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.
