Lanterns: on Gotham TV Podcast

In our exclusive Sean Pertwee Gotham interview we got to chat with Sean about life at Wayne Manor as protector and butler to the most eligible young bachelor in Gotham, Bruce Wayne. Some of the other fascinating points we got to discuss in the interview included:

• A tease of what's to come in the second half of season one of Gotham including some exciting developments for Sean's character Alfred in Episode 17.
• The process of filming episodes with David Mazouz at Wayne Manor
• Alfred's experience in the wider city of Gotham and working with the wider cast including Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Drew Powell.
• His experience as a young actor on the set of cult space horror film "Event Horizon"
• How Sean uses his bodyguard training from a previous role to inform his "kick-arse" Alfred
• His excitement to see another Alfred in Batman V Superman : Dawn of Justice
• Of course we also asked about his favourite type of tea and finally get an answer to the question plaguing everyone's mind since Episode 2 of Gotham "When exactly is tea-time?"

We also posed some of our listeners questions to him about his approach to playing the character of Alfred, Doctor Who and the influence of his father John Pertwee on his career.

It was an absolute pleasure getting another chance to catch up with our favourite ex-military butler and genuinely one of our favourite British actors Sean Pertwee.

The post Gotham Joker Watch Special – Gotham TV Podcast Episode 33 appeared first on TV Podcast Industries.

On this episode of Gotham TV Podcast we follow up our Hush Volume One review with a chat all about Batman Hush Volume Two (Volume 2 Collected; Issues #6-13). Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams this story arc was originally released as Batman 613-619. Again this volume follows the story of Tommy Elliot (Played by Cole Vallis on Gotham Episode 8) and his relationship with Bruce Wayne. In a story arc filled with twists and turns we find out the identity of the villain Hush and why all of Batman's rogues gallery have been acting differently.

We always appreciate our listeners who share our episodes and we have a few thank you's to Cole Vallis, and Gotham Originals who shared our review of Hush Volume one with their followers on Facebook. You can find the Gotham Originals on twitter @Gothamoriginals they provide great news stories and discussion about Gotham at it's US pace if you are looking for a group to join and can't get enough Gotham.

Two of our listeners, Detective Dillon Exner and Detective Daniel Butcher of Comic Book Time Machine and Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast Welcome to Level Seven contacted us about a missed Joker reference in Gotham. You can see the image that Detective Daniel captured of "Smile" written on the side of a building in Gotham.

We've moved our news section this week to the end of the episode let us know if you like the change. If you listen to us on iTunes be sure to leave us a review so that other listeners can find us.

Gotham News

• the Dollmaker mentioned in Episode 2 of #Gotham will appear on the show. Colm Feore, who played King Laufey in Thor and also appeared in Amazing Spider-man 2 is making the leap over to DC to take the role. Dollmaker, real name Dr. Francis Dulmacher, has been teased since the second episode of Gotham, in which his creepy henchmen Doug (Frank Whaley) and Patti (Lili Taylor) name him as the culprit behind the mass kidnappings of the city’s street children. We wonder if John's theory on the Dollmaker will come true.
• Comicbook.com had the news up on their site

DC Connected News

• Supergirl has been cast for the upcoming CBS show as Supergirl herself, the young Kara Zor-El. We don't know much about the show yet but the big question given that CBS are part owners in the CW channel which airs Arrow and The Flash, will Supergirl exist in the same universe as those two shows. Only time will tell. The full story is available over on IGN.com

Thanks as always for listening we'll talk to you again soon with another episode of Gotham TV Podcast.

Gotham News

⦁    Gotham has been officially renewed by Fox in the US for a second season. At the Television Critics Association (TCA) Winter event on Saturday 17th January Co-Chairman and CEO of Fox, Dana Walden, said that Fox "love the show" and they've told the team behind the hit show "keep doing what you're doing". This is great news.

⦁    Other great news revolves around RTE in Ireland who have officially confirmed that Gotham will premiere on RTÉ2 beginning Monday 26th January at 9pm. They've even released a brand new trailer. This should hopefully mean a wider audience is reached for the show in Ireland.

⦁    Robin Lord-Taylor fans have been asking one question regularly for months. What do previous actors who play the character think about his performance as the young Oswald Cobblepot on Gotham? Well the answer was given at the TCA's this weekend when Danny DeVito (there to promote "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia") was asked about his opinion about Robin Lord-Taylor. He told AccessHollywood.com "I've watched the show. I think he's a very good young Penguin" ,"He's a terrific actor,". A ringing endorsement.

⦁    It's also been announced that the future father of Dick Grayson, John Grayson will be played by Rob Gorrie. The circus will roll into Gotham in Episode 16 carrying with it the Flying Graysons. The episode is titled "The Blind Fortune Teller". As Gotham takes place during the young years of Bruce Wayne, John Grayson will be a much younger character so we won't see any appearance of Dick Grayson in the show.

DC Connected News

⦁    Former Dark Knight Rises star Tom Hardy has dropped out of his second DC movie "Suicide Squad" due to scheduling conflicts. The current movie he's filming, "The Revenant", has run over so he's unable to take on the role of Rick Flag in "Suicide Squad" which starts filming in April 2014.

Thanks for listening we'll be covering Volume 2 of Hush in our next podcast as Gotham is still on hiatus in Ireland and the UK; returning to Channel 5 for the second half of season one in March.

Show Notes

With our friends in the USA and Canada sitting down to watch Episode Eleven of Gotham, we at Gotham TV Podcast look back at the first half of the series and discuss our thoughts about the over arching elements and connected stories so far. We also replay our interviews with Robin Lord Taylor, Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Danny Cannon, Sean Pertwee and Erin Richards which we recorded at New York Comic Con in October 2014. We hope you enjoy them if you haven't heard them before.

Thanks as always for listening, while we wait for the second half of the season to air in Ireland and the UK on Channel 5 in March we'll be discussing some more connected comics to Gotham. We hope you'll join us and continue to send us feedback to [email protected].
