omg im here asking about the 2019 show pennyworth i never watched it but i did watch Gotham and i loved that? what was your favorite thing about pennyworth?

i am so excited to hear you say this.

it's "allegedly" a gotham prequel, but unless lucius fox is immortal and some very wild secrets are being kept it's not really.

it''s like gotham as a spy drama. i saw someone refer to it as "if james bond had a kid with austin powers, also alfred keeps fucking heads of state" which is wholly accurate.

my favorite thing is how much of a fucking lunatic everyone in the show is, and how much you can tell the writers love batman. genuinely you can just watch a few scenes of martha, thomas, and alfred interacting and can almost visualize bruce through them. it's so fascinating.

also the fact that bruce wayne just has a sister that nobody ever mentions is a lovely fun addition and makes it being connected to gotham make even less sense but it makes it so fun. i've never had as much fun watching a batman show and I truly feel like it captures the insane fun kooky stuff the comics have in a way most batman adaptations refuse to.

all the relationships are well written and thought out, and the writers are amazing at using subtlety and hinting at things. it's such a shame that it was canceled, but honestly, they would've gone where I wanted them to so I can now create an ending.

(they were cowards who would've never added john constantine in despite him being 16 and also in london in s3)

once I read up more on certain comic characters to get them accurate i'm going to be writing a fic that you don't have to watch pennyworth for but is still based on it.

anyway you should watch it. :)
