Gotham has spent more than four years paying tribute to some of the biggest Batman comics from DC's history, with books like Hush, The Killing Joke, and others getting their own moment to shine. During Thursday night's episode, titled "Penguin, Our Hero," Frank Miller's classic Dark Knight Returns was put front and center.

Much of the episode followed Selina and Bruce on their quest to the Dark Zone to track down Jeremiah Valeska. After taking the seed to fix her back in second episode, Selina was reborn with a new, dangerous attitude, and she was hell-bent on finding the man who shot her.
On the way to take out Jeremiah, Bruce and Selina were stopped by a malicious gang led by a massive man that was never named, but he was very clearly an homage to a character from Dark Knight Returns. Just one look at the guy and anyone who read Miller's iconic title could immediately recognize him as the one and only Mutant Leader.

Not only does Mutant Leader have his pitch-perfect look from the comics, but he also delivers one of the lines that made people remember his gang. When first confronted by Selina, the Mutant Leader instructs his gang members to "slice & dice." Unfortunately for him, it was Selina who did the slicing and the dicing, as she decided at the beginning of the fight that she was going to take him down. She succeeded rather quickly and managed to put the Mutant Leader on the ground, trying to get Jeremiah's location out of him by clawing his face with her razor gloves. Even when the guy gave up Jeremiah's whereabouts, Selina continued hacking away, and she likely would have killed him had Bruce not intervened.
It would be surprising if Mutant Leader showed up again at some point later in the season, but it was certainly nice to see a tribute to Miller and the work he did with Batman.
New episodes of Gotham air on Thursday nights at 8 pm ET on FOX.
Warner Bros. and DC Films' Aquaman earned another $1 million yesterday, meaning that it'll probably start earning under $1m -per-day by Tuesday. I guess that means this will be one of the last daily updates, barring various benchmarks and milestones. Speaking of which, with $294m domestic heading into the weekend, the James Wan-directed adventure is going to almost certainly pass $300m domestic on Saturday (or at like 12:04 am on Sunday). At a glance, we're probably looking at a $9m Fri-Sun/$13m Fri-Mon weekend for a new cume of around $307m by Monday night.
So it's certainly passing $311 million to A) top Man of Steel in inflation-adjusted earnings and B) be the leggiest comic book superhero movie since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($135m from a $25m launch) in 1990. At this juncture, if it can withstand M. Night Shyamalan's Glass (and the surprisingly robust business of The Upside and Dragon Ball Super: Bolly), it'll have comparatively clear sailing until The LEGO Movie 2 and What Men Want on February 8. That applies for the other Christmas releases as well (Mary Poppins Returns, Bumblebee, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, etc.), but for Aquaman, it may mean the difference between passing Iron Man ($318m in 2008) and passing Deadpool 2 ($324m, counting Once Upon A Deadpool) and Sucide Squad ($325m in 2016).
Either way, once it passes Iron Man, it'll be (sans inflation or 3-D bumps), the fifth-biggest solo superhero origin story ever behind only Deadpool ($363 million), Spider-Man ($403m), Wonder Woman ($413m) and Black Panther ($700m). The likes of Batman v Superman ($330m in 2016), Guardians of the Galaxy ($333m in 2014) and Spider-Man 3 ($336m in 2007) may be a bridge too far, but we'll see how well it holds onto theaters (and audience interest) between now and February. Worldwide is a slightly different conversation.
The film will have around $1.045 billion worldwide as of yesterday, with a likely new global cume over/under $1.075b by Monday. That'll put it in striking distance of The Dark Knight Rises' $1.084b cume (in 2012 and sans 3-D) to make it the biggest DC Comics flick of all time. And when it passes the Chris Nolan threequel, it'll be the biggest solo superhero movie save for Iron Man 3 ($1.215b in 2013) and Black Panther ($1.346b in 2018). Fun fact: once it passes the unadjusted cume of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($1.066b in 2006 sans 3-D), Amber Heard's Aquaman will have grossed more than any of Johnny Depp's copious global hits.
That's totally arbitrary trivia, but it's interesting nonetheless. And it has already earned more overseas (partially thanks to that $290 million haul in China) than any Time Warner/Warner Media flick save for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II ($960m in 2011). It has already outgrossed every superhero movie overseas save for Iron Man 3 ($805m in 2013) and the first three Avengers movies ($895m in 2012, $946m in 2012 and $1.369b in 2018). Your move, Captain Marvel...
Remembering the beloved young actor on the anniversary of his passing.
It's been 11 years since Health Ledger's death, but he's remained on the mind of fans all that time. His posthumous Oscar win for his unforgettable role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" — awarded more than a year after his death — helped solidify his status as one of our favorite actors, gone too soon. What is it about Ledger that we remember so fondly, even today? Here's what his fans have had to say about him over the years…
"There are people born into this world with light, it radiates through them as they grow; brightening the lives of everyone. Heath Ledger was one of those people... He was intense in a way that made other people want to be intense too. He didn’t believe he had much time here, so he wanted to soak it all in." — Ashley Dye
"Heath Ledger's Joker performance is so good that you forget he's Heath Ledger. 'The Dark Knight' remains forever rewatchable." — Adam Joseph
"Ledger himself disappeared completely into the role (I still can't believe that's the same guy who was Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain). He makes you want to know more about his character, but also makes you afraid of what that might entail. Every time he's on the screen, you can't take your eyes off him. His screen presence is so great, that you feel him even when he's not on screen." — Reddit user MarcusHalberstram88
Has it really been ten years today since we lost Heath Ledger!! His nuanced performance in Brokeback Mountain still haunts me. #HeathLedger pic.twitter.com/rexCLGsAL4 — Sarah Luke (@Lulugreen) January 22, 2018
When I was fresh out of middle school, I saw #TheDarkKnight and I was completely blown away by #HeathLedger's performance. His #Joker felt like he could be anywhere and do anything. I've never been as paranoid as when I was sitting alone at home after. #ThrowbackThursday — Toy Camera (@ToyCamera4) January 17, 2019
"I met Heath one night on the town in Perth. The one-degree of separation rule in Perth made him a friend of a friend. We had a brief and quiet chat. What struck me was his calm in the face of his monstrous burgeoning celebrity. With both of his feet planted firmly on the ground, he seemed to be facing the publicity with stoic resolve." — Adrian K.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to think of all the things #HeathLedger could have accomplished if he were still here. pic.twitter.com/8gZF7HYXI1 — Heather (@HeatherFish76) January 19, 2015
