'Gotham' Season 1 Episode 4 'Arkham' Review

Non Spoiler Review- This episode was one of the best of the series so far and promises more Batman mythos in the future of the show. It highlights many of the best characters in the show once again and includes many Batman Easter eggs. I think the show has been a little wishy-washy the past few episodes and I think this episode has found its way and gives an idea of where the show is headed. I'm very excited for what is coming in the future of the show!

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

Highlights of the episode

1. Penguin- The Penguin is by far the best part if the show and this episode. The fact that he engineered a plan to promote himself within Maroni's restaurant and steal Marconi's money is genius. It's becoming clear that the Penguin may be the mastermind behind the war he speaks of. I can't wait to see him in power and control of his own mob, etc.
 2. Fish Mooney's plan- I found it interesting that Fish Mooney also has a plan to rise to power and can't wait to see it happen. I liked that she realized she can use a seductive yet lethal woman to control Falcone. It seems like she's planning to take him out and wonder what will happen regarding the plan.
3. Bullock and Gordon's investigation- I enjoyed this investigation and liked to see more of them as detective partners. I enjoy the two of them together and think that they work well together. Can't wait to see them on more investigations. 
4. Penguin informs Gordon- I was so surprised that Penguin was bold enough to come to the doorstep of the man who told him to leave Gotham and never come back. It seems like he's going to manipulate both Gordon and Maroni to get what he wants. 
5. Bruce Wayne- I enjoyed seeing Bruce Wayne slowly evolve more towards becoming Batman. I liked that he is aware that the city is corrupt and needs assistance. I can't wait to see what he will try to do to help Gotham.
