Fox gets a Batman-ish series, 'Gotham'

Is this another Birds of Prey?

Fox is now the proud owner of Gotham. Gotham is a Warner Bros TV series that will focus on the origin of Commissioner James Gordon and some of the Batman villains.

Batman won't be in the series but I'm curious to see how this show will work. Do folks care about a Gordon series? And which villains will show up?

More to come.

WATCH Ben Affleck Finally Talks about Batman on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Interesting Quotes: Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara

"Ben Affleck’s Batman will be tired and weary and seasoned and been doing it for awhile."

“We think it’s the perfect springboard for Batman and Superman. Ben is perfect for the vision Zack has for that character. The fact that you saw such a passionate response in the blogosphere is really kind of a testament to the love that people have for this character.”

It's Official! Josh Brolin was in the running to play Batman

Actor Josh Brolin confirmed that he was in the running to play Batman with Henry Cavill.

HuffPo talked Josh about the role and the conversations with Zack Snyder. He said:

"We did. I didn't have conversations about it, but Zack, that was part of his idea. It just didn't turn out. It's OK. It is OK. You know, another scenario might have worked better, but I'm happy for Ben."

And in defense of Ben, Josh said:

"I've never seen such a global reaction in my life. I feel for him, truly. I would not want to be him right now. The reaction becomes so personal. It's like, 'Fuck this guy, I wish he was dead.' And you're like, 'What? Dude, seriously? This guy is just working like you are. He's doing the same thing you are. He's trying to make the best choices he can.'"

Wow, I wonder how Josh would've been in the role?

Is this Ben Affleck/Batman Concept Art Real? Let's Journey into the Mystery about this

This is very interesting news. I don't know if I can put this in the rumor bend or somewhat true box, but here it goes.

Bleeding Cool said this pic below popped up on a Facebook page called Comic Art House. I wouldn't care about this normally, but the artist is Steve Scott. Now, who is Steve Scott? He is artist responsible for the Dark Knight comic book adaptation in 2008 (which was approved by Christopher Nolan).

According to BC, this pic was up and Steve said, 'Wrong One' and then, it was gone. Why was it removed? There could be a number or reasons: Bad timing, no approval, too early, a marketing trick, hype or a working image?

Who knows, but it caught my eye. Again, I wouldn't care, but this piece of art comes from someone who's worked with Nolan before. I guess we will be speculating and spreading rumors.
