In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Phoenix is the best actor to ever play Joker and no way will he mess it up
He’s overrated enough said and he isn’t even in the top 4 of actors to play The Joker.
Please don't even think of saying Heath Ledger was a better actor and God knows who your others are .
At a stretch Jack yes but other than that
The last episode was nothing more than fan service but overall an enjoyable ending to a solid series.
Hopefully they do a Batman series, but it's unlikely.

Overall loved this show but season 5 and the finale was underwhelming
Agreed but to be fair the show had run it's course. Hope they don't do a Batman series, don't trust them to do it well.
The decision to end the show and have them haphazardly write an ending to the show on so few episodes really contributed towards this. Too many threads to tie up in such a short space of time.
Angel had a similar problem.
Just got round to watching season 5. It was horrible. I actually fast forwarded during parts. That kid playing Bruce 
. Glad it’s over, should have ended a lot better than that.
. Glad it’s over, should have ended a lot better than that.Agree with this. The ending makes you want a spinoff with Batman and Jerome (with Penguin and Riddler in the background). Even if its a season.
Jerome as Joker was fantastic. The actor played him really well I thought, seemed to nail all the different emotions he goes through.
I loved the quirkyness of the show. I personally would like to see a Batman in the Gotham style, but it's fair to say the usual Gotham show ran it's course.
I will miss it.

Just finished season 5, I liked the show. It dragged in parts but it made some really good bad guys.
I'd love to see a batman series as long as it's not more of the same. Some aspects of it were great, but towards the end it was getting repetitive.

Risky thread bump maybe apologies but I finally started watching this last night - got 4 episodes in to it and was nearly late starting work this morning.
It looks fantastic so far. It's really cool spotting the villians before they become villians in particular.
Plus I've never ever taken to the Penguin but looks like it will be different this time.

It descends into more of a comedy over time but it's still a fun watch.
Probably worth mentioning that from season two onwards it runs on season arcs, whereas, the first season is heavily on villain-of-the-week.
I love the show tbh. Riddler and Penguin are the best in the show. They get more and more better as the season go on. Gordon and Bullock are great together. They definitely add more dept to the villains. Alfred is brilliant too.
Kinda like @Hoof The Ball mentions, but I think s2 onwards is where it goes from ehh to good to great
Interesting thread bump actually. The Batman movie spin-off tv show about Gotham city police drama will air on HBO Max. It's a prequel, year one story I think, whereas the movie is year 2.

Wait what? When? How did I miss this?
and it’s going to be the show Gotham promised to be before it came out then descended in to absolute crap (IMO, I know it has its fans), a hard hitting, serious drama based around the GCPD. think that’s why they chose Jeffrey Wright as Gordon, as he’s someone that has the gravitas to carry a tv series and has history of doing it before. It’ll be interesting whether they introduce characters like Bullock, Montoya etc or they go old school comic year one characters like Flass, Essen, Loeb and maybe even Vicky Vale!
This was confirmed at the DC Fandome. Matt Reeves will oversee it.
I repeat, how did I miss this?
But thats awesome to know. Just been reading up on this and sounds awesome.
