Robin Lord Taylor Wants Kevin Smith To Direct Gotham Episode

Gotham star Robin Lord Taylor hopes that Yoga Hosers director Kevin Smith will helm an episode of the Fox drama.

The actor, who portrays Oswald Cobblepot (also known as The Penguin) in the DC Comics-based series, shared the sentiment over Twitter, telling Smith to “Bring it on” and that the cast of the show “would love to see you in #Gotham!” Smith, for his part, responded humorously but earnestly, asking Taylor to tell the program’s producers to light the “Fat Signal” so he can “waddle on over” to the director’s chair.

Smith, of course, is renowned for his love of comics and superheroes, regularly referencing the medium in his films. One of his most successful movies, the critically-acclaimed Chasing Amy, features Jason Lee as a comic book writer, and the director’s podcast Fatman on Batman explores his longstanding fascination with the Dark Knight.

CBR.com, which is the source of this story, had this to say about it:

There’s no telling what a Smith-directed episode of “Gotham” would look like, but there are few directors in Hollywood more forward about their love for comics, especially “Batman.” While Smith is a well-known director with decades of film experience under his belt, he has also written numerous comic books and graphic novels, including a “Daredevil” arc and the limited series “Batman: Cacophony,” among many others.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
