My Review of "Gotham: Season 5 Episode 10: I Am Bane"

Bane rises and puts the future of Gotham into chaos.

Bane made his official debut, and he delivered in every way. Shane West is a great Bane, and he surpassed Tom Hardy in just about every way. The fight scene between him, Alfred, and Selina was epic. I believe he killed Alfred, or he seriously wounded him.

It was neat to see Alfred and Selina bond with each other. Selina's cry after Bane slammed Alfred against the pole was heart breaking, shows that she really does care about him, despite their diferences.

Theresa Walker's identity was revealed. While I knew she was Ra's al Ghul's daughter, I had no idea that she was Nyssa. Great plot twist, Jaime Murray's performance was extrodinary.

Penguin, Riddler, Lee, and Barbara's story line was laugh out loud funny, and super intense. Barbara Kean has now given birth to Barbara Gordon. Riddler and Penguin's dialogue and facial expressions were classic. 

The General, because he has been brainwashed by Nyssa and Bane, ordered Gotham to be nuked. While I know that next week is not the series finale, it is really going to feel like it.

Overall, tonight's episode of Gotham kept it's hot streak going and delivered on the story lines connecting with each other, it's brutal action scenes, shocking plot twists, a strong buildup for the next episode, and powerful performances from Shane West, David Mazouz , Jaime Murray, Ben Mckenzie, Erin Richards, Morena Baccarin, Robin Lord Taylor, and Cory Michael Smith, to produce what I feel is the best episode of Gotham, alongside "Ace Chemicals."

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

4 out of 4 stars
