Gotham: Official TV Logo and Synopsis released by FOX

Following on the heels of The CW's reveal of the full costume of Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/ The Flash in the new upcoming TV Series, Fox has revealed their logo design and official synopsis for their upcoming Batman spin-off TV Series, "Gotham".

Starring Ben McKenzie as a young James Gordon (while ironically playing Batman in the DC Universe Animated Original Movie adaptation of Batman: Year One), the series will focus on his origin story as he works up the ranks of the Gotham City Police Department, while telling parallel origin stories of the city's future supervillains... As well as an orphaned boy named Bruce Wayne who will one day grow up to be the city's greatest defender.

Here's the official synopsis, courtesy of Fox and posted in Superherohype.

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.

Gotham is scheduled to premiere sometime during the 2014-2015 TV Season.

Gotham TV Series: Ben McKenzie is your new James Gordon

Looks like things are progressing smoothly for FOX and Warner Bros. Television's attempt to showcase characters from the Batman Universe in the small screen, as both companies have finally chosen their actor to play a younger James Gordon in "Gotham"... "The O.C." and "Southland's" Ben McKenzie!

An origin TV Series set years before The Batman came into the picture, "Gotham" explores the origins of James Gordon, the villains/ supercriminals, and a young Bruce Wayne before they all made their mark and changed the city as we now know it to be. It's certainly cranking up the interest rate for the show, and McKenzie took to Twitter to express his thoughts on his casting:

All I can promise is I will do my best not to screw this up. Can't wait to get to work.
— Ben McKenzie (@ben_mckenzie) February 8, 2014 

So here's to "Gotham", and hoping it'll be just as awesome as the current DC Comics' inspired superhero TV Series making its mark right now in The CW with its second season, Arrow! For more information, visit the source post at Superherohype.

Funny fact: Bruce Wayne/ Batman in Batman: Year One was voiced by McKenzie as well, while Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad fame voiced Gordon... Talk about switcheroo!!!

No release date has been given for Gotham yet, but expect it sometime later this year!

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.
