The show is currently in its second season following the life of Commissioner James Gordon and his rise to prominence in Gotham City, prior to the arrival of Batman.

Similarly Taylor's character, Oswald Cobblepot, also has a rise to prominence of his own, becoming the Penguin, a leading criminal mastermind in the City.

Gotham features a young Bruce Wayne still coping with the murder of his parents, as well as other criminals such as Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, who will be featured in an upcoming episode.

There is no word on whether Bruce Wayne will actually become Batman in the show. We can only hope.
