Gotham TV series coming from FOX

Exciting news about a live action TV series that focuses on Gotham and a young Jim Gordon has hit.

From Deadline:

In one of the biggest drama deals this season, after a bidding war, Fox has landed Gotham, from Warner Bros. TV and The Mentalist creator Bruno Heller, with a series commitment.

For Gotham, Warner Bros TV is mining one of DC Comics‘ most popular character universes, Batman. It explores the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains that made Gotham famous.

In Gotham, Gordon is still a detective with the Gotham City Police Department and is yet to meet Batman who will not be part of the series.

It will be interesting to see how this series develops. Could we get getting something like the O'Neil / Giordano / Janson short series "Gotham of Gordon" or the acclaimed "Gotham Central" from Brubaker / Rucka / Lark? Either way there is plenty of rich source material to choose from.

It seems like a pity to have such a definite exclusion of Batman. With a confirmed film casting, how cool would it be to have Ben Affleck's Batman bookend the series! Even if it was a shadowy over the shoulder shot that only required a voice-over from Affleck.

What does this deal between WB and Fox also mean for the Bill Dozier / Adam West Batman series?
