With production underway for the first episode of the straight to series pickup of Gotham for Fox, a number of images have surfaced from those that can see what’s going on while filming. The shots provide a bit of action and character material as we get to see Ben McKenzie as Gordon doing both as well as an interesting look at how Robin Lord Taylor will be taking on Oswald Cobbleplot here, which with cheek structure and the tweak of the nose definitely suits him. We also get a look at Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, which definitely puts him firmly in the right look and feel for the character.
Plot concept: 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.
