Other than that it just feels like an action series. I really want it to be better and more interesting. | ||

Origin story from the Comics: In Batman Chronicles #3, told by Zsasz himself, it is learned that Victor Zsasz was the head of his own international company and had amassed a large personal fortune in addition to his family's wealth. At the age of 25 his parents died in a boating accident, sending him into a deep depression. He turned to gambling, losing money in competitions around the world. One night, he ended up in a Gotham City casino known as the Iceberg Lounge, where he gambled everything he owned and ended up losing it all to the Penguin; afterwards he saw that his life was empty, driven by desire, and there was no point to his existence. While he was attempting to commit suicide by jumping from Gotham Bridge, a homeless man tried to assault him with a knife after he refused to give him money. Instinctively grabbing the knife, Zsasz saw in the man's eyes that all life is meaningless and that nothing nor anyone matters. He then proceeded to stab the man to death as a "gift" for saving his life. From then on, he dedicated himself to "liberating" others from their pointless existence (Zsasz often refers to victims as "zombies"). He usually preys on young women, but has no qualms over whom he murders. He slits his victims' throats and leaves them in lifelike poses, adding a tally mark to himself each time. He has been diagnosed as insane and is regularly incarcerated in Arkham Asylum courtesy of Batman, breaking out on occasion to carry on killing. Didn't watch the episode, but the origin story could have worked as a good episode. | ||

I finished a book, "Batman and Philosophy," earlier this year and it has a large portion dedicated to this very idea. I found it very interesting, yet a little repetitive and stretches it's point a little too much sometimes. | ||

It's cooler than you think, after watching episode 7, I had to run and tell my mates on skype about it. Holy fuck, it suddenly got x10 deeper, and much, much more awesome. Suddenly the show went from being "pretty cool", to fucking amazing lol. | ||

Penguin guy, also doing awesome, way over average. The main villain, also great. Even the cops are alright, and the butler, great to. The black chick is fine to I guess, but not as awesome as the ones I mentioned. Cool to have a show I look forward to, like Fargo, Breaking Bad, Got, True Detectives, House of Cards etc. | ||

Its really not that big of a stretch to think someone else thought the characters were similar. Its not exactly a mind blowing theory. Besides, the writing on this show has been pretty straight forward with the occasional fan-service sprinkled in. That said I like the show. Its pretty simple but the vibe is great and the feeling is spot on. | ||
