The acting was decent, plotline was thick with twists and returns and the action was filled with a substantial amount of carnage.

But what makes this show isn’t the story about a young billionaire Bruce Wayne the difficult decisions of rockin the double breast or sweater vest. It’s all about the city and how the city molded each and every character that we grew up loving or hating.

The story centers around a young James ‘Jim’ Gordon at the Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) before he became Commissioner. He’s just a lowely detective tryna do the right thing in a city of currupt cops, bribed politicians, territorial organized crime rings and psychopaths by the dozen.
