In a new trailer for Gotham Season 4, we finally see a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) donning an all-black protective suit to mask his identity from street thugs as he grows into becoming the Dark Knight. Unfortunately, it’s pretty horrible.
Fans of Fox’s Gotham will be happy to know that the show’s fourth season will see Bruce Wayne in a black mask and padded costume protecting Gotham City as a vigilante. It’s not quite Batman yet. In fact, it’s downright awful. Fans have become impatient with the show’s slow pace and the very long build up to Wayne discovering his destiny as Batman. I’m almost certain this biker costume is not what most people were hoping for.
The new trailer shows Alfred (Sean Pertwee) doing his best to dissuade Bruce from becoming the city’s hero. Hopefully he manages to dissuade from this awful suit instead.
Gotham Season 4 will premiere on Thursday, September 21st.

Considering he is still a very young Bruce Wayne who didn’t actually become batman until he was fully grown the masked suit shouldn’t look like a batman suit at all so the headline is very misleading…. I’m pretty sure Spiderman’s 1st suit wasn’t close to what it ended up being later.
It is fugly.
He looks like Bible Man
Its not really stupid its a made up suit , then the real deal will come , another idiot post from fortress ? Cmon
That whole show is incredibly stupid. It’s a juvenile attempt at telling an amazing and complex mythology. It could have been really awesome, it’s a shame.
Spidermans original costume didn’t look so good either
It’s just batboy, he’s probably gonna get f’d up this season
Name one super hero that had a dope first costume, expect black panther.
Yeah! Stupid like this hahahaha
This show is a joke, a disappointment for many Batman fans.
Safeeya Mahomed
It maybe too soon.
He’s not going to get it right on the 1st try. Like Clark in Smallville when he became the Red-Blue Blur and then just the Blur, then he got it right.
Hopefully he’ll figure out that he needs to make himself more of a symbol that people can get behind as a result of this ridiculous look.
It is not supposed to be the “bat” costume people, he has no Idea at this point in his life that he will be a bat, just beginning stages here!!
Still looking forward to this
It’s NOT the batsuit!!!!!! It’s the Vigilante Bruce Wayne suit. He hasn’t even THOUGHT of Batman yet! Why do people keep trying to make Gotham a “Batman” show when it’s a Gotham BEFORE Batman show?! Besides which it’s JUST a tv show (a GREAT tv show but still JUST a tv show) and Batman isn’t a REAL person so no reason for every one to get so worked up about what the proto batsuit might look like.
IT”S not a Batman show!!!!!! So no reason to be disappointed!
I don’t think he needs a rubber mask. The ski mask was fine.
Personally I liked the show in the beginning. Giving insight into Bruce’s journey from the death of his parents to becoming the BAT. I also apreciated getting a look at the villians as they developed from lackeys, citizens, mob gofers ect, to what they will be.
Again, when the show started I was fully on board and accepted the shows writers had a lot of liberties as to the back stories of the characters as they had never been fully defined.
But, I lost intrest.
But this article is just BS.
Regardless of what the suit Bruce wears, it is not going to be the Batsuit. He is still Bruce Wayne. Not Batman.
Every flagship hero has had some stupid looking suit in the beginning. But put it in context.
The heros that are having back stories were already wildly popular and we all were familliar with their iconic suits. So seeing anything other than that just isn’t satisfying.
So if you expect a back story first costume to be dope as fuck, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
His costume kinda reminds me of captain Americas costume in avengers 1 while the movie was good his costume could have been better (thankfully it did in future captain America/avengers films) Gothams batman costume is just like that where the show is good his costume could have been much much better
bring out the gimp!
to be a young crime fighter! so much hate!
It seems like most changes like this on the show are only temporary and evolve quite quickly. The costume’s only a prototype I’m assuming, so I doubt we’ll see it long. Either way, I’m a fan of the show, so I’ll be sticking around.
I stopped watching after the mid-season break last year
Is he Batman or Dildohead
isn’t he just learning to be batman??
Because he’ll totally have a multi million dollar armor at 16
yep
Which break? The one before or after the “Jerome arc”?
I’m getting a little burnt out on all of the comic book TV shows and movies to be honest. I say this as someone who has a tattoo of wolverine.
There was always going to be a trial and error thing regarding his suit. I mean he was never going to immediately go to a final style suit, it’ll have to develop with the character.
Really? Spider-Man’s first costume was a red and blue jumpsuit and a red hood. Daredevil simply wore all black at first. And we’re hating on a teenage Batman who isn’t even Batman yet, not even at Year One??? GTFO
Who cares what you think if you dont like the show just dont watch it
this looks like it should have been in the kick ass movies…..
all that money and he’s rocking a crappy gimp suit…
Kinda looks like nick cage
I’ll see how it plays out. It would make sense for Bruce to go through a trial and error period before he perfected his crimefightin techniques.
Expectations live with them and you’ll be a sad angry person…
Gotham “sinks to new lows”? Were there “old lows”? It’s been great from the start (although one would never gather that sentiment based on that headline). I’m not going to stop watching it over someone’s negative opinion on a costume.
The article is by The Riddler?
U mean a movie about kids making super hero costumes?…
Kind of like how Bruce is a child of that same age right now??.
How ironic they would make something a child is suppose to have thought up look like something a child thought up….
still a shit costume…..even spider-man had the decency to hide his face……
It’s early Batman can’t use new costume come on now
Oh stop your whining. Not everything has to be perfect.
It has to be a prototype it looks to generic
Garbage. The whole, sordid, asinine, stupid series. Just utter garbage.
Isn’t it supposed to look bad?
Old lows were totally destroying anything about it that resembled Batman. Followed quickly by introducing every single member of the dc universe a la Smallville style of hideous writing. Went downhill from “sucks big time.”
What the duck it doesn’t even have pointy ears! How can you look like a bat without pointy ears!?!
You eat pizza everyday and after awhile you don’t like pizza anymore
That’s basically where I’m at. 😂
Show is crazy and fun.
Is DCsucks month over yet? These pieces are getting more eyerolling
Kurt Mathis
I agree with assessment. I considered starting it myself, but the whole “its Batman, but at the same time it isn’t Batman” angle, just felt to tiring to keep up with.
Is just the beginning, all heroes begin wearing shity costumes even Batman
It’s not supposed to look like a bat. He hasn’t become batman yet. He’s a kid, who’s just starting out trying this crime-fighter thing. Yeah, it looks like something a kid put together. Because it IS.
I was taking it as his proto-Batman costume. Not his actual Batman costume…
Why God why?!
Mike Rothenberger I still have 47 episodes to watch on the DVR
People who watched M.A.N.T.I.S would understand the reference in the costume
It’s a progression.
Its not batman bruce is only in a handful of episodes it centers around gordon not bruce
Stasiu Sosinski
Looks like a bad Midnighter cosplay.
All these superhero shows flooding the airwaves are overkill & are ruining whatever interest we might have left…batman is my hero but this has wrecked it for me, I just couldn’t care anymore.
Im Batman
Assuming? You should know it is
Is that Kick-Ass or Batman what in tarnation?
BATMAN IS THE GREATEST DETECTIVE OF ALL TIME AND EVEN AS A KID WOULD KNOW BATS HAVE POINTY EARS!
Come on people year one he had a leather jacket .a wool stocking cap and a fake scar . so give it a chance.
Uhm…Did you all see who wrote the article….Edward Nigma.
You know what? If you don’t like Gotham (or any other show for that matter), guess what? NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO WATCH IT! SHUT UP AND LRT PEOPLE ENJOY WHATEVER THEY ENJOY!
😂 just give it up man. Just one more DC character from our childhood that they butchered
it’s the Mark 1 Batsuit, what do you expect?
Mainstream has embraced the counter-culture,
The counter-culture cannot survive being embraced.
i don’t think it’s dark enough. they should turn down the lights on set and reshoot.
How can he ever be year one batman when he already wore a batsuit at 16(or however old he is)?
We hate that they destroyed all lore. That’s why the show is terrible.
It’s not even the mainstreaming of the subject that bothers me; I’m just feeling a tad over-saturated.
Idk if you look back at every super heroes first costume they all looked like at first…
Give them a break- he’s not even Batman yet and if you actually look closer at the cowl it’s very reminiscent of the Nolan era Batman only Bruce has still to grow into it (and add ears). As for the suit- it’s not even the Batsuit yet as he hasn’t even decided who or what he is so to all the haters I say this- Gotham has always been the best of the comic to screen tv dramas in terms of its writing, scripts and character development; also-despite not strictly sticking to cannon, the cast and production crew have actually been very clever in delivering their own interpretations of story arcs and characters so as to keep even the most Gil-the Comicbook Guy-esque fans of the genre guessing while remaining true to the dark and gritty feel of its comic and graphic novel companions.
It can be whatever it wants to be. Gotham is so far removed from Batman canon that it doesn’t matter
on Clark Kent war is normal jacket and a pair of jeans in Smallville as The Blair.
They lost me during the second season. Couldn’t care less anymore.
“Sinks to a new low”? Whoever wrote this is smoking meth. You think Bruce’s first suit looked amazing? Not at all.
Daniel Liam Walsh
James M Lang
Is that Big Daddy’s mask?
PREACH ON!!!!!
Was just gonna post the same thing…..
Kurt Mathis agrred. I stopped after season 3. This was supposed to be origin stories. Instead all the characters were already themselves. Penguin, joker, all of them. In between their episodes it was just a catch a criminal a week story. Boring.
no surprise there
He looks like the Gimp from Pulp Fiction.
Interested to see where they go from here!
So is he owl man or nnot? Cause if not I’ma continue to talk more shit on this whack ass show.
F*@k this headline. I love what they do with this show. So what, he’s not “batman” right outta the gate? This will depict the evolution of young Wayne into the batman. #fuckinhaters
Low budget shows done by producers who really arent into old school cult superhero comics have flooded the market and its starting to show.
This show has been good and we should not always want or expect instant perfection or entry into the batman we commonly know. Thing should build and grow at a decent pace, not rushed.
I’ve been feeling this way since like last year. I’m pretty tired of anything Marvel and DC. I need to find new underground series. The type almost no one has heard about.
He’s not Batman yet, he hasn’t even come up with the idea of trying to look like one……also, I should get that caps lock button looked at, it appears to have stuck
