’Gotham’ 3.04 ”New Day Rising” Review: Gordon Vs Mad Hatter

#2- Penguin Wins The Election

I know I’m getting repetitive, but this is really a slight issue with the episode itself, as the pacing again, fast-tracks another storyline that could have taken its sweet time. When it comes to something like a mayoral race storyline, I expect to go on for at least a few episodes, especially if you are a show that has more than 13 episodes to tell stories in. The side-drama with Butch and Nygma was adorkable because while he had legit reasons to be suspicious of Nygma, this was Butch’s way of being jealous too. Despite Nygma’s questionable campaign moves, the Penguin actually wins and becomes the new mayor of Gotham City. I can only imagine how much fun this is going to be in the next few weeks, unless he loses his position as mayor in a flash.
