Fox plans to tell the origin story of Batman through its upcoming series Gotham, and its just announced that the series will premiere on September 22nd at 8PM ET/PT. Though the series exists in the world of Batman — and with famous Batman villains like the Penguin on the loose — the hero himself wont be on screen. Instead, itll take place when Bruce Wayne is just a child, right after the murder of his parents. The show will actually focus on a young Commissioner Gordon back when he was still a detective.
