Fox and WBTV have announced the key pieces of the Gotham puzzle are now all in place. The final two series regular roles have been signed up and we now know that Bruce Wayne will be played by David Mazouz and Selina Kyle will be played by Camren Bicondova.
The series, based on DC Comics characters, is an origin story about Commissioner James Gordon and takes place before Batman exists. That means Mazouz is definitely not playing Batman, so say the studios.
Mazouz and Bicondova join the cast that’s led by Ben McKenzie (Detective James Gordon) and features Donal Logue (Detective Harvey Bullock), Zabryna Guevara (Captain Essen), Erin Richards (Barbara Kean), Sean Pertwee (Alfred Pennyworth), Robin Lord Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin), and Jada Pinkett Smith (Fish Mooney).
Here are the official character descriptions:
· 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.
· Acting newcomer Camren Bicondova has been cast as Selina Kyle, a teenage orphan who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. A street thief and skilled pickpocket, she’s dangerous when cornered.
