Before there was Batman, there was Gotham.
With a reputation synonymous with Iaw and order, Commissioner James Gordon is one of the crime worId'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 Iayers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the worId's most iconic viIlains--the larger-than-life 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-ViIlains and vigilantes, reveaIing an entirely new chapter that has never been toId. From executive producer/writer Bruno HeIler (The Mentalist, Rome), this drama folIows 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 police Iegend Harvey BuIIock (Donal Logue), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profiIe case ever: the murder of IocaI bilIionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne.
At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the soIe survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicabIe kinship. Moved by the boy's profound Ioss, Gordon vows to catch the kiIIer. As he navigates the often-underhanded poIitics of Gotham's criminaI justice system, Gordon encounters imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), and many of the characters who wiIl 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 foIIows Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City poIice department, it also focuses on the unlikeIy friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unfIappable butler, Alfred (Sean Pertwee)--a friendship that wiIl Iast them aIl of their lives and will play a cruciaI role in helping the young boy eventualIy become the crusader he's destined to be. |
