The FOX/WBTV drama project "Gotham" has cast the final two series regular roles of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. Just released, "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."

The role of "Selina Kyle" goes to newcomer, Camren Bicondova (who bears a striking resemblance to Michelle Pfeiffer). Selina is described as a "teenage orphan who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A street thief and skilled pickpocket, she’s dangerous when cornered."

Ben McKenzie ("Southland,""The O.C") will be taking the lead role of Detective James Gordon in the upcoming Warner Bros./Fox drama, "Gotham." The pilot was written by Bruno Heller ("Rome," "The Mentalist") and will be directed by Danny Cannon ("Nikita," "CSI"), with the pair co-executive producing.

Based on characters from the DC Comics classic, "Gotham" is a drama that will explore the origins of future Commissioner James Gordon, an adolescent Bruce Wayne and the infamous villains of Gotham city.

"We see Detective Gordon, before he's a commissioner, all the characters you know, Bruce Wayne, the Penguin, all of them. It's Gotham teetering on the edge, and we see what makes these characters become who they are, [like] Catwoman. It's an operatic soap that has a slightly larger-than-life quality to it," Fox chairman Kevin Reilly stated.

McKenzie is the first member to be cast in the series, which is currently in the process of being written. Stay tuned for all the latest right here!

Fox's 'Gotham' to Feature Classic Characters

Fox's new drama "Gotham" just got a little more interesting. Originally described as an origin story of Commissioner James Gordon, it seems as if things have changed.

Initially, the show had little to do with Bruce Wayne, but Fox Chairman Kevin Reilly revealed some new twists during an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour. Not only will audiences be getting a healthy dose of the future hero of Gotham, they will also be getting insight into the villains as well.

"We see Detective Gordon, before he's a commissioner, all the characters you know, Bruce Wayne, the Penguin, all of them. It's Gotham teetering on the edge, and we see what makes these characters become who they are, [like] Catwoman. It's an operatic soap that has a slightly larger-than-life quality to it," Reilly stated.
