Fox Takes Batman-Inspired Gotham to Series

By Silas Lesnick

“Gotham” is officially set for a full season, Fox and Warner Bros. Television just revealed through the show’s official Twitter account. The number of episodes ordered has not yet been confirmed, but check back for an update as soon as that information becomes available. A trailer is also on the way later today, set to premiere during the first episode of Fox’s “24: Live Another Day”!

“Gotham” is an origin story of the great DC Comics super villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,” “Rome”), “Gotham” follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time.

“Gotham” is based upon characters published by DC Comics and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. Heller wrote the pilot, which will be directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” series, “Nikita”).

Ben McKenzie, Sean Pertwee, Robin Lord Taylor, Zabryna Guevara, Erin Richards, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova are set to star with the first episode expected to debut this fall.
