Fox Chairman Kevin Reilly said at a TCA Media Event,”The show will track Bruce from a child (around 12 years old) until he puts on a cape (in the finale).” He’s also called the show something of an “operatic soap,” similar to Smallville. He also had mention of Catwoman, The Riddler and The Penguin. All this comes only weeks after an episode of noted writer/director Kevin Smith’s podcast “Fatman on Batman” where the author of Widening Gyre, and Cacophony (as well as the upcoming Batman: Bellicosity) talked at length with Batman: TAS’s Paul Dini about a version of the Gotham TV show that centred around Bruce Wayne’s childhood instead of Commissioner Gordon’s early career.
