Singer’s most recent film, Bohemian Rhapsody, may end up being a similarly seminal moment for the movie industry.

Gotham has never been known for its subtlety. So it’s no surprise that, with four episodes left in the series, Gotham just comes right out and addresses the question that’s been at the heart of the show’s run over the last four seasons: is Jim Gordon a good person?

(The following contains spoilers for the film Fighting with My Family.) I’ll admit it–I watch professional wrestling. I realize this may come as a shock to those of you who know me since I’m over the age of seven, I can form complete sentences (most of the time), and my parents aren’t related (as far…
