…Much Better.
"Welcome back to Gotham City, my friends. I'm surprised as you are that I'm happy to be here, what with its crime-ridden streets, its incompetent police force, its cartoonish villains, its maddening dialogue, and its general insanity. But "Damned If You Do…", Gotham's second season premiere, is a definite improvement over season one's aimlessness, although I worry that it's just a temporary fix.
Either way, however, Gotham has achieved something I thought impossible. It took Barbara Keen, the absolute worst character of the 2014-15 TV season, and made her interesting.
If you somehow avoided the first season of Gotham, here's what you need to know: It's obviously a prequel of sorts to the Batman saga, but it exists in a weird Venn diagram between the unbelievably campy Batman ‘60s TV series, the strangeness of Tim Burton's Batman Returns film, the violence of the Nolan Bat-movies, all with just a touch of Frank Miller's resolutely inaccurate All-Star Batman & Robin comic. By this I mean sometimes Gotham often seems like it's being written as a children's show, with characters' actions and motivations presented without subtext; the setting is strange and faux-Gothic, with all the supervillains as esoterically weird as those of Returns; it's continually punctuated with moments of extreme violence; and that no Batman character on this show acts in any manner like their comic counterparts…"
