Batman Hush Volume 1 comic review

As Gotham is still on a mid-season break in the UK and Ireland, Gotham TV Podcast chat about the graphic novel Batman Hush (Volume 1 Collected; Issues #1-5). Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams this story arc was originally released as Batman 608-612. Notable about this story is the introduction of the character Tommy Elliot (Played by Cole Vallis in Episode 8 of Gotham "The Mask") and which features flashbacks to his childhood friendship with the Young Bruce Wayne. We talk about the main story and our impressions of Batman Hush Volume One.

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.
