Jim Gordon won’t be the only iconic DC character featured in Fox’s Gotham ! Young Bruce Wayne’s journey to becoming Batman will be a focus of the series.

Fox’s Gotham — a potential new television series for the 2014-15 season — was originally described as the origin story of Commissioner Jim Gordon and the villains who made Batman's gritty and dark hometown famous, but no one knew if the iconic Caped Crusader himself would actually make an appearance.
Well, the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Kevin Reilly, Fox's entertainment chairman, not only revealed that Batman would be part of Gotham, but took things one step further. “The final episode of the series will be Bruce Wayne putting on the cape,” he said. Wayne himself will be around “12 or so” when the series begins. “This is an origin story,” said Reilly. No casting has been announced for Bruce Wayne or Jim Gordon.
In addition to confirming Bruce Wayne as part of the series, Reilly announced that the Riddler, the Penguin, the Joker, and Catwoman would also be part of Gotham's rogue's gallery. Thanks to studio Warner Bros. Television's close corporate relationship with DC Comics, there will never be a question of whether Gotham can use a character within the show, given that they hold all television rights to the characters.
