Gotham - Season 3, Episode 05: Mad City: Anything for You
Trailer
Gordon hopes to return the city to the glamorous, purer version he remembers as a child as he chases after an escapee while Bruce's doppelganger roams the streets.
All told, another great episode. The season is really starting to take shape, with the Mad Hatter set up as the Big Bad, and the plottings of Ed Nygma both shaping up into great narratives.
Villains make grand plans to cause havoc and heroes thwart those plans to save the innocent on everyone's favorite Batman prequel series Gotham. Except this time around, it was the villains who saved the day in the end in "Mad City: Anything For You."
Penguin's (Robin Lord Taylor) and Nygma's (Cory Michael Smith) bromance on Gotham has reached epic heights, which is great for the fans that love them, but the worst possible news for Butch (Darren Powell).
"Anything For You" proved that Gotham doesn't have to give up its nihilistic undertones, mad-hat plot shenanigans, or comic villainy to give us characters who care about one another and who we, therefore, care about.
