Gotham: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-ray Review

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.


**SYNOPSIS**


The latest season of Gotham, the hit FOX drama, shows the first signs of the emergence of Gotham City’s iconic Super Hero along with other DC characters that fans have come to know today. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) is set to release Gotham: The Complete Fourth Season on August 21, 2018 featuring every episode that drew an average of 4.4 million Total Viewers weekly along with brand-new extras exploring the DC characters that fans have come to know, love and love to loathe. The set will be available on Blu-ray (including Digital Copy) and DVD for $44.98 / $49.99 SRP.

Horror fills the streets as season four of Gotham witnesses the emergence of the criminal landscape for which Gotham City is best known while Bruce Wayne begins the path to vigilantism, showing signs of the caped crusader to come. Gotham City Police Department Captain Jim Gordon and Detective Harvey Bullock remain at the forefront of the fight against the most depraved and unhinged villains from Penguin to The Riddler and numerous others in between. Detective Gordon also finds himself fighting personal demons like never before.

Gotham: The Complete Fourth Season features an all-star cast lead by Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Southland), Donal Logue (Grounded for Life, Vikings), David Mazouz (Touch), Morena Baccarin (Homeland, V), Sean Pertwee (Elementary), Robin Lord Taylor (The Walking Dead), Erin Richards (The Quiet Ones), Camren Bicondova (Gotham Stories), Cory Michael Smith (Carol), Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield), Chris Chalk (Rent), and Drew Powell (The Mentalist).

Television and returns for a fifth and final season.








**SERIES REVIEW**


With the announcement that the show's upcoming fifth season may be it's last it was sad news as the fourth season was it's most satisfying yet. To see more elements added to the young Bruce Wayne getting closer to being Batman is masterfully done. The show has the most fun and unique villains on tv and the final episode of this season leaves me intrigued with where they may go in the final chapter. 9/10


**VIDEO QUALITY**


Gotham: The Complete Fourth Season arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in the aspect ratio of 1.78:1 - The latest season continues the cinematic and interesting look of the series. The show has a dark tone but is full of eye popping flashes of color that beautifully contrast against the cooler and darker palette. Black levels and shadows are full of inky depth. The overall image was crisp and has wonderful fine detail in textures, weapons, and close ups of the various villains and heroes. No signs of artifacts or edge enhancement. 9/10


**AUDIO QUALITY**


Audio is provided by a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. - Dialogue reproduction was crisp and clear throughout the seasons 22 episode run. LFE performance gets a nice workout when guns are fired or explosions go off. The thrilling score never overshadows rest of the mix. Surround channel activity really comes alive during action scenes but is no slouch in quieter moments with great use of subtle surround channel effects.9/10
