PLOT
Jim Gordon is a rising detective in corrupt Gotham City, where his late father was a successful district attorney. Brave, honest and determined to prove himself, Jim hopes to return the city to the glamorous, purer version he remembers as a child. He and his partner, legendary Detective Harvey Bullock, must navigate the dirty politics of Gotham's justice system, even as they tackle a high-profile case, the murder of billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. Gordon becomes a friend to their young orphan, Bruce.



OVERVIEW
This show is based on the early life of Bruce Wayne but rather focuses more on the renown detective Jim Gordon. Among the DC produced series this is definitely the most mature and my personal best. The series shows villains as normal people with psychopath intentions or lab experiments gone wrong. Although the directors of the show did excellently well, there are somethings that I would have done a little differently.😌
Take Bruce Wayne for example, what the directors/ writers did was keep him young from season 1 up until season 2 and even more to come. What I would have done was  to make each season about 3 years into the future such that if Bruce was 12 in season 1, he'd be 15 in season 2 and 18 in season 3. The growth won't be for him only obviously also the joker, penguin, riddler, catwoman, poison ivy etc. By doing so, we would also see his rise to batman and see him partnering with or even taking over from Jim in season 4 or season 5. 🤗🤗
The boy we all thought would be the joker was killed by Theo Galavan......😕. But maybe he was sent to Hugo strange's lab and was reborn. So since the bus containing Hugo's creations crashed, he would have escaped and recovered his memories because he has to be the joker 😩😩...it suits him so well.
