This is awesome news everybody!!! I am so excited and have been waiting to share this news all day but I thought I would hold it off. Orphan and Lady Shiva along with others will be joining 'Gotham' in Season 5 and I noticed they have said other heroes helping Bruce too which means we could also see the Spoiler, Bluebird or Red Robin!!! If they were following the ages of the characters I would say Batwoman should appear first since Kate is Bruce's cousin and around the same age but we know she is going to be in the 'Arrowverse' now and Barbara and Dick are already set to be in 'Batgirl', 'Birds of Prey', 'Nightwing' and 'Titans' so they might as well bring on the rest of the Bat Family since they are changing ages of characters and adding their own spin. This could be the best season of 'Gotham' ever!!
The block on the Bat Family characters was stupid ‘cause we don’t need Batman to have all the other characters and a lot of Barbara and Dick’s past is tied to Batman which was one of the reasons I read ‘Smallville’ passed on Nightwing and used the Green Arrow when they found out they could not use Batman but characters like the Spoiler, Orphan and Bluebird could be done in TV shows without any mention of Batman same with Azrael and The Signal. We will have to wait and see what they do but with Orphan and other Bat heroes joining ‘Gotham’ in the final season but I say bring them on and I am seeing a lot of sites that are saying Bat Family shows are being talked about by networks so the block is off. I vote Bat Family TV show based on 'Detective Comics Rebirth' and ‘Batman: Eternal’ and ‘Batman & Robin: Eternal’ without Batman and Batwoman with the Spoiler, Orphan, Red Robin, Bluebird, Red Hood, Azrael, Batwing, the Signal, Robin (Damian Wayne) and Gotham Girl

I forgot to mention Lady Shiva appearing on 'Gotham' explains why she hasn't been in 'Arrow.' It is great we are finally going to see her in live action 'cause she is one of the best female villains in comic books in my opinion and for people who are unaware of the character she was the most deadly member of the League of Assassins before she turned on Ra' and Batman, Batgirl, Black Canary and Green Arrow have all struggled to beat her when they have gone up against her in fights. Lady Shiva is also the Mother of Orphan (Cassandra Cain) and she goes back and forth from being a villain sometimes and was a member of the Birds of Prey at one point.

Haha. I knew you would be excited sweetie. You love the Bat superheroes. They can't go wrong when it is on Gotham. This show gets better all the time. If they need a ginger ninja in Gotham I'm up for the call.

If they need a ginger ninja in Gotham I'm up for the call. It is looking likely that the Bat Family or some earlier version of it will be formed before Bruce becomes Batman in 'Gotham' now and I think that is a great idea 'cause it allows longtime fans to finally see some of the characters we have been waiting ages to see. 'Gotham' has made a lot of changes to the Bat mythos and some of them I haven't been a huge fan of as you know but I think they have also done a lot of great things with this show and look forward to seeing what they do next. It also looks like what I have been saying for years with thetime jump is going to happen and I think it needs to happen 'cause the actors who play Bruce and Selina are way too young to play Batman and Catwoman.

You know changing the actors can kill a tv show but but what the hay. The little dude playing Bruce is too small to be Batman and they can't expect us to believe he is Batman. I could flatten him with my little finger.

I think we saw a glimpse of Man-Bat in the season finale. Thanks for sharing that. We are still a while behind with the show here in Australia but I don't mind some spoilers and am looking forward to seeing the characters. Do you know if he is going to be Dr Langstrom in 'Gotham' and if they will show how he became Man Bat? That would be awesome to see and I liked the creepy video they had of him and his Wife in 'Arkham Knight.'

Not really an issue for a show that's already been announced as ending with the next season, but then again they people sterilise the area when giving someone a lethal injection, always worrying about that last minute infection I guess, what will be hilarious if hey replace the kid and the show becomes a massive hit next season with the new Bruce becoming a break out star, but it's been cancelled already and every other actors already lined up other work so the show is unable to uncancel itself.
That would be hilarious.

They were just showing scenes around Gotham and there was a glimpse of the creature itself.

I think we will see a lot more of him in the following season and they will probably show his backstory and how he become Man Bat but it might be slightly different than the version fans are most familiar with since 'Gotham' has changed a few things. I am hoping we get to see Killer Croc and Bane before the show ends and I will be kinda disappointed if we don't see some version of them 'cause they are two of Batman's most popular villains.

That would be great to see Dazz. It would be awesome if 'Gotham' goes out with a bang in its final season and there have been some cancelled shows that have done that and made the networks look stupid for cancelling them. 'Angel: After the Fall' could have been the greatest season of 'Angel' ever made and the head of the WB Network was an idiot cancelling it and I was glad he lost his job not long after but it was too late to bring 'Angel' back later when the CW Network wanted to 'cause David had moved on to 'Bones' and couldn't do both. I would have loved to have seen an 'Angel' movie based on 'After the Fall' but I sadly don't see it happening now 'cause it has been too many years and James Marsters has said he is too old to play Spike now.

I don't get why they never transitioned Buffy & Angel into classic animation or even the SW cg animation, surely they would get good numbers and the cast could still perform the roles as V/O artist, plus animation makes going big with monsters and stuff so much easier, I wish they would try.
Didn't they cancel Angel to spite Joss because he just assumed they would get a S6 and the guy in charge got pissy about it? that's what I always heard.

Didn't they cancel Angel to spite Joss because he just assumed they would get a S6 and the guy in charge got pissy about it? that's what I always heard. I am not sure why either but I remember reading there were plans to adapt the Season 8 comic book into an animated TV show or movie around a decade ago and there were some sites saying Sarah Michelle Gellar was open to doing it but much like the 'Faith' and 'Spike' spinoff TV shows nothing happened and that was often a problem with a lot of the talked about 'Buffy' spinoffs and we had so many magazines and sites saying there were all these plans lined up for the characters and we waited and waited and nothing come of them. There was, however, a motion comic released of Season 8 that you can see on the link below and I had never heard of a motion comic when I got it and thought it meant it was an animated adaption of the comic book and ended up being kinda disappointed. Sarah Michelle Gellar has sadly said she won't play Buffy again in live action 'cause she thinks she is too old for the role now and doesn't want to have to get in shape for it and that seems to be the same story with David Boreanaz except David said in a few interviews he was open to appearing in a movie of 'Angel' but that was a while ago now. They might be interested in voicing the characters in an Animated TV show or movie though or a video game like they made for 'Ghostbusters (2009)' with all the cast coming back. I still have the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds' video game and played it again last year and I don't know if you have played that Dazz but I think it is possible to make another one that is a continuation to 'Buffy' or 'Angel.' I was surprised we never got an 'Angel' game 'cause there were at least three 'Buffy' video games I had and one of them was on Gameboy Colour and they had 'Alias', 'Dark Angel', '24', 'Charmed', 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Lost' but they don't make as many video games for movies or TV shows as they used to.
The thing about 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel' is both shows still have big fanbases unlike some other really popular shows that were on TV around the same time and whether it is an Animated TV show, Animated movie or a video game I think a lot of people would buy it so they should give it a try but maybe they don't want to do anything without Joss Whedon. As for 'Angel' being cancelled I read it was one specific person (Jordan Levin) who cancelled 'Angel' for for the reasons you mentioned above and he didn't like Joss Whedon. I am not sure what his problem was with Joss but I have heard fans say they didn't get along with each other and there was another incident between them before that. 'Angel's' ratings were going up at the time it was cancelled and it was one of the highest rated shows on the network and went out with a bang and since then I have heard the Warner Bros executives and a number of people that worked at the network believe cancelling 'Angel' was a bad idea.
Some say Joss was too overconfident or cocky asking for a renewal early but I can see where he was coming from with that and he wanted to start writing the next season and make sure they had the next season locked before he did. It would have been interesting to have seen 'After the Fall' as a season of 'Angel' but I think that would have been more expensive than previous seasons. www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Two-Disc-Blu-ray/dp/B003WJRW9I

I think maybe some of them felt like they didn't want to be pigeon holed into just being these characters forever, and hoped they could go on to be more than that, some have, some haven't but regardless they are still seen as these characters, DB for instance spent 12 years playing Seely Booth but he will always be Angel to me, SMG has done a lot of stuff but she will always be Buffy and AH has never stopped being Willow to me even when she was doing HIMYM.
At this point though an animated show or series of films would be great we could keep the actors who made their characters so great and no one needs to worry about having gotten older, plus they can just adapt and enhance the comics so like Buffy in animated form could have a 5 year run already set up, Angel would have a similar thing and we could get 1 off series like the Spike run and shit.
Plus I would think they would love to do this because they seem like a lot of them got along and liked one another so it would be a chance to work with each other again, still I wish we had gotten a Faith spin off, she was such a fun character.

Yeah. I think you are right Dazz but a number of actors and actresses like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melissa Joan Hart and Tom Welling are often typecast when they play really popular roles in movies and TV shows and the same thing used to happen to a lot of actors who played superheroes in movies which is why actors like Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Dame, Steven Segal and Sylvester Stallone were all said to have turned down major superhero roles in the 90s like Batman. The weird thing about actresses like Sarah Michelle Gellar and Melissa Joan Hart is they were actually getting a number of roles in movies when 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' were on air and Sarah Michelle Gellar was in 'Cruel Intentions', 'Scream 2', 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', 'Scooby-Doo' and 'Simply Irresistible' when she was in 'Buffy' but the only big role she had after 'Buffy' was 'The Grudge' and I sometimes think she made the wrong decision quitting 'Buffy' to focus on her movie career 'cause if 'Supernatural' can pull off 14 Seasons like it is now 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' could have gone a lot longer too.
Out of the entire 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' cast the only ones I saw in a lot of roles after the show ended apart from David and Allyson were James Marsters, Seth Green and Eliza Dushku and Eliza is still acting now and is only 37 and I really think a 'Faith' spinoff TV show could still work now and it is not too late to do one. Eliza has said in interviews she would love to play Faith again and I like the idea of an adult slayer having to become a slayer again after Buffy and the others slayers disappear or are murdered. They could have some of the other 'Buffy' and 'Angel' characters make guest appearances and have her working with a human Spike. I think an animated show is more possible now with Joss returning to the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' comic books and his return might make him want to do one.

What is going on here? Why is everybody talking about Buffy and Angel? Debbie, did you cause this or was it Dazz? I don't know what you lot think it is but this is a thread about Gotham and we need to lay some ground rules down. I was a moderator before and don't think I can't be one again and delete you when you act out of line.

See, he is even being naughty above now making rude gestures to you with his fingers. He can't help but misbehave.

You better believe it sister...in all fairness I wasn't the one who posted a video clip of one of those shows, I'm an impressionable soul, plus I have no sense of self control I see Angel I think Buffy, I think Buffy I talk Buffy, I have other reactions also but one does not talk about such things in polite conversation...
