In his later years, Gordon rises to the position of Commissioner, where he works alongside Bruce Wayne’s Batman to fight crime in Gotham City. In this series, though, he’s a young cop just learning how mean the streets of Gotham can be. One of his earliest cases will be the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents.

Taking a step back in time from the world of Batman seen in DC Comics, as well as various feature films and previous television series, “Gotham” offers a unique perspective on the classic heroes and villains of Gotham City. “Gotham” has been picked up to series by Fox, and co-stars Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Erin Richards, Zabryna Guevara, Robin Lord Taylor, and Sean Pertwee.
