So Fox (TV) has all the rights to Batman and every related character but decided to make "Gotham"

20 plus episodes is too much.

Woulda been trash. Also, i'm glad they didnt' got with the actual batman. Woulda over saturated the batman market

They wouldn't have to do 20, do like 10 or 12 episodes. Most seasons now of great TV shows are around 10 episodes

we could've gotten an early 20s Rookie Batman fighting the up in coming villains but they decided to go with little Bruce and young Gordon

Go play the batman telltale game, it's pretty dope

Coulda made a Modok show

MODOK as a comedy would be amazing.

It's not like anyone is going to take him seriously. If he falls on his back he rolls around like a turtle, but he has ambitions for world domination.

Jason Alexander for MODOK

Should've done a police procedural but set in the DC universe. Make the Batman family literally background characters. Show Gotham from the eyes of a rookie cop at the start of Batmans career and how his presence effected the bureaucracy from within.


The dark Knight did a great job at this.

Um....

this is Gotham.

None of those shows are on a major network like fox or NBC doe...which is my point

Cop shows are cheaper. Can you imagine what a TV budget Batman would look like?

Pretty sure there's a ''live action Batman on TV'' ban right now from DC which is why you have discount Batman in "Arrow" and Gotham

 

[Mortal1]

I wish somebody else had the license like HBO honestly, HBO need to stop being such pussies and get an acclaimed comic book license.

 

[Jplaya2023]

i thought they couldn't make an actual batman tv show because he's in movies and doesn't DC have that bat embargo still intact

 

[MikelArteta]

Corny as hell.

Naw Fox bought all the TV rights for Batman to make Gotham. They supposedly paid a lot for it too, this is probably why they killed off Batman's villains on Arrow

From Fox's chairman....

"We own all the rights.That's what we're licencing. [Warner] brought us the entire franchise for a very healthy licence fee. We're not negotiating this piece meal. We have all of the underlying Batman rights for the entire franchise for this series. "That's what I like about this, it's not some sort of adjunct companion series. This is the Batman franchise, just backing it up. I think that gives it a real focus as to what the show is about and what stories we're telling. "Warner Brothers manages the entire franchise and its one of their top global franchises of all. So there will be an awareness of both and we'll have to coordinate when we're in the market place, but the productions are not piggy-backing off one another."

That's why it's retarded that they made Gotham

they coulda made a fukking nightwing show. These dudes are fukking awful.

They'll never give Nightwing the respect he deserves. That's why they never went back to the Grayson show

well since they own the rights they probably didn't want to mess up the movie tie ins and probably makes more sense to go with some of the lesser characters.
