Fox Renews GOTHAM for Fifth and Final Season
Over the past couple days, Fox has renewed or cancelled several of its shows, in preparation for its Upfronts panel tomorrow. However, one series that wasn’t decided on immediately was Gotham.

Now, Fox has made a decision….and it may be bittersweet for fans. Fox has announced that Gotham will return for a fifth season. However, this will be the final season of the show. The season will wrap up the show’s unique origin stories for Gotham City’s heroes and villains, while it will particularly focus on…

GOTHAM Review: Tonight’s The Night
Warning: This review contains spoilers Barbara is back! Every time Barbara and Jim interact we are in for a treat. With Galavan needing Jim distracted the reasoning behind Barbara appearing felt natural. What makes this season better than the last is that it is more focused, not one episode has felt like filler so far which helps keep the audience interested. With Galavan finally letting Barbara off of her leash she is ready get what she’s always wanted, the chance to kill Jim Gordon. She casually walks in to the GCPD (which has worse security than S.T.A.R. Labs,), and asks to speak to Jim. Gordon decides to speak with Barbara, and tries…

GOTHAM Review; Scarification
Warning: This review contains spoilers The first few episodes of ‘Gotham’ were a vast improvement on last season. The tine was more consistent, the villains are better and Bruce is not the focal point of the story. Some of that changes is this episode. We see that the Penguin is still trying to find his mother, and his worrying driving him insane. This is an interesting arc for the Penguin. I believed that he would be more in control and strong. After the progress of the last season. I didn’t think he would return to wining like the first season. Though It is justified after what Galavan has put him through. Galavan’s real plan was…

GOTHAM Review: The Last Laugh
Warning: this review contains spoilers After last week’s shocking ending, we find Jim and Harvey trying to find a lead on the Maniax case. This episode starts off strong with a fun interrogation scene with Gordon and Bullock. It’s nice to have the two working together again. Harvey and Jim have good chemistry and make the episode. Hopefully they can keep this for the remainder of the season, because things are about to get weird. We see Jerome and Barbara at his father’s house. Jerome plans on blaming his father for his escape from Arkham Asylum, setting up evidence that makes it look as if the whole plan was his idea. His…

GOTHAM Review: Knock, Knock
Warning: This review contains spoilers In the second episode of Gotham’s sophomore season, we see yet another solid episode. We still have some issues with the tone and pacing, but it was a lot better than previous episodes. We start off with the Maniax, which is apparently what our team of psychopaths’ are calling themselves. They are on the roof of the Gotham Gazette, and are spray-painting the letters M-A-N-I-A-X-! on helpless reports as they throw them of the roof and onto the street. They want the people of Gotham to be in fear of them. They want to be in control of Gotham City. This is what makes the lack of the Penguin is this episode so…
