Fall TV kicked off earlier this week with the premieres of highly anticipated shows and the returns of some of the best comedies and dramas. One show that was receiving a lot of buzz was FOX's Batman prequel, "Gotham."
The show focuses on a young Bruce Wayne and tells the origin stories of some of the most popular villains from DC Comics. The premiere on Monday night (Sept. 22) received rave reviews but was it able to grab enough viewers to beat out its comic book competitor Marvel, which has ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
According to Deadline, "Gotham's" series premiere ratings did not disappoint. The show nabbed 8 million viewers, with a 3.2 score in the coveted 18-49 demographic. "Gotham" held its own against shows like "The Big Bang Theory," "Dancing with the Stars" and "Monday Night Football."
