Gotham (TV Series) Rise of the Villains: Worse Than a Crime (2015) User Reviews

Taking a break, at the peak.

This episode of Gotham was more or less as the last episode, only it was one slight little thing that made a differ. Tonight's episode was Crazy! It had everything you could wish for, not to mention the little teaser in the end!

I'll make this short and without spoilers. Jim Gordon is going more and more into battle with his inner demons, as the chase for Bruce takes heat. The episode is packed with action and a overall "feelgood" touch to it.

The last minute however is something that really caught my eyes. I think it is safe to say that the next episode is going to be well worth the wait!

9/10, perfect mid season finale.

Best Gotham episode I have seen!

The episode is unlike any other episode of Gotham. There's all suspicions towards each character. I actually found it thrilling that Gordon worked with Penguin.

The whole 'Team-Up' of the bad guys and the bad ass good guys was really well performed. Gordon's dark side shown in this episode and penguin's revenge was brutally shown and that *umbrella* scene though!! Bruce, Alfred and Selena's scene was funny. That teaser at the last, excited for him. It won't be long before Nygma's caught I suppose. Overall it was very dark and thrilling episode getting to see nearly all of the characters at once! :-)

The grittiest Broadcast "Batman" ever Good mid-season cliffhanger

Like most series TV, it's very uneven, but the overall effort is superb. Before it all began, it's a fitting prequel to the Batman experience. The villains and heroes are far more fascinating than Batman or even the young Master Bruce. They always have been, even in the old DC comics. It's "fun" to watch the poor Riddler go slowly and deliciously mad after accidentally killing off everyone he loves and hates. I never saw so many decapitations, mutilations and eyes poked out in my life. Penguin is so cruel and he just loves to kill. Carol Kane was terrific as his goofy mother. Will "Fish" ever return? How could she? Selena (Catwoman in the future) is a wonderful character. We always knew that Bruce had a crush on her. She loves him too! Even the "good guys" are capable of murder in Gotham City in the mid-season finale. Detective Gordon has a murderous side and maybe Mr. Wayne wasn't such a good man after all? Harvey Dent (Two-face in the future) must go to the next level and turn evil? (Where's the acid?) Joker just had his face "rearranged". So many people come and go that Gotham must be like Oz! I think every town needs an "Arkum Asylum" for the Criminally Insane, don't you?
