Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

6. Gotham

Gotham might get a bad rap from the Bat-faithful for its liberal use of the license, but that's also - largely - what makes it so great.

Anchored by a cast that are obviously having way too much fun in their own respective roles, Gotham's highpoint this year has come in its most recent season, where the suitably terrifying Professor Pyg has largely dominated proceedings.

Owning its unconventional 'sixties series meets Burton' vibe, Gotham has also done well to spotlight its own wasted characters. Harvey Bullock - played to perfection by Donal Logue - has shaken his two-dimensional roots and has been given plenty to do recently, exemplified best by last month's episode, "Stop Hitting Yourself".

Although the chances of Fox's series winning over the Bat's most vociferous fans are next to none, Gotham has continued to be one of the most enjoyable comic book series to watch in recent months. It has its frustrating moments (what show doesn't?), but beneath all the bluster surrounding its canonical alterations to the Bat-mythos, there lies a truly compelling product.
