Spidey Freak Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I hope the show begins with the Thomas and Martha Wayne murders and GCPD issuing a manhunt for Joe Chill. And that's when things start going to shit for Gotham. Edited September 26, 2013 by Spidey Freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Any connect to the MoS universe? I'm more interested as to whether it'll link to the Arrow/Flash Tv shows. Mostly because I hate MoS with a burning passion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulder42 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I'd rather see a live-action version of the animated series. Which version? I actually liked Birds of Prey. I did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Young Bruce Wayne will feature on the show Earlier this week, we reported that Gotham potentially had a timeline when it was announced that Gordon's first case would be "a very famous double homicide." Now, thanks to information on TV Show Auditions, it is all but confirmed that the series will take place in the wake of the Waynes' murders. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/07/young-bruce-wayne-will-be-a-series-regular-on-gotham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 They kind of have to start at that point. It's something iconic that everyone knows about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 http://www.slashfilm.com/gotham-synopsis-logo/ Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world’s greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon’s story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker? “Gotham” is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), “Gotham” follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. Growing up in Gotham City’s surrounding suburbs, James Gordon (Ben McKenzie, “Southland,” “The O.C.”) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée, Barbara Kean (Erin Richards, Open Grave, “Breaking In”), Gordon is living his dream – even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he remembers it was as a kid. Brave, honest and ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue, “Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,” “Vikings,” “Copper”), as the two stumble upon the city’s highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes’ hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz, “Touch”), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy’s profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer. As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham’s criminal justice system, Gordon will confront imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith, The Matrix films, “HawthoRNe,” Collateral), and many of the characters who will become some of fiction’s most renowned, enduring villains, including a teenaged Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman (acting newcomer Camren Bicondova) and Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor, “The Walking Dead,” Another Earth). Although the crime drama will follow Gordon’s turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, led by Police Captain Sarah Essen (Zabryna Guevara, “Burn Notice”), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, Alfred (Sean Pertwee, “Camelot,” “Elementary”). It is a friendship that will last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he’s destined to be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
