    We know there's a TV show Gotham coming focusing on the origin story of Commissioner James Gordon on FOX/WBTV. It's been emphasized that this is not a "Batman" show. But of course, being set in Gotham City and the ties to different Batman characters, it's almost a given that we could expect to see several familiar characters pop up.

    While the casting has been announced little by little, Warner Bros has officially announced the "final two series regular roles" of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. We all know they will both grow up to become Batman and Catwoman but they are far from that at this point. It is interesting to note they will be "series regulars." What will their relationship with each other be, if any? We'll have to wait and see.

    So who will play young Bruce Wayne?

    No Caption Provided

    David Mazouz (Touch) has been cast as the preteen Bruce Wayne, sentenced to a solitary life after the tragic murder of his wealthy parents. Serious and soulful, young Bruce relies on the guidance and protection of Alfred Pennyworth and James Gordon.

    What about Selina Kyle?

    No Caption Provided

    Acting newcomer Camren Bicondova has been cast as Selina Kyle, a teenage orphan who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A street thief and skilled pickpocket, she’s dangerous when cornered.

    They're young. That's good since this show isn't about them. It will be interesting to see how they weave their way through Gordon's story and what they'll be up to.

    Here's the previously released information:

    • Based upon characters published by DC Comics, GOTHAM is a drama exploring the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains that made Gotham famous.
    • Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome) wrote the pilot script and will serve as executive producer. Danny Cannon (the CSI series, Nikita) will direct and executive produce the pilot.
    • Series regulars are Ben McKenzie (Detective James Gordon), Donal Logue (Detective Harvey Bullock), Zabryna Guevara (Captain Essen), Erin Richards (Barbara Kean), Sean Pertwee (Alfred Pennyworth), Robin Lord Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin), David Mazouz (Bruce Wayne), Camren Bicondova (Selina Kyle) and Jada Pinkett Smith (Fish Mooney).

    So Selina's a few years older. I guess that makes it easier if they want to go into the street-smart rough-living story.

    It'll probably be a cool show, but I've never been on board with a "Gordon is in Gotham when Bruce was little (& interacted with him....especially being there when his parents died)" origin. I prefer Batman: Year One (this was canon until mid n52, right?) where Gordon came to Gotham when Bruce was returning from his training - so they're much closer in age. The 'new' story is so overdone ("you were that little kid many years ago!").

    Ok casting of a super young Bruce Wayne is a good sign that this will likely be the James Gordon show the inital press release said. So he won't be a brooding teenager. It also percludes him from being all tag along with Gordon.

    Gotham still may be pretty good. Cmon Donal Logue is Harvey Bullock how could it not be great?

    DMZ? That's new to me lol They seem to be really pushing the Vertigo/DC series, with some mainstream(ie Smallville, now Arrow, Flash soon and Constantine)

    The Catwoman casting is great but I don't know about David Masouz. Unlike a couple of commentators above I liked him in Touch, he was kind of meant to be unlikable since he couldn't convey what he was feeling. But he doesn't look anything like past versions of young Bruce Wayne I've seen. Not to be crude but he kind of looks like he will grow up to look more like Arnold Horshack and less the Brad Pitt play boy type. They might have to recast if this show goes more than a few years.

    I'm not a big fan of the Bruce and Selina knowing each other as kids idea, if that's what they're going for. Got no problem with the actors, even if they could have found someone that resembles typical young Bruce a bit more.

    @rustyroy: I thought the same thing initially but realized it was because of the hair. His cold blue eyes and intense smirk/scowl seem pretty spot on. He just needs a haircut. Badly. IGN had a close up headshot of that picture that showed off what I'm seeing a little better.

    Bruce looks alright, once they fix his hair. I don't know about selina. Her eyes are too far apart, and I alway s pictured her with naturally darker/ more tanned skin.

    I found the worst picture, and I still think it's the hair. Getting rid of those locks will make him look so much less...Jewish. Not that that's bad, but it's not Bruce Wayne (and before anyone jumps on me for stereotyping, both this kids parents are ethnically Jewish).
