Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world's greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon's story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains?

Thanks for your thoughts!
BCU is why AMZN bought the IP, so I'm just leaning into the business reality. My argument is that the films are the center of gravity, and it's fine to put other BCU properties 'in orbit' around them without having to have everything reference everything else like they did (brilliantly) at Marvel.
The films are holy, but deserving of a reboot. My spec - which I genuinely can't post here – dips into deep Bond lore but, introduces us to this broad world of espionage in which these other properties could orbit.
It's not too too different than Star Wars or even DC (like with Gotham), but what's so cool about this world of espionage is that there's so much to tap into that is both grounded AND cool. A whole constellation of espionage stories just under our psychic reality, perhaps moreso than comic books or scifi.
When I'm flying Emirates, the censorship on the IFE is hilarious. Watching the Gotham TV series, and they kept censoring the word "lesbian".
Also, the Wolf of Wall Street Emirates style is significantly shorter (they cut all the scenes with extensive hookers and cocaine) and when Margot Robbie walks out nude they cropped the image and zoomed in on her face only, albeit with extensive pixellation.
But hey, at least Emirates will never tell you that you've had too much to drink, unlike Singapore Airlines.
Almost completely off-topic, but this is somewhat hilarious to me to be reading a couple hours after I watched this week's episode of Gotham.
Tried an mkv from NYAA: no go, format not supported (loads to 100% but then gives the error)
Different mkv from Kickass: format not supported (without loading, apparently, though I wonder if it's cached given that it was Guardians of the Galaxy)
TV episode of Gotham: same as for previous
Something is happening because it says e.g. 'Gotham' in the top and retrieves a nice faded background of the cast but I keep getting 'format not supported'
EDIT: seems to be my browser or connection; trying a different machine on a different IP and it works very nicely and quickly indeed.
