Unless you’ve been living in a cave (a very real possibility for some of our loyal readers) you know that Gotham made its debut last night on the so-called Fox Network. It’s so exciting to see all the elements that made Batman who he is, slowly but surely falling into place. Holy set-up, Batman!

Basically, Gotham sets the stage for the next batch of Batman movies. I get the feeling that the show was inspired at least in part by the success of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series, which likewise ties in with the Marvel film franchise. Holy synergy!

I don’t know about you, but I like my Batman the way I like my coffee… dark and gritty. On this front, Gotham delivers in spades. It’s so dark, you can hardly see what’s going on! Anybody have a flashlight?

Now usually when we shine the I.T.C.H. spotlight on Batman, we focus on the brightly lit and extra colorful 1966 TV show. But this time we’re going dark – very dark – to bring you this haunting, eerie song about Oswald Cobblepot. You may know him better by his villain name: The Penguin!

This is the Penguin when he was young, before he got so fat.
