We begin by discussing some of the news that has come out since the last episode.

Along with the full premiere of Gotham, the complete screening of The Flash pilot, exclusive footage from Episode 1 of Constantine and Season 3 of Arrow, it will also feature appearances from various cast and producers from the TV shows.
⦁   Alan Brennert, the creator of the character Barbara Kean, has said he will boycott the TV show Gotham over a despute over equity for the use of the character on the TV Show. We hope all involved are able to resolve the situation soon.

June 29, 2014 Dark Knight Rises Review by Gotham TV Podcast

Derek and John return for Zero Year, Episode 9 of Gotham TV Podcast, with a detailed discussion in our Dark Knight Rises review. The third and final instalment in Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy.

Dark Knight Rises Review

Starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman and Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon. The Dark Knight Rises charts the rise of a terrorist threat to Gotham and its inhabitants. Bane, backed by a darker and more secretive organisation, seeks to destroy Gotham and the Batman. In order to prevent the annihilation of Gotham, the Batman must overcome his own demons about the death of Harvey Dent/Two Face and be reborn as Gotham's protector for one final time.

News

⦁   Many of the cast have confirmed on Twitter that they are returning to work to begin recording the rest of the series for Fox. With Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock), Victoria Cartagena (Renee Montoya), Andrew Stewart-Jones (Crispus Allen) and Robin Lord Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot) all confirming they're in New York this week 20th June 2014. This is a bit earlier than expected so hopefully it means some new footage in time for San Diego Comic Con.

⦁   Victoria Catagena has confirmed that she's reading up on Gotham Central in order to prep for her role in Gotham. Following Ben McKenzie and Bruno Heller she's the third member of the team to confirm the show is taking from the highly acclaimed series we talked about in Episode 4 and Episode 5. We will be returning to cover the rest of the arc from our next show.

⦁   In an interview with Hitfix Danny Cannon (Not Bruno Heller as Derek says in the Podcast) has said that he'd love to incorporate the Origins of Mr. Freeze into Gotham. Given how they use the character in Gotham Central and the numerous origins for him over the years we're sure it would be a great fit.

⦁   Rumours appeared on the internet this week claiming to be from Fox that Gotham has been canceled. The original report came from a "Create your own headline" Site on the internet called Sunday Times Daily or STD. It seems to have gained some traction but given all the positive feedback on the the pilot from people who've seen the show it had no basis in fact.

⦁   Two slightly different Pilot trailers were released one by Canadian Broadcaster CTV who will broadcast the show this Fall. Not much new footage and the original Fox cut was better. A short teaser was released of the villains showing Selina, Oswald and Fish Mooney's parts and saying they only got this way because of the city their from.

⦁   Australian Broadcaster Nine Network were confirmed to have bought broadcast rights for Gotham. So great news for our Aussie listeners. We're still waiting on a broadcast confirmed for Europe.

⦁   *Breaking News* Former Angel, Firefly and Supernatural alum Ben Edlund has joined the team of Gotham for the first season.

⦁   *Breaking News* TV Director TJ Scott is set to direct episodes 4 and 6 of Season 1 of Gotham. Mr. Scott most recently worked on Orphan Black but his work can also be seen on Spartacus and Black Sails

Other DC Connected Universe News

⦁   Established former Deadline.com founder, Nikki Finke, released a schedule of upcoming DC movies and a projected timeline for when they could appear:

1.   May 2016 – Batman v Superman
2.   July 2016 – Shazam
3.   Xmas 2016 – Sandman

⦁ We also received excellent news that Victoria Cartagena as Renee Montoya, Cory-Michael Smith as Edward Nygma and Anthony Stewart Jones as Crispus Allen will be series regulars for Season one. If you’ve heard our Gotham Central reviews you know how delighted we are about Renee and Crispus being added to the regular cast and Edward Nygma is one of the most interesting characters in the DC universe.

⦁ In the Gotham TV series “First Look” Bruno Heller, Danny Cannon and member s of the cast provide insights in to the show and state “You won’t want to miss an episode because it might be the introduction to the Joker”. “We may show you why the Scarecrow becomes the Scarecrow”. We also discuss the Entertainment Weekly interview by James Hibberd with Gotham show runner Bruno Heller.

Show Notes
In a surprise release on May the 5th Fox TV announced that Gotham had been officially picked up for a 13 episode season. We had suspected this in the past but it's great to have it confirmed. But following on from this great news a teaser trailer was posted on the Fox YouTube channel showing our first 30 seconds of Gotham. Even more surprisingly a full 2 minute trailer was released which you can see here.
In this episode we discuss everything we can see in the trailer, all the character reveals from the Commissioner and Mayor of Gotham to Butch Gilzean, Fish Mooney, Edward Nygma and Poison Ivy.
Full spoilers and guess work abound.
We also recommended that you go check out foxgothamfans.wordpress.com and shawnlunn2002.blogspot.ie who have been discussing some great Gotham stuff over on their sites.
We'll return with our next episode on the first in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy Batman Begins in a few weeks time.
Meanwhile let us know your thoughts and you could be in with a chance to win that great signed Penguin print by Matthew J. Fletcher the details are here.
Intro music for the show is Crime Scene Part 1 by The Afghan Whigs
Thanks as always for listening.
