Bleeding Cool writer, Rich Johnston, is reporting that according to his super secret source at Warner Bros. that “the pilot script for GOTHAM has Detective Jim Gordon trying to solve a very famous double homicide.”
Remember the quote, Gordon from the end of Batman Begins; “Armed robbery, double homicide, has a taste for the theatrical, like you. Leaves a calling card.” “The Joker?” …Duh!
At least that gives us a solid time frame now for the series if this rumor is true.
