'Gotham' FOX Series Release Date 2014 Announced, Cast Stars Ben McKenzie & Jada Pinkett Smith Share on Batman Prequel (Video)
The new Batman prequel series "Gotham" had cast stars Ben McKenzie, Jada Pinkett Smith and Donal Logue present for their panel at the 2014 Television Critics Association on Sunday in Beverly Hills, California.
"The structure that exists around [Gordon] is so daunting and challenging that no single man can overcome it," shared McKenzie.
"I think oftentimes what drives a woman in all our stories is very different than what we're used to seeing," said Jada about her character Fish Mooney. "It's unlike anything I've done before."
FOX has announced that "Gotham" Season 1 will premiere on Monday night, September 22nd.
Ben McKenzie ("Southland," "O.C.") stars in "Gotham" as the commissioner-to-be James Gordon in the drama that includes many of the big Batman characters including a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) and Catwoman (Camren Bicondova) and more. Dona Logue co-stars as Detective Harvey Bullock and Jada Pinkett Smith plays villain Fish Mooney as the series looks to tell a story that has not been told yet.
Official synopsis: A new recruit in Captain Sarah Essen's Gotham City Police Department, Detective James Gordon is paired with Harvey Bullock to solve one of Gotham's most high-profile cases ever: the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. During his investigation, Gordon meets the Waynes' son, Bruce, now in the care of his butler Alfred, which further compels Gordon to catch the killer. Along the way, Gordon must confront gang boss Fish Mooney, as well as many of Gotham's future villains, such as Selina Kyle and Oswald Cobblepot. Eventually, Gordon is forced to form an unlikely friendship with Bruce, one that will help shape the boy's future in becoming the Dark Knight.
The pilot of "Gotham" was put out by Warner Bros. Television, with "The Mentalist" Bruno Heller writing the pilot, and Emmy nominee Danny Cannon ("CSI", "Nikita") is director and executive produced. John Stephens will also serve as an exec producer on the series.
