We saw the Gotham pilot last night at Comic-Con, along with a couple thousand other people. It was not as bad as we feared nor as good as we hoped. But Donal Logue flat-out killed the role of Harvey Bullock. He's so good, you'll wish Jim Gordon wasn't the main character.
It's preview night at Comic-Con, and DC showed the pilots for two of its upcoming new shows: Constantine and The Flash. And they were both good! Here are our spoiler-free first impressions.
We were always slightly excited for Tom Cruise's Groundhog Day-meets-Starship Troopers movie Edge of Tomorrow, but we had no idea it was this good! We've seen Edge of Tomorrow and it is spectacular fun. Here's our (practically spoiler-free) first impressions.

And they'll trot out their beautiful, talented stars. But which show deserves your love? We watched five brand new pilots, and here are our impressions.
