Gotham was a mixed bag of storytelling for both critics and audience members watching from the comfort of their couch. There was a lot of love for the risks the series took to reinvent Batman’s origin story. The audience, however, frequently wished for more comic book related content than what they got, or more time with certain characters, or even more explorations of specific villains instead of Bruce Wayne.

Set 40 years after John Carpenter’s Halloween in 1978, Halloween 2018 will break new ground in the franchise - namely by retconning every other sequel that came before it.
