Why do you think Lucius Fox told Captain Barnes where Jim was? It implies that Lucius trusts Barnes, or did I get that wrong?

Dear @millicentcordelia,

In the comics, Fox is known to be a good judge of character and although Gotham’s Lucius is young, I already sense he is heading in that direction. I think Lucius told Barnes about Jim’s whereabouts because Lucius is pragmatic. 

Fox is aware that Bruce’s life is in danger and that the Gotham Squad could benefit from backup. He knows that Barnes is the captain and invested in the situation. So, why not appeal to Barnes’ support? Also, I think it is possible Lucius was testing Barnes at the same time.

Do you watch any of the other comic book based shows (Flash, Arrow, Daredevil, etc.)? What got you started watching Gotham-was it an interest in the Batman universe, comics in general, or something else?

Hello Dear,

I like the Flash and I adore The Walking Dead. As to Gotham, I became interested in the series because of the comics. Initially, I hesitated watching it because of its differences from the comics. But, I gave the show a try and I was pleasantly surprised. I also grew fonder of the show because of its resemblance to the Tim Burton films. No offense to Nolan. 

What about you? ^_~

Has anyone picked up on any clues, in Gotham, about Jim Gordon's parents-other than the comments about Jim's dad made by Falcone and Loeb? They both spoke of his father in the past tense, so I assume the man's dead.

Unfortunately, we know very little about Jim’s backstory. His father died in a car accident as a result of a drunk driver. But, what about his mother? Siblings?
