AoSHQ is, I think, horrified.
‘Gotham.’ It’s apparently like Smallville, except with more bloody exit wounds (I assume: I actually never watched Smallville). As to whether it will suck, or not… well, I may be more hopeful than AoSHQ. I think that the people doing it may have actually looked at the Year One source material.
Guess we’ll see.

It has Donal Logue in it. That is a plus. He added a breath of fresh air to the second season of “Life”.
He was able to deliver the following lines perfectly in “Just Like Heaven”. “Because someday, trust me, I’m gonna need help movin’ a body. When that day comes, I don’t wanna hear any sh!t from you.”
Donal Logue was featured in the second season of Vikings (he appeared in the first season, but really shined in the second one), in which he plays Horik I. I highly recommend this show, by the way.
They could have looked at the Adam West source material instead…
I’m thinking more Arrow than Smallville. Smallville was bright, cheerful, and mostly monster of the week. Arrow is more “The world is going to heck. Fortunately, the good guy has already been there, and learned some fancy martial arts.”
Looks like they’re sticking with the Dark Knight ambiance. It may actually Not Suck.
Since this is FOX, I expect it to be run out of order and cancelled before the first season ends.
The closing shot of the outline of the Gotham skyline has Zepplins. I know feel I’ve been promised Zepplins. My interest of the show will hinge on that.
Gotham- before the Joker, before Catwoman, there were… AIRSHIP PIRATES!
Who kidnapped Bruce Wayne, tried to hold him for ransom, and ended up training him instead.
I vote for “cancelled before the first episode is over.”
