With only his faithful butler Alfred to raise him, Bruce forms an unlikely friendship with the young detective Gordon (Ben McKenzie). He will play a key role in helping Bruce become one of the world’s most famous masked heroes. Viewers will also learn about the beginnings of some of Gotham’s most famous criminals, including how the brilliant forensic scientist, Edward Nygma, became The Joker.
