The first official character image to be released from Fox’s upcoming Gotham isn’t of eventual Police Commissioner James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) or the rogues’ gallery of villains that made the city famous.
Instead, the spotlight is put on Donal Logue (Sons of Anarchy) as Detective Harvey Bullock, Gordon’s rough-around-the-edges partner and mentor. As comic book fans know, Bullock plays loose with police procedure, but gets results — and he does so with old-school, hard-ass panache.
DC’s official website are promising that another character reveal is coming tomorrow, so be sure to stay tuned to HeyUGuys for more. For now, check out some set photos from Gotham by clicking here.
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.
