Gotham Season 1 Episode 15 Review – ‘The Scarecrow’
Martin Carr reviews the fifteenth episode of Gotham… It occurs to me that I may have been a little harsh on Julian Sands. For whatever reason I failed to buy into his portrayal of Dr Gerald Crane, feeling that there was no inherent threat, fear or sense of foreboding. In ‘The Scarecrow’ the metaphorical penny […]
The Week in Spandex – Daredevil, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Deadpool, Spider-Man, Suicide Squad, Legion of Superheroes, Green Lantern, LEGO Batman and more
Our weekly round up of all the news and talking points from the world of screen superheroes… Last week I promised to revert back to the usual format of the Week in Spandex following some technical issues with the site, but unfortunately they’ve continued into this week, so again time has been very limited as […]
The Joker to debut in Gotham this season
Prior to the premiere of Gotham, showrunner Bruno Heller suggested that we’d have a lengthy wait on our hands before we saw the introduction of the Clown Prince of Crime, but it seems those plans have changed as Heller has now revealed that The Joker could be making his debut in the first season of […]
Gotham Season 1 Episode 14 Review – ‘The Fearsome Dr. Crane’
Martin Carr reviews the fourteenth episode of Gotham… Julian Sands has always been a jobbing actor in predominantly risible fare. Warlock with the far superior Richard E Grant anyone? Or perhaps you prefer the less than engaging Boxing Helena with Miss Twin Peaks herself Sherilynn Fenn. Whatever you’re particular brand of vodka it would be […]

Gotham Series 1 Episode 13 Review – ‘Welcome Back, Jim Gordon’
Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Gotham… There is something strangely satisfying about seeing Jada Pinkett Smith chained up surrounded by instruments of torture. Whilst Ben McKenzie doing his full on righteous routine shoulder to shoulder with a seventy thirty split of dirty cops and those either side of that line, garnered a noticeably […]

The cast of villains in Gotham is about to grow by another member as Deadline are reporting Colm Feore (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) has been cast as Dr. Francis Dulmacher, aka The Dollmaker.

Gotham Season 1 Episode 12 Review – ‘What the Little Bird Told Him’
Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Gotham… This should have been called something like ‘Coming Home To Roost’, more snappy, less obvious, no spoon feeding of your demographic. This would make for a less obvious tagline and therefore a more entertaining forty minutes of television. As it is we get ‘What the Little Bird […]
