Gotham returns for one last outing...


One of the long list of DC Comics series is coming to an end and we all saw it coming, Gotham the prequel to Batman is done and almost dusted.

No doubt it will be a more slim season (I expect less than 22 episodes in it's fifth and final season) and no return date is set yet. Maybe in will replace Empire or Star when it has it's halfway point break. But FOX has an uphill battle next TV season (2018-2019) other than Empire and Star and the best network new series this season 9-1-1, the talent is a bit lacking this coming season.

FOX farewells six shows and adds four new ones to their roster.

Gotham has been a bit up and down though this year, with no character ever dying, the Joker coming, going, having a twin brother, coming back bigger badder than ever and then the Penguin and the Riddler just going around and round in circles.

Catwoman AKA Selina Kyle at the end of the last episode also has her life in the balance. Will she see a run in Season Five?

Will Poison Ivy continue to age while the majority of the cast remain ageless?

I do have to applaud FOX for announcing it's final season, allowing viewers to know the end is in sight, the prequel is done, Batman lives on and we no longer have to deal with Batman and puberty.

Gotham will in a way be missed but overall it's starting to over stay it's welcome.
