Tonight's episode of 'Gotham' was bloody, dramatic, filled with questions and excitement and so much more. If there was ever any proof that 'Gotham' is a show that is re-telling the beginnings of many of the people from the Batman legend in a proper way, this episode is that proof.
The main crux of the episode is the feud between the Falcone and Maroni crime families over who will gain the rights to take the old Arkham Asylum and the surrounding neighborhoods, and reinvigorate them with new life. Part of the fueled feud is the death of two Gotham City councilmen, both on opposite sides of the vote, who have been killed by an independent contractor. Gordon and Bullock set out to do some good old fashioned police work, and in doing so, put themselves up against a man who is being paid to start an all out war between Gotham's two biggest crime families.
Meanwhile, Oswald Cobblepot is busy as well. Not only does he manage to rise through the ranks of the Maroni crime family this episode, and place himself within a position of some power, close to Don Maroni, he has made his petition to Jim Gordon that with the crime war coming, he will need help, the kind of help Oswald can provide.
As for Bruce, he is of course active in his own way in this episode, trying to find a link between his parents deaths and the situation that is brewing over Arkham. Already we see the beginnings of the detective within the boy, which will of course one day earn him the moniker World's Greatest Detective.
All in all, this episode, like the others before it, brought drama, character and plot development, and opened up another door within the Batman universe that is being formed and in many ways, rewritten for TV. Whatever the end result will be when the show reaches its final conclusion, I for can not wait to see what that result will be.
