Gotham executive producer on drawing inspiration from Batman: Year One for season 4

August 6, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Bruce Wayne is set to continue on the road towards the cape and cowl in the upcoming fourth season of Gotham, and executive producer John Stephens has been speaking about the character’s journey this year, stating that they are drawing inspiration from the comic book Batman: Year One.

“He will wear body armor and grappling hooks, but he will not be Batman,” said Stephens (via ComicBook). “It’s a little more of a Batman: Year One in a different setting… I’d say visually, when you look at what Bruce is going to be doing this season, it’s gonna look far closer to what our conception of Batman is definitely gonna be. You’re also going to get to see him do very specific things, certain elements like when you watch Bruce Wayne acting like a playboy, we sort of ask the question, how did he learn to do that so well? Well, maybe there’s a time that he wasn’t pretending to be that. And we actually play with a little bit of Bruce having a teenage spiral, where he enjoys the elements of being a billionaire with no parents in Gotham, that he can draw from later on to become the fake playboy.”
