Gotham is an American crime television series developed by Bruno Heller, based on characters appearing in and published by DC Comics in their Batman franchise, primarily those of James Gordon and Bruce Wayne.

Main characters

  • James "Jim" Gordon (portrayed by Ben McKenzie) – A new detective at Gotham City Police Department in its 1st Grade working to find the man who killed Bruce Wayne's parents and battling the corruption of Gotham City's Police Department.[1] He is a war veteran and his father was the Gotham City District Attorney before his death in a car accident when James was 13. McKenzie did not audition for the role. Heller, with whom he had worked before, wrote the role for McKenzie, who described the character as "an old-fashioned hero in an age of anti-heroes. A throwback. Jim's a lawman, that restricts him in some ways. But also means he can become powerful within the system and change things for the better".[2]
  • Harvey Bullock (portrayed by Donal Logue) – Gordon's loyal partner and ally. Bullock is a seemingly corrupt and brutish detective who has gradually become loyal to James Gordon. At the beginning of the second season, Bullock has resigned from the police force.[3]
  • Bruce Wayne (portrayed by David Mazouz) – The orphaned son of Thomas and Martha Wayne who is under the care of Alfred Pennyworth. Traumatized by the murder of his parents, Bruce has been doing his part to find the identity of his parent's killer while showing concern of some illegal activities done by members of his father's company. Bruce displays a fervent tendency to train himself as investigator and combatant, but is still navigating the remainder of his childhood with Alfred's guidance. In a later life, Bruce will go on to fight crime in his adulthood as Batman.[4]
  • Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (portrayed by Robin Lord Taylor) – A cunning, well-spoken criminal "snitch." He starts out as an attendant for Fish Mooney at her nightclub. After he is discovered to be a informant for the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit regarding the Thomas and Martha Wayne's murder, he is brutally beaten leaving him with an odd way of walking furthering the usage of the nickname "Penguin". He escapes an attempt on his life, collaborating with Don Falcone, when Gordon deliberately misfires at the pier he's been sent for execution. After a stint in the Maroni Crime Family as a restaurant manager, he later assumes Mooney's position in the Falcone Crime Family when Mooney's plot against the Don is uncovered. At the end of season one, he becomes Gotham City's sole remaining mob boss.[5][6]
  • Barbara Kean (portrayed by Erin Richards) – The daughter of a wealthy couple and the owner of an art gallery, Barbara Kean is the ex-fiancée of James Gordon and the ex-lover of Renee Montoya.[5] After a hiatus from Gordon following attempts on her life by the Maroni Crime Family and the Falcone Crime Family, Barbara has stayed with Renee Montoya and her parents before planning to rekindle her relationship with James Gordon. Barbara even befriends Selina Kyle and Ivy Pepper when they took refuge in James Gordon's penthouse. After finding out that Gordon had moved on to a relationship with Leslie Thompkins, Barbara later had a romantic encounter with the wealthy Jason Lennon unaware he is the serial killer known as the Ogre. Barbara suffered a mental trauma after she was kidnapped by the Ogre and was forced to murder her own parents. When she attempted to kill Leslie during an informal counseling session, the latter rendered her unconscious. She was incarcerated in Arkham Asylum until she is among those sprung from Arkham by Tabitha Galvan on her brother Theo's behalf. During this time, Barbara develops a relationship with Tabitha.
  • Sarah Essen (portrayed by Zabryna Guevara) – The Captain of the Gotham City Police Department's homicide squad and the boss of James Gordon and Harvey Bullock.[5] She is an honest cop that wants to do something about the rampant corruption in her department, but fears for her family's safety. Following Gillian Loeb's resignation, Sarah Essen is sworn in as the new police commissioner. She is later killed during the Maniax' raid on the Gotham City Police Department.
  • Selina "Cat" Kyle (portrayed by Camren Bicondova) – A young street orphan and skilled thief who was a childhood friend of Bridget Pike. Since witnessing the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne while memorizing what the murderer looked like without the mask, Cat has been lingering around the borders of Wayne Manor which leads to her befriending Bruce Wayne. Cat also has connections with Ivy Pepper and later befriends Barbara Kean.[4] During the gang war between Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni, Selina is among the street children recruited into Fish Mooney's gang. When it came to Oswald Cobblepot's fight with Fish Mooney, Selina disappeared during the conflict. She later appears as part of Cobblepot's gang.
  • Edward Nygma (portrayed by Cory Michael Smith) – A coroner and forensics operative who works for the Gotham City Police Department and often presents his information in riddles. After being constantly mistreated by his fellow co-workers, Nygma murdered a fellow officer who was also Kringle's abusive boyfriend causing a mental breakdown that results in a second personality.[8]
  • Renee Montoya (portrayed by Victoria Cartagena) – A detective in the Major Crimes Unit of the Gotham City Police Department who is dedicated to fighting police corruption. She initially believed that Jim had actually murdered Oswald Cobblepot and was obsessed with arresting him until it was shown that Cobblepot is still alive. She later occasionally assists him in fighting Gotham's corruption after he and Crispus saved him from being killed by Victor Zsasz. Renee was revealed to have had a relationship with Barbara Kean.[8]
  • Carmine "The Roman" Falcone (portrayed by John Doman) – The Don of the Falcone Crime Family and businessman. Carmine Falcone is Fish Mooney's superior and has specific members of both the Gotham City government and the Gotham City Police Department on his payroll (examples being Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and Mayor Aubrey James). While heading a traditional Cosa Nostra family, he also controls a series of various other criminal organizations in Gotham City including the Triads, the Irish Mob, and Russian Mob as well as other Gotham City gangs such as Fish Mooney's gang. Upon first encountering Gordon after preventing Fish Mooney's men from killing him and Bullock, he at first dismisses his idealism as naive. His hold on Gotham is challenged by the rival Maroni family and his allies such as Fish Mooney and the Russian Mob. Several of his caporegimes like Jimmy Saviano have also shown signs of treachery. Following the end of his mob war with the late Sal Maroni, Falcone retired from being a Don, and leaves Gotham. Before leaving, he reveals that he used to be friends with Jim Gordon's father prior to being in the mob and gives Jim a knife that was his father's and parts on good terms stating that it's time for some real law and order in Gotham.[9]
  • Maria Mercedes "Fish" Mooney (portrayed by Jada Pinkett Smith) – A former nightclub owner and mobster who led a gang under Don Falcone and was the former boss of Oswald Cobblepot. She operated in Gotham City's red-light district despite the heavy presence of the Italian Mafia. Mooney sometimes provides information to Detective Bullock, who has a sweet spot for her. Mooney has secret plans to overthrow Falcone which involved hiring a girl named Liza to seduce her and secretly blowing up Falcone's money supply.[10] After her plans to overthrow Falcone are exposed, Carmine has Mooney and Butch Gilzean taken prisoner while the remnants ended up on Oswald Cobblepot's side. After escaping from Carmine Falcone's men, Mooney tries to leave Gotham City by water and is captured by the minions of the Dollmaker. Mooney was eventually able to escape with some of her fellow prisoners. Fish Mooney returned to Gotham City during the gang war between Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni where she built her gang from street children including Selina Kyle. She was pushed off a building into the ocean in a battle with the Penguin, which seemingly killed her.

  • Leslie "Lee" Thompkins (portrayed by Morena Baccarin)[14] – A physician at Arkham Asylum who works in the female ward. After enlisting as a medical examiner at Gotham City Police Department, Leslie enters a relationship with Jim Gordon.[15] Proving herself an observant and energetic partner at the GCPD, she often persists in trying to keep actively involved as a means to further Jim's work, making him uncomfortable with potentially endangering her as with Barbara following Cobblepot's return.
  • Lucius Fox (portrayed by Chris Chalk)[16][17] – A junior executive and tech genius at Wayne Enterprises who in the shadow of the company's corrupt activities emerges as a moral beacon for Bruce Wayne as he attempts to help him uphold the legacy of his parents Thomas and Martha Wayne.

He first appeared in "The Anvil and the Hammer" where he entered Sid Bunderslaw's office at the time of Bruce Wayne's unexpected visit. Before allowing Bruce to leave Wayne Enterprises, Lucius Fox warns Bruce that his father was very guarded man. Lucius later encountered Alfred at the bar where he is convinced to help Bruce Wayne repair a computer that Alfred had wrecked.
  • Theodore Galavan (portrayed by James Frain)[18][19] – An attractive billionaire industrialist who poses as a hero when in all actuality he plans on causing chaos and violence in Gotham City due to a centuries-old vendetta in which Galavan's "family", who are said to have built Gotham City, had their credit for doing so stolen from them. He started his plan by holding Mayor James as a captive and springing six inmates from Arkham Asylum to form the Maniax in order for them to do various attacks on his behalf. As a candidate for Gotham City's upcoming mayoral election, Galavan is a father figure to Bruce Wayne after saving him from Jerome Valeska.
