The problem is most writing in general is pandering trash. We've just been normalized to white male pandering trash from jump. You can't tell me Rambo wasn't a "Larry Sue". But as soon as a woman does it we're all like "Why can't these writers just chill with this bs
"The writers just gotta realize this extra burden and step their game up instead of getting into a battle with the legit sexists and racists while ignoring people who would love well written women and minorities. Nobody said shyt about Miles Morales "replacing" Peter Parker cause that movie was undeniable.

I was worried they were gonna make her be a saint to him before the betrayal. But that was some good nuance.She hit him with the
“ what are u doing inside??”
She didn't deserve what happened. But he didn't know it would go that far and she was a dikk to him every now and then.

I think the problem with the no batman thing is that he’s supposed to be an ever present threat to criminals, that was his whole spiel in the beginning of the movie but this show really doesn’t ever talk about the vigilantism or super criminals. I understand they want to make it grounded but to completely ignore it feels like batman is on vacation
Otherwise teh show is really good its just hard to pretend it Gotham

White men pandering is really baked into our dna at this point. You got people of other races and cultures upset when white men aren’t the center of something

A show spinoff of a movie is gonna be a hard sell especially without batman. Its like the Godzilla show on Apple TV

And it’s good that they make Gotham truly appear to be huge, just like New York. HBO is getting to right with this one.
In everything outside of this Batman timeline, the previous movies made it seem like Gotham was “manageable” to Batman and with some true supervillains he knew where to focus his attention — and deal with the petty criminals, which is crazy.
If we bring it into reality and look at the scale of New York or LA or Mexico, not even a regular police dept can cover that much ground.
So a crime family circling the block on their drug empire is very feasible and they can do it in the shadows.
And Gotham is still a mess right now.
