In some ways, “This Ball of Mud and Meanness” was the best episode of Gotham since “Red Hood.” In others ways, it indulged in the show’s worst tendencies, which served to undermine any meaningful steps...

Gotham might not be so maddening if it would just be consistent. Nowhere is this more evident than in Arkham Asylum. Some of Arkham is genuinely creepy, for example whatever machine Hugo Strange straps Penguin into, which...
