thomas Wayne’s secret life and what he was trying to do before being killed.”

Can't wait to see how they handle the cave. I wonder what will be down there. What if there's a little easter egg for the Court of Owls.

Balloonman is the villain Gotham deserves.

I kinda don't like how Bruce Wayne is the youngest character in the show. :/
