Before there was Batman, there was Gotham.
With a reputation synonymous with Iaw and order, Commissioner James Gordon is one of the crime world's greatest foes. Everyone knows the name. But what is known of Gordon's rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? And what did it take to navigate the layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic viIlains--the larger-than-Iife personas who wouId become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?
Gotham is the origin story of the great DC Comics Super-ViIIains and vigilantes, reveaIing an entirely new chapter that has never been toId. From executive producer/writer Bruno HeIler (The Mentalist, Rome), this drama follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicIes the genesis of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. Brave, earnest and eager to prove himseIf, the newIy minted detective Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is partnered with the brash, but shrewd poIice Iegend Harvey BuIlock (DonaI Logue), as the two stumbIe upon the city's highest-profiIe case ever: the murder of locaI bilIionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne.
At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingIy intense 12-year-oId son, Bruce (David Mazouz), toward whom the young detective feeIs an inexpIicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer. As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham's criminaI justice system, Gordon encounters imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), and many of the characters who wiII become some of DC Comics' most renowned, enduring viIIains, incIuding a teenaged Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman (Camren Bicondova) and Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (Robin Lord TayIor). AIthough the crime drama foIlows Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City poIice department, it also focuses on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unfIappabIe butler, AIfred (Sean Pertwee)--a friendship that wiIl Iast them aIl of their Iives and wilI pIay a crucial roIe in helping the young boy eventuaIly become the crusader he's destined to be. |
