Seriously, Though, How Many Times Do We Have to Watch Batman’s Parents Die?

Last night, Gotham — Fox's long-awaited and endlessly trailered Batman show without Batman — hit the small screen. And if you have ever even heard of Batman, this next bit of information won't be a spoiler: His parents die! The Caped Crusader's origin story has been tweaked and reinterpreted countless times throughout the decades, but Bruce Wayne always starts his war on crime to avenge his parents' death in an alleyway stick-up. And so, in virtually every TV and movie adaptation of Batman — from the 1989 Tim Burton movie to his various animated adventures and beyond — we see li'l Bruce stand by, jaw agape, as Thomas and Martha Wayne get gunned down. How many goddamn times do we have to see this brutality? And will anyone ever significantly alter it? We put together this little video remix/mash-up to show all of the various Wayne murders, synced up to climax with the moment everything changed for Brucie. Watch it, see all the tropes, and maybe you, too, will decide to become a Bat.

it would have been better if Thomas and Martha were fleshed out and either killed mid-season or in the season finale so the audience will actually get some emotional reaction from it, kind of like what happened in Game of Thrones when Ned got his head chopped. that was so shocking and heartbreaking because the audience had known Ned and his daughters and his family and formed an attachment to the characters. in Gotham it was just, "eh, gets the plot going I guess. lel Bruce screams like a girl."

of course also doing it that it makes sense in the narrative, obviously. not just going for shock value like the later seasons of GoT.

anyhow, I'd expected it since this is all supposed to be pre-Batman stuff that we'd get to know more about the Waynes. rather disappointing they didn't went that route.

Is [SPOILER] The Same Character On 'Gotham' And 'Arrow'? - MTV

[Blackbeard]

probably not. the Dollmaker in Arrow targeted young women while the Dollmaker in Gotham targets children.


better episode than the last. I hope they eventually shed light on why the Penguin doesn't like being called the Penguin.
