Bicondova, who is playing Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman to get her own

suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A skilled pickpocket and street
thief, [she] is pretty dangerous when cornered."
In
addition Gotham will also star Ben McKenzie (Gordon), Robin Lord
Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin), Sean Pertwee (Alfred
Pennyworth), Zabryna Guevara (Captain Essen), Jada Pinkett Smith
(Fish Mooney), Erin Richards (Barbara Kean), Drew Powell (Butch

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.
