Briefly: Gotham reception thus far has been extremely mixed (especially from bat-fans), but one thing is now for certain: love it or hate it, it’s not going anywhere.

Fox has just picked up the series for an extended full season run. That’s not 16, but 22 episodes! Are those tears of joy or sadness on your face right now?

It’s no surprise, as Gotham was the network’s highest rated Fall drama debut in over 14 years.

While I’ve found plenty to both like and dislike in the few episodes we’ve seen so far, I’m enjoying Gotham far more than I did Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it began, and we all know how awesome that show came to be. Be sure to let us know what you think of the show in the comments below.

Briefly: Following the announcement of some great-sounding SDCC events, Fox has just debuted a short new teaser for Gotham.

The teaser really plays off the prequel aspect of the series, and ends with the tagline ‘The Good, The Evil, The Beginning’. It’s a short video that reveals absolutely nothing about the series, but we’re sure excited to see more.

SDCC goers will have the opportunity to see the pilot (along with The Flash pilot and exclusive Constantine footage) on Saturday, July 26th. The rest of us (you, rather, as I’ll be at SDCC again), will have to wait until September 22nd at 8PM (right before Sleepy Hollow‘s second season premiere).

Take a look at the new teaser below, and let us know what you think!

Briefly: Fox is pushing Gotham hard at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and I’m really looking forward to check out everything that they have planned.

The first (and probably more exciting) event is a 130 foot long and 30 foot high that will run between the convention center and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. Here are the details:

GOTHAM” – ZIP LINE

Where: Between the SD Convention Center and the Hilton Bayfront Hotel

When: Thursday, July 24 – Sunday, July 27

Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Daily

EXPERIENCE

FOX will create Gotham City for fans to channel their inner superhero by ziplining (130 feet long and 30 feet high) through the GOTHAM city landscape! Following the adrenalized experience, participants will receive a shareable photo of their heroic zip line experience and will be awarded with exclusive GOTHAM prizes. Follow fox.com/comiccon2014 to find out when GOTHAM producers and cast, including stars Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue, will be making appearances at the experience.

Next up, getting around the San Diego area and Gaslamp District can get expensive (I figured that out via a pricey pedicab ride last year), but Fox and Gotham have got you covered on that front too. Here are the details on the Gotham Uber cars:

“GOTHAM” UBER POLICE CARS

Where: Downtown San Diego

When: Thursday, July 24 – Sunday, July 27

Hours: Thursday – 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Friday – 2:00 PM – 12:00 AM

Saturday – 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM

Sunday – 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

EXPERIENCE

For the fans afoot at SDCC who are UBER users, specially-designed GOTHAM police cars will hit the San Diego streets to pick up passengers throughout the convention weekend – for free – via the UBER app, by selecting GOTHAM PD on the UBER “slider.” Inside the GOTHAM-branded cars, passengers will get a sneak preview of special GOTHAM content. Those fans who are new to UBER and who sign up for the app using the code GOTHAMPD will get a free first ride up to $30, wherever UBER is available. Track the GOTHAM “patrol rides” on UBER’s San Diego Twitter (https://twitter.com/uber_sd) and Instagram (http://instagram.com/uber_sd).

I cannot wait to ride that zip line! Are you headed to SDCC? Which offsite events are you most looking forward to? Sound out below!

Briefly: Gotham got an awesome new TV spot just yesterday, and today the network announced just when we’ll be able to see the pilot.

SDCC goers will have the opportunity to see the pilot (along with The Flash pilot and exclusive Constantine footage) on Saturday, July 26th. The rest of us (you, rather, as I’ll be at SDCC again), will have to wait until September 22nd at 8PM (right before Sleepy Hollow‘s second season premiere).

Are you looking forward to the series? Any worries? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!

Briefly: Gotham just got a new TV spot, and I think that it may be the best one yet.

It’s called ‘Hero’ and clocks in at just 30 seconds, but it opens with the haunting footage of Thomas and Martha Wayne being murdered before focussing on the budding Jim Gordon / Bruce Wayne relationship.

I can’t wait for the series to premiere, and I’m really looking forward to see what Gotham brings to SDCC (and to try out that zipline event)!

Take a look at the spot below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

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.

Briefly: The cast of Fox’s Gotham has grown yet again.

The series shows off the Batman universe, its heroes, and its villains, long before the Dark Knight ever donned his first cape. As such, I always wondered whether or not we’d be seeing the parents of any of the series’ characters, and with the casting of Carol Kane as Oswald Cobblepot’s mom, Gertrud Kapelput, Fox just opened up a whole world for the anticipated show.

The character was very seminal in Gregg Hurwitz and Szymon Kudranski’s Penguin: Pain & Predjudice, so it will certainly be interesting to see how she’ll shape Oswald’s future in Gotham.

The character is described as “A proud and faded beauty with delusions of grandeur” and she’ll first appear in episode two.

What do you think of the casting choice? Are you looking forward to the series? Sound out below!

Briefly: Following the ‘villains’ teaser from a few weeks back, Fox has debuted eight cool new character posters from this Fall’s Gotham.

The images show off a variety of the shows’ heroes and villains, and offer a neat look into the design of Gotham.

Briefly: We’re still waiting on an official premiere date, but Fox has just debuted a cool new teaser for this Fall’s Gotham.

The teaser showcases all of the villains confirmed for the show’s first season, with a nice voiceover by Ryan Atwood Ben McKenzie’s James Gordon describing them pretty much verbatim to their character descriptions.

In any case, what we’ve seen so far has looked very promising, and we can’t wait to see more. Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think!

Briefly: Fox is sure going heavy with the Gotham marketing.

The show was just ordered to series last week, we’ve already had a great first trailer, and key art for the series debuted just two days ago. Today Fox debuted fourteen new images for the series, which are mostly character shots, but also feature a few stills from the pilot episode.

You can take a look at the images below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to the series. Gotham will premiere on Fox this Fall!

Briefly: We’ve been hearing casting news for months, and it’s not surprising at all, but Fox’s Gotham has finally been ordered to series.

EW broke the news this afternoon, and notes that first season will consist of “at least” 13 episodes.

The series will star Ben McKenzie as detective Jim Gordon, as well as Sara Paxton, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, Erin Richeards, Sean Pertwee, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondove, Robin Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, and plenty of others.

Briefly: The cast of Fox’s Gotham has grown yet again.

This time, Cory Michael Smith has joined the project as Edward Nygma (who, of course, goes on to become The Riddler). His official character description states that “Nygma is a brilliant young forensic scientist working for Gotham PD and a penchant for speaking in … rather cryptic language. Inquisitive, eccentric and outgoing — yet socially awkward — he wants to be liked, but he doesn’t quite know how.”

Briefly: Following yesterday’s look at Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, Fox today gave us our first shot of Ben McKenzie as James Gordon.

Briefly: Another day, another character shot from Fox’s Gotham.

Today, it’s Robin Lord Taylor’s turn, who will play Oswald Cobblepot in the upcoming series. His official character description reads that “With the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Oswald Cobblepot is a low-level psychopath (for gangster Fish Mooney) who hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanour.”

Briefly: Following the first photo of Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock from yesterday, Fox has debuted the first official still of Camren Bicondova’s Selina Kyle.

Kyle’s official character description reads that she is “a teenage orphan who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A street thief and skilled pickpocket, she’s dangerous when cornered.”

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.
