If you’ve heard our Gotham Central reviews you know how delighted we are about Renee and Crispus being added to the regular cast and Edward Nygma is one of the most interesting characters in the DC universe.
⦁ In the Gotham TV series “First Look” Bruno Heller, Danny Cannon and member s of the cast provide insights in to the show and state “You won’t want to miss an episode because it might be the introduction to the Joker”. “We may show you why the Scarecrow becomes the Scarecrow”. We also discuss the Entertainment Weekly interview by James Hibberd with Gotham show runner Bruno Heller.

Fox Upfronts – Gotham Insights

20 May, 2014 gothamtvpodcastgmail-com News Comments Off on Fox Upfronts – Gotham Insights

With the teaser and extended trailers released in the last few weeks some further information came from the producers of Fox’s Gotham TV series with the “Inside Look” that was created for the Fox Upfronts last week. There are some great interviews and insights into what we are likely to see in the Gotham TV Show this fall.

Bruno Heller certainly teases us about villains to come with snippets such as “What made the Joker, the Joker?” and “How did the Scarecrow become the Scarecrow?”. The director, Danny Cannon, also gives us a nice perspective about the show adding “Why did the City get in to such a state that it needed a vigilante?”. There is much of what we saw in the trailer but there are also some nice viewpoints from the cast, a bit of new footage and we hope you enjoy this additional glimpse in to GOTHAM.
