Gotham Official
Synopsis:
Everyone knows the
name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world’s greatest foes, a man
whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of
Gordon’s story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What
did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled
Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? And what
circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become
Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?
“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.
Growing up in
Gotham City’s surrounding suburbs, James Gordon (Ben McKenzie, “Southland,”
“The O.C.”) romanticized the city as a glamorous and exciting metropolis where
his late father once served as a successful district attorney. Now, two weeks
into his new job as a Gotham City detective and engaged to his beloved fiancée,
Barbara Kean (Erin Richards, Open Grave, “Breaking In”), Gordon is living
his dream – even as he hopes to restore the city back to the pure version he
remembers it was as a kid.
Brave, honest and
ready to prove himself, the newly-minted detective is partnered with the brash,
but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue, “Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,”
“Vikings,” “Copper”), as the two stumble upon the city’s highest-profile case
ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of
the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes’ hauntingly intense
12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz, “Touch”), toward whom the young detective
feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy’s profound loss, Gordon vows to
catch the killer.
As he navigates
the often-underhanded politics of Gotham’s criminal justice system, Gordon will
confront imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith, The
Matrix films, “HawthoRNe,” Collateral), and many of the characters
who will become some of fiction’s most renowned, enduring villains, including a
teenaged Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman (acting newcomer Camren Bicondova) and
Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor, “The Walking
Dead,” Another Earth).
Although the crime
drama will follow Gordon’s turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City
police department, led by Police Captain Sarah Essen (Zabryna Guevara, “Burn
Notice”), it also will focus on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young
heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler,
Alfred (Sean Pertwee, “Camelot,” “Elementary”). It is a friendship that will
last them all of their lives, playing a crucial role in helping the young boy
eventually become the crusader he’s destined to be.
