The background orchestration made that scene as much as Monaghan did. Unlike the two posters above me, I’m liking it more, rather than less. I really like the slow building of the character development of Bruce, Selina, Alfred, and The Penguin. I’m not a fan of Fish Mooney, although it’s brilliantly played by Jada Smith.
I am a Gotham fan. Unlike ABC’s two comic book based series, it continues to hold my interest. However, ABC/Disney’s remake of classic children’s tales turns me off.
I thought Gotham was about as subtle as a kick in the nuts. The endless parade of villains before they became such was so tiring. “Hey look at me i have a god damn ? on my mug, bet you cant guess who i am!?!”
The sad thing is there was potential for a good show here, if it instead focused on just GCPD and the gang, specifically penguin’s rise to power I think it would have worked. Insead we get ridiculous scenes with little Bruce and Selena.
