Gotham: Strike Force Review

Or so it seems.

His introduction to the P.D.

His strict, monolithic stance of Gothams criminal activity might be too black-and-white.

Elsewhere, Theo moves another piece into place: his friendship with Bruce Wayne.

but he is doing a good job.

Cloud, who just happens to be starting at Bruces school.

While Bruce makes a new friend, Selina is persuaded to stay away from Bruce by a physically-abusive Alfred.

Now, I am usually an Alfred fan, but this was not cool.

Selina may be a murderer, but she is also a kid.

Not to mention a kid struggling to decide where on the hero-villain spectrum she falls.

Now, we know Ed killed Edward.

Ms. Kringle officially has the worst taste in men.

This storyline continues to work the least for me.

Theos slow burn scheming is moving at exactly the right pace.
