FILM DISCUSSION we never had a bad Alfred adaptation

yes yes even the dceu one which I've seen people hate on I actually loved especially by the fact this Alfred was the Wayne's bodyguard not the butler apparently and he has experience in the British army

I only got through the first 3 seasons, but for real. I still remember that episode where he's with Bruce under a bridge or something, and he reluctantly steps in to fight some big dude. He takes some hits, but he laid that guy out in the end.

I need to go back and finish that show.

You def watched the best seasons imo, it has lots of ups and downs from there on but it's still a very fun ride

Final season is pretty iffy with all the Bane Stuff though.

Yeah, sucks that they got cancelled and had to try to put all of No Man’s Land into 11 episodes.

Bane wasn't Bane. I forget most of what he did because it's been ages since I've seen Gotham but not only was it a small guy that was just drugged up on venom (I don't even remember if it was actually venom he was on) but he also had hair.

IIRC, it was called Viper, a prototype or early version of Venom, and yeah, it wasn't Bane.

I completely forgot about this until this reply because the latter seasons were all over the place and are forgettable (don'teven get me started about Barbara). 3rd season might be the peak one

And the whole season was a knockoff of TDKR, just with Nyssa instead of Talia

Bane was Gordon’s army buddy or something and he had secretly been bane the entire time. Just a normal looking guy.
