The trailer for Fox's Batman prequel show Gotham is here. This is kind of like their answer to Smallville I guess, but it looks like Jim Gordon (Ben Mckenzie from The O.C. and Southland) will be the main character. I think it's a little strange that they chose to set this at a time when Bruce Wayne is only about 12 years old. At least on Smallville, Clark Kent was a teenager and there was the promise of seeing him grow into Superman- at this age, Bruce can't even be much of a character, can he? Same goes for all these supervillains in their "before" stages- does anyone really want to see a pre-adolescent Poison Ivy or Catwoman? Seems kind of pointless. Won't this just be Gordon fighting street criminals? What's so special about that?
