    TV Show Auditionsstates that FOX is currently casting series regulars in Los Angeles, one of whom will be 10-year old Bruce Wayne. It's probably safe to assume, based on this news, that Gotham is firmly set in that time period rather than portraying the investigation in flashbacks. Another bit of evidence is TV Show Auditions' story synopsis, which simply states, "Set in the early days of James Gordon's police tenure, when he meets a boy named Bruce Wayne..."

    Gotham's pilot begins shooting in March, 2014.

    There was a rumor that some of Batman's villain will make appearances in the show but I don't know how that would be possible with a 10 year old Bruce Wayne, maybe Falcone, Penguin or Court of Owls could appear in the show.

    Then maybe they will tie this show with the movies so they can explain this Batman origin.

    They are going to take a chance with Flash

    Wonder Woman probably is going to get a solo movie.

    Who the hell care about the fake member of the Justice League?

    these are amazing news.

    That's unlikely but maybe, the report says that the 10 year Bruce Wayne will be a series regular so they won't show him becoming Batman.

    Yeah I don't get why he should be a series regular, unless the central plot of the whole series revolves around the Wayne's murders, which I'm gonna go ahead and guess now that it will be, otherwise there is no reason for him to be a regular in the series.

    Since its on Fox and NOT the CW, id probably be ok with this. CW makes such pulpy, soap opera crap.

    In his mind he is ready to become Batman. He may doesn't have the body in that time but he has the will.

    Green arrow has a show you may not like it. I guess that Hawkman is ok if Hour man can get a show.

    I was talking about the new 52 team. If Green Arrow had decents villains i'm sure its would make a awesome animated show. As for Hourman idk and a Hawkman show would be awesome but would it have a decent public count?

    @lordofthenorth: Fox has shows like House, Firefly, 24, X-Files, etc. At best, at least we know the target audience wont be tween girls, like CW. Seriously, every show on that station may as well be Twilight.

    So they ar going with Gordon and Bruce having some type of relationship before him being Batman.

    I hope this means that the DC universe is going to be less linear that Marvel, they need to do their own thing and have their own flavor.

    I love the idea of a Jim Gordon-centric TV show. I don't see why young Bruce is necessary at all. I guess so they can bill it as a Batman show. Hopefully we'll see other GCPD characters. Renee Montoya would be great.
