Fox's new series Gotham will feature 10yr old Bruce Wayne as a regular
series starts at the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/07/young-bruce-wayne-will-be-a-series-regular-on-gothamLooks like Gotham will show us a part of Bruce Wayne's life we've only glimpsed.
Earlier this week, we reported that Gotham potentially had a timeline when it was announced that Gordon's first case would be "a very famous double homicide." Now, thanks to information on TV Show Auditions, it is all but confirmed that the series will take place in the wake of the Waynes' murders.
The site states that FOX is currently casting series regulars in Los Angeles, one of whom will be 10-year old Bruce Wayne. It's probably safe to assume, based on this news, that Gotham is firmly set in that time period rather than portraying the investigation in flashbacks. Another bit of evidence is TV Show Auditions' story synopsis, which simply states, "Set in the early days of James Gordon's police tenure, when he meets a boy named Bruce Wayne..."
Gotham's pilot begins shooting in March, 2014.
Am i the only one to think this show would be much better if the early cases such as this were all in flashback (ala Arrow) and the series actually focused on when Gordon first became Commissioner and Batman was just now becoming a thing.
Police are tracking the Bat, the Bat is tracking the criminals. But you never really see Batman except in the background. More of a show that deals with being a police officer in the shadow of a masked vigilante. This allows for big time villians such as The Joker, Bane, Clay Face, The Riddler, etc etc & Arkham Asylum. and even if the police don't fight the majority of them directly, they still have to arrest them, process them and book them away. They also have to handle PR from the vigilante acts of the Batman and deal with the moral dilemma of bringing the Bat to justice vs working with him to clean up the streets.
I just feel that would have been a much more interesting show that another Law & Order: Gotham (before the Bat).
