Gotham premieres
tonight on Fox, and in anticipation of the show, which recently won a couple of
awards at the TCA (Television Critics Awards), showrunner Bruno Heller sat down
with Digital Spy to answer a few questions.
The question
about DC's shared universe, or lack thereof, has been beaten to death, the
networks and studio have already stated that there isn't
one, at least between tv and film, but when a showrunner says, "wait and
see"…
"We'll see
as we roll on. Precise tone is the important thing in establishing a series,
but then you have to see what other shows live in the same universe. Would it
be weird if they met up? It's fun for the audience to see that clash, but
actually doing it is scary. I hope we do at some point. That's the beautiful
thing about being inside the DC Universe, but we'll wait and see what pops and
what doesn't."
Talk then turned to the introduction
of Batman's most iconic foe, the Joker into the show.
"We're
going to wait and get the show up and running [before we meet the real Joker].
We want to get the story right and we want to be tonally right - and then we'll
start thinking about how to bring him in. We will certainly try to surprise people,
and maybe even trick people. It's one of those expectations that everyone will
be waiting for, so you can't just present the guy with a big smile and start
telling the story. Not that that would be dull, but that's one of those
opportunities to really start playing with this."
Heller then teased that although
Gordon is the main character in the show, Bruce Wayne role will be bigger than
expected.
"The core
of the show is Gordon, but Bruce Wayne will certainly play a much larger part
in the show than we had initially thought..."
