Fox just released a new featurette for their upcoming Batman prequel show “Gotham.” It contains some new footage. I’ve also included a bunch of screenshots from said footage.
Side Note * I quote a Nikki Finke Tweet – ABC Upfront: Kimmel on ‘Gotham’: “You know that part of the story so boring every Batman movie skips right over it? Now that’s a series.”
Funny! Certainly hope it doesn’t turn out to be true. You be the judge.
The Batman prequel series “Gotham” has been picked up for a series order. The story follows young Jim Gordon’s days on the Gotham police force years before Batman arrived on the scene. In the series, Bruce Wayne is still a child who has just witnessed the murder of his parents. And a lot of bad guys are going to wish that event didn’t happen when he grows up. We get younger versions of The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman, etc… I’m not usually a fan of prequels because they just tend to spin their wheels until the more interesting part of the story comes along years later. I very much enjoyed “Smallville,” but quite frankly, I just wanted to see Clark Kent become Superman. Which he finally did ten years later for all of about two minutes. But I am going to check this out. And unless they do a time jump, Bruce Wayne will obviously never become Batman in the series (for which I doubt the feature film division will allow). But hopefully the series can stand on it’s own two legs and show us a more interesting part of Gotham City other than its Dark Knight.
