'Gotham' is a Ticking Bomb in New Trailer for the Fox Series

"This is my city. I've come back because I care what's happening to it. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who cares. This town is at a tipping point: crime, corruption, ooze on every corner. Someone needs to take a stand against it all — and that is where we come in."

And so begins the latest trailer for Fox's new series, Gotham, taking place in the city we all know will one day be protected by Batman and his army of endangered child sidekicks. But before that ever happens the Gotham police force is on their own in battling the growing forces of evil, and the two leading the charge are James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue). Set to the sound of Aloe Blacc's track "Ticking Bomb" (everybody's using this song lately), the trailer show Gordon investigating a crime scene while Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova) and Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) watch.

Also starring David Mazouz as young Bruce Wayne and Sean Pertwee as Alfred, Gotham premieres on September 22nd.

Full Trailer for Fox's 'Gotham' Series Introduces Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon

As expected, Fox gave a "thumbs up" to the Batman prequel series, Gotham, picking up the show for at least 13 episodes, and now they've released a trailer to accompany the announcement. The show stars Ben McKenzie as Detective James Gordon, still a rookie on the police force who befriends a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) after his parents are murdered. We know their deaths will ultimately lead to Wayne taking on the mantle of Batman, but this series chronicles the years leading up to that as Gordon fights to save Gotham from the crime ruling its streets.

The emphasis of the trailer is in that first meeting between Gordon and Wayne, but then it quickly goes into showing off the younger versions of Batman's future villains: Poison Ivy, Penguin, Riddler, and Catwoman...well, Catwoman is totally bad but you get the point. We even see a little bit of Jada Pinkett Smith as the colorfully-named crime boss, Fish Mooney. Will this be just another cop procedural with the occasional supervillain thrown in for good measure? That's kind of what's being hinted at here but there's a lot more we've yet to see.

Also starring Donal Logue, Barbara Kean, Jada Pinkett Smith, Robin Lord Taylor, Camren Bicondova, Sean Pertwee, Cory Michael Smith, and Zabryna Guevara, Gotham will debut on Fox this fall.

First Look at Harvey Bullock and Selina Kyle of TV's 'Gotham'

We now have the first officially released images of Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock and 14-year-old Camren Bicondova as Selina "Catwoman" Kyle in the Gotham TV series. Logue always resembled Bullock, anyway, so all they had to do was give him the proper gumshoe attire.

The show is an origin story for Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), taking place soon after the latter's parents are murdered. We know that's the event that leads Bruce to eventually take up the mantle of Batman, and if showrunners have their way we'll see the suit in the final episode.

Bullock is Gordon's rough 'n tumble partner on the Gotham police force, similar to the character seen in the DC comics. Kyle is described as "a teenage orphan, who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A street thief and skilled pickpocket, she's dangerous when cornered", totally in line with the Catwoman we've come to know.

Donal Logue is Harvey Bullock in 'Gotham'; '24: Live Another Day' Adds Michelle Fairley

I don't watch a lot of TV, but two shows that are definitely on my radar are the return of Jack Bauer in 24: Live Another Day, and Fox's Gotham series. Both shows have made two crucial casting additions, and both happen to be two of my favorite actors.

First up, Donal Logue has been confirmed to play Det. Harvey Bullock on Gotham. This comes after rumors had surfaced that Logue was up for the part of the rough around the edges cop who serves as a partner and mentor to young Jim Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie. Logue joins Zabryna Guevara as Captain Essen, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth and Robin Lord Taylor as the Penguin. Bruno Heller is penning the script and will serve as showrunner for the confirmed series, with Danny Cannon directing the pilot. Logue has starred in numerous TV programs including Grounded for Life, Terriers, and Vikings. Perfect casting, if you ask me.

And Catelyn Stark....er, Michelle Fairley is replacing Judy David in 24: Live Another Day, the 12-episode return of Fox's hit action series. She'll have a recurring role as “Margot, a British national and the widow of a notorious terrorist.”She joins Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, Mary Lynn Rajskub, John Boyega, Benjamin Bratt, Yvonne Strahovski and more when 24: Live Another Day debuts on May 5th.
