Superheroes have been a part of the television landscape almost since the medium was invented. From the days of George Reeves' Superman, to Adam West as Batman, to Hayden Panettiere on HEROES, we have always had a fascination with the idea that extraordinary people, both physically and morally, might be living amongst us.
GOTHAM promises to be a “modern gothic fairy tale” set in the DC Comic universe fans know and love as the home of Batman. But GOTHAM will not be a “Batman” show in the traditional sense. This series looks at the new police detective James Gordon years before he becomes Commissioner Gordon. And it gives viewers glimpses of the origins of the rogues gallery of super-villains who will later terrorize Gotham and prove formidable foes to Batman.
In the new Fox series GOTHAM, the early years of the virtuous police detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is coupled with the origins of the infamous super-villains Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler and many more. Before Batman, there was a troubled city and many secrets. BWW-TV visits GOTHAM for a behind-the-scenes look at the new show.
