'Gotham' Season 1 Episode 16 'The Blind Fortune Teller' Review

Non Spoiler Review- This is one of the better episodes of 'Gotham' because it was a much more interesting episode that introduced a few major characters from the Batman universe. Overall another decent episode but I think next weeks episode looks to be very thrilling.

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. Joker?- This episode introduces a character who could possibly become the Joker and I really enjoyed his character. I thought he nailed the Mark hamil laugh perfectly and certainly emulated some actors who have preciously portrayed the Joker. I think it's very probable that 'Gotham' is misleading its viewers and Jerome will not be the Joker but who knows.
2. Flying Graysons- Another welcome addition to the episode were the Flying Graysons who are Dick Grayson's, Robin/Nightwing's, parents. I wonder if they will return in future episodes with a child now that the couple is engaged.
3. Bruce confronts the Wayne Enterprises board- One of the subplots this episode was Bruce's decision to confront the corruption in his company and demand that it stop before he takes legal action. It seems that the corrupt boardmembers will try to deal with Bruce though.
4. Zsasz visits Penguin- It was very interesting to see Zsasz approach Penguin and bring a reformed Butch. Butch seems to be hypnotized so that he will do whatever anyone commands of him. it seems Butch will help Penguin run the club. Another interesting Penguin related part of the episode was when he beat someone that criticized his mothers singing. I'm curious to see if he will get new entertainment after these events. 
5. Fish Mooney will meet "The Manager"- Mooney makes negotiations to meet her captor and it seems her powers of persuasion will help her slowly rise to power once again based off of the promo.
