Character growth is key

For a work that excavates before Batman, Gotham should have more growth.

One visible thread is Bruce Wayne's upbringing, from an orphan to his pre-adulthood; the

other, as it unfolds now, is James Gordon's personal struggle to find the shadow of light in a city that has nearly lost its hope.

Just how to let the characters grow and develop?

After watching the first episode, I was a little disappointed. When Selina Kyle was "destined" to be Catwoman from a young age, and Ivy grew up with plants, we certainly don't have to think about what they'll look like in the future; in other words, they've already been identified.

It's too early, especially for children, it's too early.

When we review the Batman movie version, we will find that even in a limited time, the director will still dig into the process of character growth and change, and find a reasonable explanation for the final character, instead of letting people see the final character from the beginning. shadow.

Before two faces, he is Harvey Dent;
Before catwoman, she is Selina Kyle;

among so many characters, only Jim Gordon remains himself.

We pay attention to Gotham because we want to see the growth history of more characters (especially villains) other than Batman. The process is "the more heartache the better"; if a character is destined to be like that, maybe Gordon can only save himself.

Also on the air are season three of DC's The Arrow and season one of The Flash. The Arrow also leaves some space for character growth (frequent flashbacks), but the story of each episode is only a point to the point, and The Flash has not yet started to broadcast.

If Gotham just follow this pace to "click until" to help the characters to the top, it can only be said that it is a pity for such a good material.
