FOX has won the bidding for a "Gotham" TV series that centers around the origin of James Gordon's rise in the Gotham City PD. There will be no Batman in the series as it will take place before Batman however the article mentions famous Gotham villains so perhaps we'll see a few, of course they will probably be limited and second tier characters (I don't think we'll see seeing The Joker, Two Face, Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin etc. but who knows right now).
Either way this is kind of exciting news as this series has been rumored forever. Hopefully it's done well and right. I'm looking forward to it.
Here's the article:

No batman, no care. I just don't see what the point of the show would be without Batman. CSI Gotham?

Some news on this series, a young Bruce Wayne will be a character on the show. Bruce will be around 12 years old at the start of the series. Also Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman will also be on various episodes.
Production is set to begin around February.Fin D likes this. -
Ben McKenzie from Southland and The OC has been cast as James Gordon. He also did the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne in the DC cartoon movie Batman Year One.

As an aside; I don't even know why Fox keeps adding shows in the scifi/fantasy genre, only to eventually bury them on Friday nights and effectively killing them.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks it's by design; the corporation controlling, and thus stifling at will anything with utopian ideals. -

Bruce's parents were killed by a street thug, and at first that's who he fought as the Batman. Then the supervillains started popping up. -

Look like Essen won't be a love interest, sorta one of the defining events in Gordon's history is the Essen affair.

The main reason why Marvel avoided those things with Iron Man and Ant Man is because they wanted to make the movies more family friendly plus in movies you're only given a limited amount of time to do certain things. DC has no problems being "more adult" so to speak. -
Character's I want in the cast: Crispus Allen, Commissioner Loeb, Detective Flass, Carmine Falcone, Chief O'Hara, SWAT leader Branden, Leslie Thompkins, Joe Chill, Aunt Harriet

Yeah looks pretty good, although I don't know how I feel about a young Poison Ivy (along with other villains) being in the series.

I certainly don't think it will be the be-all and end-all, but I do believe it could be entertaining. Good, even.
If they handle this right; write smart, don't paint themselves into corners (pregnancies, deaths that don't serve the known arc in that universe), develop the characters believably (again, serving the known arc), then it could actually become seminal in the mythology.
I'm only grateful that it's not on the CW.
