Gotham is an upcoming American superhero television series created by Bruno Heller, based on characters appearing in and published by DC Comics, specifically those of Detective James Gordon and Bruce Wayne, who were created by Bob Kane, and others in DC's Batman franchise.

The series will star Ben McKenzie as the young Gordon. Gotham received a series order from Fox on May 5, 2014 and is scheduled to premiere on September 22, 2014.

As originally conceived, the series would have served as a straightforward story of Gordon's early days on the Gotham City Police force. The idea evolved not only to include the Bruce Wayne character, but will also tell the origin stories of several Batman villains, including The Penguin, The Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face, The Joker, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. The first season will consist of sixteen episodes.

A new recruit in Captain Sarah Essen's Gotham City Police Department, Detective James Gordon is paired with Harvey Bullock to solve one of Gotham's most high-profile cases ever: the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. During his investigation, Gordon meets the Waynes' son, Bruce, now in the care of his butler Alfred, which further compels Gordon to catch the killer. Along the way, Gordon must confront gang boss Fish Mooney, as well as many of Gotham's future villains, such as Selina Kyle and Oswald Cobblepot. Eventually, Gordon is forced to form an unlikely friendship with Bruce, one that will help shape the boy's future in becoming the Dark Knight

Cast List

Ben McKenzie - James Gordon: an idealistic rookie detective for the Gotham City Police Department Homicide Squad, a former college football star and a war hero.

Sean Pertwee - Alfred Pennyworth, a tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London, Pennyworth has loyally served the Wayne family. Now, in the wake of their tragic deaths, he’s fiercely protective of the young Bruce Wayne... the boy who will eventually become Batman.

Robin Lord Taylor - Oswald Cobblepot, with the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Cobblepot is a minion for gangster Fish Mooney, and hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanour.

Zabryna Guevara - Sarah Essen, Captain of the Gotham City Police Department Homicide Squad and Gordon's boss, she balances the two worlds of police and politics with a Machiavellian skill that’s as much corporate litigator as cop.

Erin Richards - Barbara Kean, a sophisticated emergency doctor and Gordon's wife, Kean stands by her husband amid the corrupt world of Gotham.

Donal Logue - Harvey Bullock. Gordon's rough-around-the-edges partner and mentor.

Jada Pinkett Smith - Fish Mooney, an imposing, hot headed and notoriously sadistic crime boss and nightclub owner with street smarts and almost extra-sensory abilities.

David Mazouz - Bruce Wayne, a young boy who has been sentenced to a solitary life after the tragic murder of his wealthy parents. He is serious and soulful, and relies on the guidance and protection of his butler, Alfred Pennyworth and Det. James Gordon.

Camren Bicondova - Selina Kyle, a teenage orphan, street thief and skilled pickpocket who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable.

Cory Michael Smith - Edward Nygma, a forensic scientist working for the GCPD who speaks in a cryptic language.

Victoria Cartagena - Renee Montoya, a detective in the major crimes unit of the Gotham Police Department.

Andrew Stewart Jones - Crispus Allen, a detective in the Gotham Police Department.

Drew Powell - Recurring role of Butch Gilzean, the second-in-command to Fish Mooney.

Clare Foley - Ivy Pepper based on the character Poison Ivy.

Carol Kane - Gertrud Kapelput, the mother of Cobblepot.

Kyle Massey - Macky, a kid living on the streets of Gotham.

Interview with Cory Michael Smith, who gives us a little something on Edward Nygma ....

http://www.ksitetv.com/interviews-2/...el-smith/35329

It's interesting - at this rate we still know very little about Nygma's role so this interview gives some insight.

So two threads got merged then I take it?

The show's Comic-Con panel is today, so hopefully some more spoilers will become available over the weekend.

So according to DS Tube Talk a number of UK broadcasters are bidding for the rights to show Gotham so it will be shown on UK TV!

Yay. I think a Sky channel will nab it though.

One of the few less complimentary reviews for the pilot episode ...

Oh dear


Expect it to get dumped onto Five US, followed by a total drop, if it isn't an instant hit,

That's really bad news as Channel 5 are known for treating their US shows terrible.I think we will be lucky if you see Gotham on Channel 5 this year!

I want to say it is good that the show is being shown in the UK. But with Five's track record, many people will get fed up with the inevitable wait and get the show from other sources instead.
