Gotham Season 5 is ‘Almost a Reboot’ of the Series

Gotham fans are in for a lot of surprises, especially if the series gets picked up for season 5: executive producer Danny Cannon has promised that next season will serve as “almost a reboot” of the DC TV show.
The current season of Gotham has already put everything into place to give the show a fresh perspective. Bruce Wayne is so close to becoming Batman that fans can almost taste it. Selena Kyle is almost Catwoman, complete with her signature whip. So many iconic Batman villains are also in place, forming together to create a “Legion of Horribles” started by Jerome Valeska. The show even finally revealed who would ultimately become The Joker, Batman’s most noted nemesis, in an odd good twin plot twist that many fans didn’t see coming. However, the show’s ratings for season 4 haven’t been so encouraging and Fox has not yet announced whether the show will return for season 5.

If Gotham does get another season, though, Cannon has big plans for taking the show in a completely new direction. In an interview with Comic Book, he spoke about what the series has in store for season 5 after a “catastrophic event” that happens in the season 4 finale:
“Like I said, the catastrophic event, the cataclysmic event that happens in the last three episodes not only will change Gotham. It not only combines so many characters that you don’t think will cooperate with each other, but it changes the face of Gotham forever, so that season five, it’s almost a reboot and a different show.”
That might seem like a bold statement, given that Gotham has not yet been picked up by Fox for another season, but it should pique interest in what happens in season 4 that would inspire such a drastic change for the series. The good news is that Fox chairman Gary Newman believes Gotham deserves a season 5, in spite of its ratings drop in season 4. As far as the season 4 finale goes, there is a good likelihood that Gotham writers took inspiration from the “No Man’s Land” story in the Batman comics for the episode.
The “No Man’s Land” comic book storyline left Gotham devastated by an earthquake, with the government coming in and taking control of things, even as various villains seized different regions of the city for themselves. Gotham‘s season 4 finale is even titled “No Man’s Land”, so such a cataclysmic event would shake up the TV show forever and create a city unrecognizable from the one previously featured on the series. In that sense, the season 4 finale really would “reboot” the show’s overall plot, setting and story.

If this does get a 5th season it may as well be the final one..
they also need to move it to either the CW or DC Streaming Network and fold it into the Arrowverse somehow
Gotham is light years better than Arrow....I DID NOT SEE THAT ENDING COMING!!!!!
Gotham is light years better than Arrow....
Bruce finally got with Selina and Jeremiah shot her...lol
I hope the rumors for a reboot are true...
At this point I don't know if I would CHANGE it .
They finally got the whole Batman '66 modernized thing down pat...
yo REALLY want to go screwing with that?
They want to go like a smaller scale DC Injustice?
Or try to be even MORE connected directly with the comics?
Got back to the Court of Owls and Talons?
I don't think that is the move.
Right now the cast is PERFECT...
even the character s on the bench like Pyg Freeze and Firefly and Hugo are solid
I think its time to do even MORE training with Bruce like he does an apprenticeship with a old detective
I like,how everybody's story evolved over the years.. I definitely like how they Ed's transformation into the Riddler and Gordon's goody two-shoe cop into making decisions whether someone is a threat....They need to bring back the Court of Owls story I felt they rushed it a bit
18like how bruce n selina play off each other...(how old is she again...?...got a birthday coming up...)
We only get 13 episodes next season....
