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.
