GOTHAM: Here's How David Mazouz Will Suit Up As The 6'4" Batman In The Series Finale
There have been a lot of questions about how Fox will go about putting 17-year-old David Mazouz in the Batsuit and the show's producer has now revealed the camera trickery which will be used for that...
Gotham premiered back in 2014 and it was said from day one that the show would end with Batman's arrival. The problem is, David Mazouz is still just a 17-year-old kid and not quite how you would expect the Caped Crusader to look ten years into the future.
During a panel for the series at the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, those in attendance were lucky enough to see the first footage of Batman in the show along with comic book accurate versions of both The Penguin and The Riddler. Executive producer John Stephens, meanwhile, revealed that we will and won't see Mazouz in the Batsuit.
While the young actor's face will be under the cowl and we will indeed hear his voice and "Batman growl," the suit itself is going to be worn by someone else. They will be around 6'4" and built like the Caped Crusader, while Mazouz is 5'8". Camera trickery will then be used to combine the two actors.
While some fans will more than likely find fault with this process, it makes the most sense because it allows us to see a comic accurate Batman in the Gotham finale while also keeping things consistent by having the youngster continue playing Bruce Wayne.
