Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the “Gotham” pilot, which first aired on September 22, 2014, on FOX. To celebrate, writer Alex Zalben published an oral history of the show, compiling interviews with creator Bruno Heller, executive producers Danny Cannon and John Stephens, and cast members David Mazouz (Bruce Wayne), Camren Bicondova (Selina Kyle), Sean Pertwee (Alfred Pennyworth), Ben McKenzie (Jim Gordon), Robin Lord Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot), and Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock).
They reminisce about the casting process, shooting the pilot, the relationship between Bruce and Alfred, Selina and Bruce’s first kiss and David and Camren’s friendship on set, showing the pilot at San Diego Comic-Con for the first time, the show’s premiere in New York, having Batman in the finale, Camren not playing Catwoman in the finale, the impact the show had on their lives, and much more. It is an absolute must-read!
You will find below some excerpts from the interviews, but make sure to read the whole piece here!
[David Mazouz] We all knew this show was different. This show was special. The amount of executives that had their hands in this show, the amount of money that had so obviously gone into it, the amount of thought and care and the unique world that it was a part of, there was never really a question that it was going to go to series, especially after showing up for that table read and shooting that pilot.
David Mazouz was live online to talk about his time on “Gotham” with NIDO Sessions, in partnership with Comic Con Colombia. He reminisced about coming to Colombia a few years ago, the casting process of “Gotham”, how he became a fan of Batman by researching the character for the show, the process of creating his own Bruce Wayne, the evolution of the character and what helped him, and the difference between filming in the US and Latin America.
He also talked about the Snyder Cut and Snyderverse, his experiences at conventions, his relationship with the “Gotham” cast, the fans and gifts they gave him, the fun he had on set with Sean Pertwee, working with Cameron Monaghan, and how “Gotham” is part of the canon now and could inspire future iterations of Batman. Finally, he explained he’s currently focusing on college, and answered some fan questions about the content of the letter Bruce gave Selina before leaving Gotham in season 5, and the hardest scene he ever did on the show.
