Gotham is an American crime television series developed by Bruno Heller, based on characters published by DC Comics and appearing in theBatman franchise, primarily those of James Gordon and Bruce Wayne. The series stars Ben McKenzie as the young Gordon, while Heller executive produces along with Danny Cannon, who also directed the pilot.
As originally conceived, the series would have served as a straightforward story of Gordon's early days on the Gotham City Police Department. The idea evolved not only to include the Wayne character, but also to tell the origin stories of several Batman villains, including the Penguin,the Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange and the Joker.
Gotham premiered on Fox on September 22, 2014, and is currently in its second season, which began on September 21, 2015. In March 2016, the series was renewed for a third season.
Season 1
A new recruit in the Gotham City Police Department named James Gordon is paired with veteran detective Harvey Bullock to solve one of Gotham City's highest-profile cases: the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne. During his investigation, Gordon meets the Waynes' son Bruce who is now in the care of his butler Alfred Pennyworth. Meeting the younger Wayne further compels Gordon to catch the mysterious killer. Along the way, Gordon becomes involved with Gotham's Mafia families and associates including gangster Fish Mooney, Don Carmine Falcone, and Don Salvatore Maroni. Eventually, Gordon is forced to form an unlikely friendship with Bruce, one that will help shape the boy's future in becoming Batman.[5]
In the second season, Gordon deals with criminal activities secretly orchestrated by siblings Theo and Tabitha Galavan as part of a plot to run Gotham City and get revenge on the Wayne Family by targeting Bruce Wayne. In the early days of Gotham City, Celestine Wayne was promised to a scion of the Elliott family, but was in love with Caleb Dumas. Discovered, she lied and accused Caleb of forcing himself on her. Celestine's brother Jonathan severed Caleb's hand and the Waynes ensured the Dumas family's ostracism and financial ruin. Many members of the Dumas family fled to Europe to seek haven within a religious sect formed by their family's patron saint known as the Order of Saint Dumas while those who remained in Gotham changed their surname to Galavan. Theo concocted a convoluted revenge plot he believes will redeem his family's name.
