Why So Blu?

GOTHAM: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON Available on Blu-ray September 8

I have had a love/hate relationship with Gotham this past year. On the one hand it has an interesting premise and certainly tries to deliver a graphic novel experience-come to life. On the other hand, the show was plagued with tone-related issues, character problems, and more. That said, the series was entertaining enough and audiences certainly tuned in, given the promise of a second season and plenty of other related announcements. Everyone will be able to see the show for themselves this September, when the complete first season of series comes to Blu-ray, packed with special features. Find out more about this upcoming release by continuing on in this post.

BURBANK, CA (June 4, 2015) – With an average of 9.6 million viewers per week, Gotham has captured and held the attention of audiences since the premiere episode which delivered FOX’s highest-rated fall drama debut in 14 years with Adults 18–49.

Before there was Batman, there was Gotham City. Everyone knows the name of Commissioner Gordon, but what of his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the layers of corruption in Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? Gotham tells the story of the world’s most iconic DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes from the very beginning, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome), this crime drama follows GCPD Detective James Gordon’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city, while also chronicling the genesis of one of the most popular DC Comics Super Heroes of our time. Although the crime drama follows Gordon’s turbulent and singular career, it also focuses on his unlikely friendship with the young Bruce Wayne – with his mentorship a crucial element in developing the mythology of Gotham City.

“We are thrilled to release Gotham: The Complete First Season on Blu-ray and DVD for fans to explore the unique origin story of Gotham and its characters” said Rosemary Markson, WBHEG Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. “With this release, fans will be able to get acquainted with the early chapters of their favorite Super Hero prior to the premiere of season two.”
