![]() ![]() As disappointing as the method of story telling is for the Ogre thus far, the whole plot of Loeb using him as a way to get back at Gordon is really interesting, and I like the war between the Commissioner and the future Commissioner. ![]() Being the conveniently corrupt department that GCPD is, this means that the killer has been able to get off scott free with little to no press or fanfare from the police. By going after Ogre, Gordon’s loved ones are put in jeopardy because the serial killer is known to kill the families of cops who dare investigate his murders. It all does tie back together a bit as the investigation is all a ploy by Commissioner Loeb to get back at Gordon. Hearing all the terrifying things that Ogre does could have been so much more satisfying, especially when it comes to Gordon’s family being threatened, but instead Gotham chooses arbitrary scenes showing him torturing an unimportant victim. Instead, the flashbacks are nothing more than a way to show that Ogre exists so he could look cool in trailers. These flashbacks don’t serve as a way of showing another character telling a story, or Gordon realizing more information – as most flashbacks do. Flashbacks that have no relevance to the actual situation, give us too much information that we shouldn’t know about Gordon and Bullock’s investigation, and generally kill the pace of the episode.Īt random points in Gordon’s investigation, a flashback will trigger showing Ogre and his Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired lifestyle leading to the death of the latest Gotham victim. Writers have essentially given up on any interesting way of introducing new Batman villains, and Ogre is shown in nothing but flashbacks. The problem with this is how Gotham chooses to set it up. The most important thing set up in “Beasts of Prey,” is the story arc of the Ogre.
