First Gotham Trailer Full of Promises
The first trailer for the TV show Gotham debuted last night, and it’s full of promises for all sorts of Batman-related stuff – just none of the stuff we want to see.
I wrote about this show a few weeks ago, and I think this trailer just embiggens everything I was worried about then. Look at them tease all of the individual villains, the ones promised in that leaked script that the people at io9 didn’t like. But other than that, I suppose it looks OK. The show has been picked up for at least 13 episodes, and you better believe I’m going to watch them. But I remain slightly hesitant.
Of course, I’m still watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., so I’ll give anything a chance.

My only fear is Fox is notorious for canceling successful, or even rebounding shows. Look at Terra Nova, it was lagging in ratings at first, and of course baseball hurt it but eventually it started doing well and was planned for a second season. Then the execs said no, we don’t like the show it’s not our taste. And this year we had the same happen to Almost Human. It was an excellent show and from what I knew was getting good ratings, and Fox goes and cancels it. It seems if it’s not American Idol, or one of it’s clones Fox cancels it.
I’d never considered that, but then I don’t pay attention much to inside TV stuff. So I suppose that’s entirely possible. But I think FOX is going to a lot of effort to jump on the superhero bandwagon. I think that’ll protect Gotham somewhat…unless it’s terrible. Then cancel away!
