Show Notes for Welcome to Gotham - Gotham TV Podcast Episode 1

The announcement by Fox Networks of an up-and-coming TV series based around the City of Gotham in the DC Batman Universe was received with excitement and interest by fans of the DC Universe and all things Batman including us.

Based around characters established by Bob Kane and developed by Bill Finger the TV show is set to follow the origin of the young Jim Gordon in the Gotham City P.D. and explore the origin stories of the villains that have made Gotham infamous.

With the show set to be produced by Warner Bros Television and currently in pre-production with Director/Executive Producer - Danny Cannon - and Writer - Bruno Heller - established to guide and develop the Gotham series in its first season.

In this Gotham TV Podcast episode Derek and John discuss our early impressions and thoughts on how this show may develop and pose some questions about the show, such as: How will Gotham function without Batman?

Some major cast announcements have already been made and include Ben McKenzie as the young Jim Gordon, Jada Pinkett Smith as a new crime boss Fish Mooney, Sean Pertwee as Wayne family butler Alfred Pennyworth and Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot (aka the Penguin). These casting choices will be further explored in episode two of the podcast Gotham Cast and Characters – Gotham TV Podcast E02.
