After three (?) months I've finally finished Gotham High and I have some thoughts.

1) Why the tweak to the death of Bruce's parents?

I mean, the Wayne's deaths are iconic why mess with it?

2) Why the role changes?

Uncle Alfred? What happened to the snarky English butler?

3) BARBIE GORDAN???

I think this explains itself and no, it never said this was just her nickname.

4) it feels like they dropped Alfred's husband in for the sake of look representation. I mean, he's only on a few pages and doesn't do much.

In all, this wasn't like what the trailer led me to think. It's not bad just really, really, really different and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

I'm starting to tire of the concept I think
Series three follows the established formula, of happiness, weird things happen, everyone gets involved, Steve gets a kicking while the kids hide, Hopper and Joyce save the day.
While the series continues to be atmospheric and full of nice 80s references, I really think I am starting to tire of the show. The fact that it is supposed to be centred around the kids is strong, and yet they get involved in so little of the action that it is a let-down. Imagine if in the Goonies the gang got to One-eyed Willie's booby traps only for Chunk's uncle to appear to get them through it, while they complain about snogging in braces.
Hopefully series 4 will be more interesting and mix things up a little.
