Gotham Season 3: 5 Ups And 5 Downs From 'Anything For You'
4. For God's Sake, Gordon, Clean Your Beautiful Apartment Up And Stop Wearing Aftershave!
Jim Gordon no longer works for the GCPD. He's a bounty hunter, kicking ass, taking names and cashing cheques. Seemingly, the character is actually a little hard-done-by at the moment; he's taken to wearing a leather jacket and is drinking a lot of Scotch. Hey, it turned out horribly for James Dean, didn't it?
It's all completely unbelievable because Jim is always looking sharp, his hair is constantly conditioned, he seems as if he would smell absolutely awesome at all times, and has an apartment that, if it were in Manhattan (or the middle of, say, a major city like Gotham), would cost upwards of millions.
So when Bruce Wayne walks into his apartment and scours the place as if it is literally a tent made out of soiled newspaper and crusty blankets, you cannot help but feel that the show is not committing to this notion of a Jim Gordon who is now a little more unraveled. All it did was make Bruce Wayne look like a snob. Which is not a hard thing to do, mind.
