Gotham S&S #1 - Witness the origins of the infamous city.


X

8:00 PM Monday on FOX



Before there was Batman, there was GOTHAM.


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” franchise, “HawthoRNe”), 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”).

While 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.

GOTHAM is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” franchise, “Nikita”). John Stephens will serve as an executive producer on the series.

This is on FOX, correct? Looks very interesting. Do we know the planned day/time? It seems to be a dark version.

Thanks for creating this thread. Looking forward to it.

Very nice tie-in to SH. Surprise it's on at 8pm and not 9pm. So maybe not too dark...

Seems like Sunday AND Monday's need new DVR programming.

I don't know they seem let shows get away with some darkness at earlier times now. Arrow is on at that time and so it Bones, so whatever rating they get I think will apply to this show too.

So glad that there is DVR!

Oh me too! It would be so hard to choice which show to watch. I imagine it has ended many fights in households. Also I remember all the time I had to take to record some shows on my VCR when I had to go out and make errands. DVR is so much better.

You're welcome!

I have so many new shows I'm excited about! I think it's making up for last fall.

I really love the concept. I loved James Gordon in the Batman films, so I thought this idea was really great. Ben McKenzie and the cast look perfect.

Super excited for this show! After this last craptastic season where I saw way too many of my new favorite shows get cancelled, I was wary to get attached to any new shows anytime soon, but I will not be missing this one. It looks so amazing. I mean the Batman universe and rogues gallery plus Benjamin McKenzie, who I fell in love with on The O.C.? Yes please. I am so there. This show better last. That preview alone was spectacular, I feel like the show is going to be really awesome. And I'm already obsessed with this show and freaking out about the possibility of it not sticking. Is that weird? Lol.
