I started to notice the repetitive story lines and lack of evolution of any characters in season 3. I was thankful they announced they were ending it in season 5. The problem is this season, every single episode seems like a random and hastily thrown together story to try and rush to an ending that the producers originally didnt prepare for. I find myself wondering what the end game of this series is.
Mostly what bothers me is the actor playing Bruce is simply not a good actor. When he tries to be angry he just scrunches his face and sounds whiny.
Also I'm a fan of Jim Gordans character but the trial scene was hilariously stupid.
Another frustration is there is zero consistency in the fighting abilities of characters. Bruce was trained by the league and was basically an assassin who could move in the shadows. Now suddenly he throws a wild awkward punch at ivy and she ducks it and just steps behind him and holds him in a chicken wing hold? Give me a break. I am an avid comic book reader. I'm aware characters especially villains come back. But "Joker" has come back about 10 times at this point and the series is just too heavily saturated with the same things happening over and over. I mean seriously. At the table reads dont the actors go "didnt we just do this exact same thing? Are we intentionally making characters never correct their past mistakes?" It just comes off lazy.
I hope they can give some proper resolutions to this series by the finale but. I have a feeling it will all just be rushed and at the end we will be going ".......k...."
