Bruno Heller (1) (1960–)

The development of Bruce Wayne and Alfred's relationship and how you can see how Selina Kyle carefully keeps people at arms length to keep herself safe, I liked how the relationships developed over time. Theo Galavan is an interesting character and his changes are going to have repercussions. Professor Hugo Strange is quite believable in a scientist without brakes whose shadowy masters are interested in outcomes and regard ordinary people as tools. You can see how things are going to develop show more and how Batman is going to emerge from all the choices and developments. show less

The second series continues the story into the time of Octavian. Although some episodes are strong there is also evidence of a good deal of padding, particularly towards the end. A lot of sex and violence but no more so than in the first series. The sub-plot concerning Vorenus' children becomes tedious. The cast no doubt had a lot of fun making the series. It's a bit disconcerting finding the chauffeur from Downton Abbey up to no good with Octavia.
