The upcoming FOX series "Gotham" is beginning to take shape as they release more first looks at the characters that will be partaking in the James Gordon centered series. The latest of which has been Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth, butler and guardian of a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz). With his version of the classic character being that of an ex-marine, it will interesting to see if Pertwee is able to pull off a stern and hard Englisman, while also portraying a softer side that the character will likely need at some points in the series with how young Bruce is in the story.
Alfred is just the most recent of the initial character looks, with Donal Logue as the shady but effective Harvey Bullock to play alongside Ben McKenzie's James Gordon. With the general look down pat, and given his past acting history it is almost a safe bet that Donal will deliver a Harvey Bullock that all fans will enjoy. Hopefully, McKenzie will use his co-star to help his own performance, given his generally limited acting experience. Although the age difference may have this relationship looking more like that of "father and son". Along with the casting of Bruce Wayne was the casting of Selina Kyle. Who was first of the two to get an official release picture. Where we see the young Camren Bicondova with a likely accidental, added feline touch to her picture as the future Catwoman (first glance, the towers in the back look like her ears).
With the intial characters looking up to snuff in regards to the visual side of things, it does leave us optimistic about future additions to the roster of both the part-time and full-time nature. Of course not all things that look good, taste good. Hopefully,the acting, scripts and directing work together and are of a high quality. This is a FOX series, so the expectations aren't as high as it would be elsewhere. That and the fact that we have seen what happens when someone tries to play in Gotham without the goddamn Batman (ie Birds Of Prey series). Things could be different, if done right. So far, it looks okay.
Stay Nerdy!
