New Gotham TV spot teases the Joker!

The Good. The Evil. The Beginning.

In the latest trailer for Fox’s Gotham, we’re treated to our first Joker Easter Egg, and I have to say, it’s handled pretty damn well.

Okay, elephant in the room; I think we can all acknowledge that having the Joker in the series in the first place – a series which features a very, very young Bruce Wayne long before he donned the cowl of Batman – is something of a curious decision, but to be honest, I’m, not all that bothered.  A chance to see perhaps the most iconic villain in the history of comicbooks on my TV screen is too good to pass up, and based on what we can see here, it’s all looking rather promising.

Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think;

Based upon characters published by DC Entertainment and produced by Warner Bros. Television, GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told. Starring Ben McKenzie (“Southland,” “The O.C.”), Donal Logue (“Sons of Anarchy,” “Terriers,” “Vikings,” “Copper”) and Jada Pinkett Smith (“The Matrix” films, “HawthoRNe”), GOTHAM follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the birth of one of the most popular super heroes of our time. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” franchise, “Nikita”). John Stephens will serve as an executive producer on the series.
