Wait they made Gordon a dirty cop?
No, Nope, absolutely not...I didn't watch this show but it is dead to me. Gordon should never be a dirty cop or tempted in anyway. To me Gordon HAS to be the cop that can never be bought, never compromise even if it means losing the things he loves. He has to be a rock on the side of the law. That is what makes his character interesting in Batman...he is on the same side as Batman but works completely within the law. Also, it means you can let the rest of Gotham Police Department be corrupt and still have one good cop.
This show should have done a time jump of 3-4 years after the first season. It would have been a better choice for story...but not better for actors.
