Gotham season 3 is set to continue its own take on the Batman universe, setting up introductions to the Court of Owls, the Mad Hatter, and a newly-reborn Poison Ivy, among others. With all this expansion happening, one would think there wouldn't be time for any characters outside of the Batman lore. Well, as it turns out, actor David Mazouz, who plays the young Bruce Wayne on Gotham, has his own ideas of what he'd like to see.
"I think it'd be really cool to have a young Clark Kent on the show," the actor said in an interview with IGN. "To have a 15-year-old Clark Kent. I know in Batman v Superman they played it like Metropolis and Gotham are twin cities, so it wouldn't be that hard to take a boat ride over for Clark..." While there haven't been any overt references to the location of Metropolis in this universe, there's nothing saying the producers couldn't take a page out of the DCEU by having them be in close proximity to one another.
As for how the show could start referencing a young Superboy, Mazouz had an idea. "You know, Clark Kent as a teenager saves a busload of kids from drowning, right?" he said. "It would just be really cool to just start a scene in the GCPD and just pan, like start on a newspaper that says, '15-Year-Old Boy in Metropolis Saves Busload of Kids From Drowning.' And then just pan up and have a regular scene that has nothing to do with the ... throw a little hint."
