Sci-fi Talk

A dive into the gritty origins of Gotham, the noir-tinged series that reimagined the aftermath of Bruce Wayne’s tragic loss. Developed by Bruno Heller, Gotham explores the city’s descent into chaos and the rise of its most iconic figures—before the Bat ever took flight. Recorded live at New York Comic Con, this roundtable features candid conversations with cast members Robin Lord Taylor (Penguin), Sean Pertwee (Alfred), Erin Richards (Barbara Kean), Ben McKenzie (Jim Gordon), Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock), and executive producer Danny Cannon. They reflect on the show’s early creative constraints, including navigating the DC Universe’s tight character usage rules—like Cameron Monaghan’s Joker-inspired arc that couldn’t officially use the name or signature green hair.   Start Your Free One Year Trial For Sci-Fi Talk Plus Today
