Batman is slowly, but surely coming to
Gotham. The show has always dropped little hints and teases about Bruce's future, but the upcoming season four will look to kick it in to high gear as seen in the San Diego Comic-Con
trailer.
Showrunner John Stephens talked at the
Gotham panel at Comic-Con about Bruce's transformation, and says they're drawing inspiration from a very specific comic book.
“He will wear body armor and grappling hooks, but he will not be Batman,” said Stephens.
“It’s a little more of a Batman: Year One in a different setting.”
He went on to speak about Bruce being closer to Batman then he has ever been before this season.
“I’d say visually, when you look at what Bruce is going to be doing this season, it's gonna look far closer to what our conception of Batman is definitely gonna be” he teased.
“You're also going to get to see him do very specific things, certain elements like when you watch Bruce Wayne acting like a playboy, we sort of ask the question, how did he learn to do that so well? Well, maybe there's a time that he wasn't pretending to be that. And we actually play with a little bit of Bruce having a teenage spiral, where he enjoys the elements of being a billionaire with no parents in Gotham, that he can draw from later on to become the fake playboy.”
Gotham, season four, returns to Fox on Thursday, September 21st.
