Confession. I am a fan of the Batman mythology, the extended story, and  of writers and directors and actors who DO their homework.   As a result. I have found new nerd love in the Fox series Gotham. 1) I am convinced that Castle is now insane with jealousy of Jim Gordon, regardless of whether Inara turns out to be Mrs Gordon or Harley. 2) Whether or not he is up to the awesomeness that is the Joker, Cameron Monaghan and/or his director or writer earns my regard for the filming of this scene, or well, the entire scene...of Gordan's interrogation of Jerome. In two screen shots, watch them, Monogham subtly channels first Jack Nicolson's Joker, THEN in the next  camera shot Heath Ledger's lip smacking Joker. Well done sirs, Well done. Slow clap.

Yeah. Its winter, Again. I think that dark fantasy must often be written in winter,  The author, an indoor occupation, must often get the extra dark of a good winter season. I certainly feel it. Long nights, and darkness. Very depressing. Inspiring,
