Gotham TV Series casting a 10-Year Old Bruce Wayne as regular character

It may not have Batman and will focus on his ally James Gordon, but the next DC Comics based TV Show known aptly as "Gotham" will feature Bruce Wayne... A 10-Year Old one at that.

Announced by Fox and Warner Bros. Television, a casting call has been put out for a 10-Year Old to play the orphaned heir to the Wayne fortune and future Batman. The role is rumored to be primed for a "series regular" position, so it's likely young Bruce's presence will play a pivotal role in main character James Gordon's rise in the ranks of the Gotham City Police Department. The series primarily focuses on "Gordon and the criminals that made Gotham City famous", so it's possible this will shape Wayne's determination even further to become the city's Dark Knight defender.

A shooting date for the pilot episode has also been reportedly announced for March 2014, with Bruno Heller acting as showrunner and executive producer for the show. For more information, visit the source post at ComicBook.com and TVShowAuditions.info.

No release date has been given for "Gotham" yet, but expect it to be sometime next year hopefully.
