Why has no one ever asked this: is there a point to Gotham without Batman?

The kid playing Bruce Wayne reminds me of Andrew Garfield

Speaking of shows...

So Penguin is in love with the Riddler?

I knew that's where the show was headed. This show...

This show is awesome.
True the Penguin loving the Riddler is a weird/risky angle - but not too unbelievable. Dude has always represented the opposite of Bruce wayne, an unloved child from a wealthy family and no matter how much money n power he accumulates he never finds love. So not a far stretch that the first time he experiences someone caring for him he things he loves him, and would not matter if male or female to someone that deprived.

But I have faith in this show's continued success in building incredible stories of how the villains came to be. The Mad Hatter was dope. The pieces are in place for Penguin to be heartbroken yet again, and ultimately further developing into the Penguin we all know.

Also, didn't last episode have that whole Batman video game appeal - with the phone ringing in the streets like a side mission in Arkham City to the multiple TVs with the Hatter on it in the precinct. Show is sooo good.

Why a show without Batman? Because Batman has the best rogues in comic history... period. This is basically a show about Gordon encountering Batman's rogues.
