Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.
The fifth and final season of Gotham is underway, and it looks like we just might get to see the Caped Crusader make his full, costumed appearance before it's all said and done. Now, for a show called Gotham, you might think a glimpse of Batman in a single episode would be pretty easy order to fulfill.
