I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours and welcome to another edition of"Connect The Plots" (Cut to a scene of James trying to connect certain things together like the theatrical version of "Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers" & "Halloween: H20", All the movie adaptations of Stephen King, Superman Returns to the original Salkind Superman movies, the first three X-Men movies to the newer ones and the "Wolverine" & "Deadpool" movies before cutting to James strapped down in a straight jacket all the while a kid sings "Connect The Plots La-La-La!" before panning down to see anything that might have a minor connection spell the words "Connect The Plots" before cutting to every single movie, cartoon and TV Series and every bit of minutia featuring "Batman" as the Danny Elfman "Batman Theme" plays in the foreground and James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Batman while I consider an Anti-Hero, has been a huge Icon for DC Comics though honestly he should be No. 2 in comparison to Superman but that's me. But then again after "Endgame" DC Comics should for "Dead in the freezing Cold water Comics" because the only way they can ever gain ground and be No.1 again is if everything Marvel touches turns to bigger piles of poop than DC have been doing but that's unlikely. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Okay I went off track and I apologize for it. The point is Batman like Superman has had multiple incarnations and while a lot of them were in animated form the only true live action form was the Adam West incarnation. Other incarnations went to the animated route but if they ever try the live action route it always has the notion of how to make a Batman Series with out the Bat? They've tried it before twice. (Cut to Title cards of "Birds Of Prey" & "Gotham". Cut to clips of both shows as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Okay, Bear with me on this. The short lived series "Birds Of Prey" which aired opposite to "Smallville" and the recently ended "Gotham" are in my opinion bookends to a Batman series that will never got to see and it's not because of network execs. But maybe it can worked in either of the live action movies series that has come out but not the DCEU, I'm sure no one wants their TV Series connected to that toilet bowl without end. But I digress, How does these shows connect? Well let's start with the series "Gotham", it focuses on a Gotham City before the Batman exists and it tries to build up the whys and hows Gotham City became the ground for the need for Batman. "Birds Of Prey" focuses for the most part on a Gotham without the Dark Knight but the need for a hero still remains. While both shows have been ridiculed and dismissed, I have to ask the obvious, Where else does it connect? (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
Well believe it or not, I think it connects directly to the Tim Burton movies. (Cut to clips of "Gotham" and "Birds Of Prey" as James does a voiceover)

In the finale to "Gotham" we see the rise of Batman and for all we know everything that happened in the 1989 Batman Movie and Batman Returns happened. The Schumacher movies having been erased from continuity. The CatWoman movie we were supposed to get when it was meant to happen does happen and we get Helena Wayne and before ya can say "SHEDAISY!" We go into the short lived "Birds Of Prey" and between network meddling and the inexperience of Laeta Kalogridis well we all know how that ended. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
But if both shows were to have been given more of a chance to do things right, would they add anything to the Batman Mythos? Absolutely!
Both series have the same problem they had potential to be good but in the case of Gotham it was just trying to recapture something that Christopher Nolan did and in the case of "Birds Of Prey" the show was trying to revive something Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher did but it had been dead but all things considered these two shows should've been better had things not gone the way they did we would be talking as how great both series are. Otherwise these two aren't worth the weight of one of Batman's Guanos! (Cut to James Physically as he sits on his couch)
TLOTA:
So, Now it appears, I am behind on certain things. I have yet to do a countdown, do one in October. A piece of something from my wheelhouse, I'll try to fit it in somewhere. A Crossover...A Crossover but with who and with what can I talk about? (Static is seen. Cut to KiraKennedy in his apartment)
KiraKennedy:
Hey James! (Cut to James)
TLOTA:

What's up Hombre? (Cut to KiraKennedy)
KiraKennedy:
I have this movie, I've been wanting to review and well... (Cut to James)
TLOTA:
Well What? (Cut to KiraKennedy)
KiraKennedy:
It's a bad one! A Real bad one! (Cut to James)
TLOTA:
I've dealt with "Spice World" The movie, the Woody Woodpecker Live Action Movie, The 2017 DC Movie "Justice League", "Fishtales", the failed live action "Clerks" pilot, BOTH versions of "Halloween 6", "The 3 Tails: A Mermaid Adventure", "GIGLI", "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2", Pauly Shore's Cinematic Anal Opus "Son-In-Law", most of Shia LaBeouf's movies, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Valentine's Day, The Dark Knight Rises, Josie & The Pussycats, Jem & The Holograms, Son Of The Mask, The Interview and Seth Rogen's Green Hornet Movie. Whatever you throw my way cannot POSSIBLY be as bad as they were. (Cut to KiraKennedy)

It's a bad one, the one most Comic Book movie fans, most DC Fans believe to be a myth. So tell me James Faraci The Last Of The Americans, can your heart stand the shocking facts of "Supergirl: The Movie"! (Cut to James as he decks himself out "Hot Fuzz" style)TLOTA:
BRING IT ON!
