"Gotham Falls, We Rise" - Jeremiah Valeska Season 4 episode 22

[@tula4900]

🦇 When your excitement for an episode turns to silence and sadness for the end of a show #Gotham 🃏

[@ListerDavid]

This episode felt like a pilot for an actual Batman series.

[@cacox]

13:04 I think he does know it's Bruce, which is why he's so taken back for a moment.

[@jakeconstantine693]

And he quietly says "you"

[@Comic3247]

As much as this show has had its ups and downs, as much as this season had its ups and downs, this was a great conclusion to a great story

[@Narutoanime16g]

I’m gonna miss this show but I’m happy I can rewatch it,😆 it’s been an awesome 5 years

[@Comic3247]

WebHead2099 really wish they had made a Gotham season 6 comic, like how smallville did a season 11 comic

[@expertgamer2234]

@@Comic3247 gotham is just the backstory of bruces journey If you want to watch batmans stuff watch the dark knight trilogy

[@Comic3247]

ExpertGaming mate, are you seriously under the Impression I've not watched the dark knight trilogy

[@expertgamer2234]

@@Comic3247 umm I dont know how to reply lmao

[@dakotatrue12]

@@expertgamer2234 that's not the same.

[@darkhumour741]

They probably balded him because after the chemicals there's no excuse to not have full-on green hair, but WB won't give them full Joker rights even in the finale 😔

[@darkhumour741]

@MUDDHORN REPLICASthe actor Cameron Monaghan has literally gone on record saying WB didn't allow them full rights to the Joker he even said regarding the finale - "we definitely got away with more than we should've"

[@darkhumour741]

@MUDDHORN REPLICAS so you're saying Cameron's lying? And technically it's only a *division* of WB (Warner Bros. Television) that was involved with Gotham the higher ups imposed restrictions on what the show could do with regards to the Joker....it's the simple truth do you just not wanna believe it because it makes their refusal to ever go FULL Joker more bearable? where you can rest easy knowing "it was 100% their creative choice"

[@danielgraham1082]

MUDDHORN REPLICAS what’s do you realize the irony in what you just said

[@danielgraham1082]

MUDDHORN REPLICAS wb gave them restrictions on what characters they could use and they couldn’t use joker how do you not understand this basic concept

[@danielgraham1082]

MUDDHORN REPLICAS why do you think they never called him joker and he never dressed as the joker he was never called joker in promotion either he is basically joker but legally he’s not the joker also no need to be a dick

[@blazetfkthefireking6851]

I was expecting Alfred to say "Master Bruce get your bloody ass off that roof!" At the end

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

Sadly WB wouldn’t allow Gotham to use The Name Joker or have The Green Hair

[@maxpalombella11]

Its so stupid. They actually still believe people would get confused.

[@DiamondFire]

@@maxpalombella11 no they didn't think people would get confused lol its because they want mainstream non disney properties to be allowed use the name.

[@mattops5800]

Gotham falls hopefully Robert Pattinson rises

[@gamefighterx6676]

ICantThinkOfAGood Username Actually, they didn’t have the rights to the Joker in general at all. So they got around it by not completing the look, and not actually naming him the joker, instead Jeremiah gives out names that Joker has previously called himself in comics

[@thehourman7602]

They actually couldn’t have him wear a purple suit either. They instead gave Jeremiah a half black and half dark blu suit for Season 4, a violet blue suit for season 5, and a green suit with a purple trench coat for the finale.

[@TheCursedCat1927]

I love how from "It's Enigma !" we got to "Oh, it's Ed." Character Development in this Show was on a greater level...

[@TheSmokingSkull]

Still wish we had a full fight between Joker and Batman... but this was still pretty cool! Definitely going to use that final shot of Joker and the shot of Batman in the ending in a trailer though...

[@dennisgarcia1179]

brutal that we wont get a continuation of this story

[@kylemccabe1863]

I'd love a series where it's batman as the main character in this world

[@namecannotbeblank6858]

It's implied that Bruce has been back for weeks and he is the one taking down the gangs as mentioned at the beginning.

[@malikmartin7431]

Can I just say that the way Jim Gordon looks with that mustash, the way the riddler and penquin are dressed looks like they came straight out of a comic Book but realistic. They looked amazing

[@the115master5]

We're in the Endgame now. Its been a ride gentleman. And I'll say im so happy i got to see some super entertaining people react to this show. Im also just thankful this show and your reactions allowed me to find it 😁, ill be here for the long ride guys.

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

I heard the creators of Gotham want to continue with a Catwoman spin-off

[@benedictator4763]

Where the fuck is it

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The actress playing the older Selina is Lilli Simmons who was a regular on the Cinemax show Banshee and has been featured on True Detective, Westworld & The Purge tv series.

[@drlee2]

She was excellent in The Purge show. I thought she was the best character.

[@arthurteixeira9866]

The REAL reason why he doesn’t have the green hair is because WB wouldn’t allow that or they calling him joker. Still he was great

[@tiredvicky4706]

I really enjoyed this episode and I'm totally going to miss the show. For being the first Joker-Gotham and Batman-Gotham actual contact they did an amazing job!

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

I have to admit when photos of The Joker were leaked online a few months ago they did scare the shit out of me

[@AssassinTheJ]

I discovered this channel via your Gotham reactions - and it's been a real pleasure to watch and comment. Glad you enjoyed the finale, I loved it myself:)

[@DarkBandicoot]

Some of the cast were in Wales over the weekend, and Sean said he'd be up for a Christmas special. Then someone asked about a Nygmobblepot wedding, and Robin said to throw that in there too! A special would be nice, or a Nygmobs spinoff. They said another season of Gotham could happen, but everyone would have to be on board, and that they wouldn't want different actors, which is totally understandable. It's why a spinoff would probably be more likely. Oswald and Ed are so great together!

[@mrbutcher5423]

Penguin: he said Gotham is mine.

[@Austral13]

It's definitely been a rollercoaster ride but I'm glad I stayed with it. I think when they finally embraced the wackiness and focused on the villains, it all just clicked. Sure it wasn't an exact adaption, but it was nice seeing reimagining of characters but still being able to recognize their ticks. The ending was good, a cherry on top. The rooftop scene between Batman and Catwoman was perfect and throughout the show. I think one thing I will miss greatly are the adventures of Bruce and Alfred. I can't recall much storylines centered on that time period, so this show helped in that vague era. It's been fun, keep up the good work :)

[@julsb4749]

I’ve enjoyed watching y’all react to this season this show is AMAZING and really deserved to get a full Batman season!

[@PyroPhoenixPinion]

Love your reaction! (and decided to leave a comment under this one) It's always so good to see reaction from who actually is comic fan. I've watched another reaction earlier (not gonna say whose) and that's total waste of time. You guys are so much better. Open-minded and knowledge of comic characters really make all your reaction fun to watch. (Some accurate guesses are fantastic) Though I really hope every episode will have reaction, I'm okay with the high quality. Thanks a lot for killing time together!

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Thanks so much for leaving a great comment. We all love DC and batman and gotham is a underrated show.

[@anthonytalarico7854]

In this Batman Universe Gordon created Ed and especially Penguin to b villains, Batman cleans up the mess lol. In They DId What I liked how Riddler has Penguin stand up for himself against Jim. Plus he referenced Fish Mooney even though Fish died on a good note with Penguin.

[@joelewis4711]

The three best shows to have exactly 100 episodes ......Orphan Black , Bates Motel and Gotham !

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4575]

It was the same actor who played Bruce Wayne that voiced Batman they used technology to make him sound older

[@zacharyspiker8090]

I think he knew it was Bruce because he said “You..” as soon as he saw Batman

[@camryn7023]

Ahh i want a continuation. I like batman and catwomans relationship and i can’t find many movies with them. i need DC to make like bat fam live actions.

[@AzguardMike]

And the first thing they did with this suit ... was give it to Ruby Rose who said "it will be perfect .... when it fits a woman." By stapling a red wig to it.

[@anthonytalarico7854]

Barbara looked the youngest in this ep than any other I've seen. Nygma actually had a scene with Jeremiah. (in a sense)

[@larae6129]

This series has twist and turn and up and down. The show was good..This episode was good finale of series... I like how they handle the Batman.

[@jeffkeoghan7718]

Love the musical in joke. Joan Jett's remake of "Crimson & Clover" - Jerome, red hair, J, strands of green. Crimson and clover. Smiles.

[@macmcleod1188]

"100% it was working" says a trio of bearded batman brothers. I must accept that the mustache was working. :)

[@cameronm1231]

Why do WB thought we will be confused?! Or they just jealous because Cameron is great actor for the Joker. WB thinks we're stupid to get confused wtf.

[@CourtRobGray]

to be fair, this would be accurate of what the joker would look like. If you fell into a vat of boiling acid, this would probably be what you'd look like.

[@sydIRISH]

If you fall in chemicals....you lose your hair. Probably. I think he looks great. Plus, they couldn't use The Joker's actual likeness.

[@talkaboutnowt6644]

Fun fact: They legally weren't allowed to give Monaghan's Joker green hair

[@JRF1004]

It didn’t work like a finale, it seem more like a premiere for a series we won’t get

[@aliwali6578]

Jorge Funes jr yeah that’s why it’s titled the beginning it’s supposed to be the premiere the beginning of Batman

[@JRF1004]

Ali Wali Yes but a series finale is supposed to have closure. It had none, it was just an average pilot of a show that won’t exist

[@EternalDensity]

Wow they got just about everything on your wishlist!

[@jokerdanny9255]

His hair would eventually grow back

[@TALEOFA]

Would have been great if it was a two parter ending and the villains would have meet the joker at the end

[@cryhwks]

Man I want a new show with this Canon.

[@e.l5806]

I'm going to miss your Gotham's reactions, hope they make the catwoman spin off so we can come back to the gothamverse. Great video as always

[@shepardphillips6319]

The only reason why he looks different from what he usually has on is because they didn't actually have permission to have joker on the show so they compromised and gave him different hair a different coat then the one he usually wears and another name other than joker

[@americanninja1200]

I think there were legal reasons why Jeremiah didn't have the green hair

[@elliott915]

Yeah your right. They didn't get the rights to Joker so they couldn't make an official Joker character in this universe

[@ethancooper1939]

Do you think Jim Gordon knows Bruce is batman when he says "a friend" at the last minute of the episode

[@God-hm5dt]

We need a spin off or something.

[@elliott915]

I have seen some stuff about a "spin-off" called Pennyworth which is about Alfred's backstory. Something like that

[@whaitirim1]

without the hair makes more sense logically if you fall into acid or something like that your hair would burn off.

[@markboon2024]

Season started strong but was a bit of a rushed mess in the end imo. Still pretty enjoyable though. Definitely should have been a full season.

[@JK.47]

It was planned to have more episodes but fucking shithouse company said your done wrap it up so missed half the characters and story they did the best they could in such little time

[@mxtt8899]

Processing ☹☹☹

[@darkgoddarkseid2824]

😭😭😭

[@TheThor8]

The cgi on batman looks weird

[@furkanbozdag8198]

pretty dissapointed
