Fox Plans Batman-Inspired Series, Gotham!

[Jefe Blanco]

Gotham City is coming to the small screen! Deadline is reporting that Fox has made a series commitment to "Gotham," a new live-action show that will follow the adventures of a young Detective James Gordon. The series hails from "The Mentalist" creator Bruno Heller.

First appearing in "Detective Comics" #27 (the 1939 comic that also debuted Batman), Commissioner James Gordon is the creation of Bill Finger and Bob Kane. He was previously played on the 1960's "Batman" television show by Neil Hamilton. Gary Oldman most recently portrayed the character in Christopher Nolan's big screen trilogy.

While Gordon's adventures may make use of familiar Batman villains, the Dark Knight himself is not planned to be a part of the series.

Gotham Central was one of my favorite comic book series ever.

I'll give it a watch

I like James Gordon so I approve.

i would rather they focus on a show called "Arkham" where they developed a show around the doctors and patients of Arkham Asylum. Based off the games, Arkham does have a deep backstory that they could explore fully in a TV Show similar to "American Horror Story: Asylum". Bats doesn't have to show up, just be the mysterious vigilante that they talk about every once in awhile when he catches these crazy patients or makes the news. Throw in a big villain (Joker, Penguin. etc) occasionally, focus on them for a few episodes until they escape but also have cool crazy patients that never escape. I think it could work

Gordon is a strong character, with the right writing this could work.

personally, i think the show could stand on its own with without bats. They could tease him like i'm sure they're gonna do with nick fury in agents pf shield.

Agree with both of these. Especially a Grayson series. shyt would be so tough.

I assume every episode will end with a frustrated Gordon flicking on the Bat Signal
