Gotham is that one show that you love to watch because it's based off the DC Comics and in the heartland of Crime City. Batman is growing up and the Villains are emerging from their holes. It's a show that makes you feel as though you're in the same world and that somewhere there is a Batman and Catwoman in training and we are yet to see our heroes and anti-heroes make an appearance. Jim Gordon, Batman's GCPD insider, is still young (and super attractive) and he is beginning to rule the world that is Gotham and he is learning about the antagonists that plague his beloved city.
Speaking of villains, here are the Gotham City Villains Ranked.
1. Jerome Valeska
The Joker wannabee. My all-time favorite DC villain is the Joker. When Jerome popped up I freaked out and immediately thought that he was my man, but I'm 97% sure he is not and I was informed by an older fan of the Comics that The Joker is an illusion and he is no one. I don't like that answer so I will continue to ignore it. But, Jerome is my #1.
2. Oswald Cobblepot
The Penguin. I'm not a huge fan of him in anything else except this show. His character is strong and scary in some instances. He has grown from being the manservant of a fearless leader to being a fearless leader. Because of this show, I am a Penguin fan.
3. Edward Nygma
The Riddler. The Riddler is a great character. Jim Carrey played a great Riddler and I loved him in Batman Forever. This Riddler is dark and twisted. He has issues and he's struggling to keep power over himself which is related to some of the people who watch this show.
4. Fish Mooney
The original queen of Gotham, at least when this story takes place. She's fierce and she created The Penguin. Also, Jada Pinkett Smith.
5. Barbara Kean
Jim's crazy ex-girlfriend. She's beautiful, smart and slightly (majorly) off kilter.
6. Theo Galavan
"Azrael." This guy. His character is smart and deceitful. It hurt me to watch it because it was aggravating. He is an awesome villain, though. It confuses me though because I am a total lover of the Batman: Arkham video games and Azrael wasn't a villain. Oh well.
