DC is looking to make another mark in the television universe, with FOX reaping the eventual accolades and profit. Gotham, premiering tonight at 8pm, is an origins story that predates Batman. This story focuses on rookie detective, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), two weeks into his new position at his new precinct in the heart of Gotham City, partnered with corrupt Harvey Bullock (the always enjoyable Donal Logue). His first major case is the murder of billionaires Martha and Thomas Wayne. The only witness is their 12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz), or so we think. It is there the friendship is forged, with Jim promising young Bruce that he will find the killer, much to Alfred’s (Sean Pertwee) skepticism.

Another short teaser trailer for the upcoming Batman prequel Gotham has been released, this one titled “The Good. The Bad. The Beginning.”

The latest preview shows a young Detective Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and his partner (Donal Logue) arriving at a crime scene as many of Gotham City’s worst (or future worst) villains look on, including Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), Riddler (Cory Michael Smith), Catwoman (Camren Bicondova), and Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith).

You can check out a description and the new teaser trailer for Gotham below.

A new teaser video for Fox’s upcoming Batman prequel TV series Gotham has been released online.

The new preview briefly focuses on some of the villains of the show—Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) and Catwoman (Camren Bicondova) when they were much younger and far from established criminals in the city, as well as Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith)—and their rise as a threat.

Gotham will premiere this fall, and you can check out the new teaser video below.

The first trailer for Gotham was released recently with news that the Batman prequel had been given a full series order from Fox.

Now a first look preview video has been released that looks at the series, and also talks to various cast and crew about what potential viewers can expect as a young James Gordon (played by Ben McKenzie) deals with some of Gotham City’s most ruthless villains, far before they truly established themselves, all while a very young Bruce Wayne deals with the murder of his parents.

You can check out the first look preview video below.

Fox may have just canceled Almost Human, but they’re hoping to score some new viewers with Gotham, their upcoming Batman prequel TV series. As expected, the series has officially been given the greenlight for a full season, and the first trailer has been released to show off how it looks.

While a young Bruce Wayne will be part of the series, still mourning the death of his parents, Batman himself will supposedly not appear. At least not right away. Instead, the show will follow a young Commissioner Gordon when he was a rookie detective with the Gotham City Police Department. Gordon is played by Ben McKenzie.

You can check out the first trailer for Gotham, which will premiere this fall, below.
