Calling all Batman fans! This new series is just what you've been waiting for.
Unlike the "Batman" movies we've seen before, "Gotham" tells the story of 12-year-old Bruce Wayne as he transforms from a young, rich kid to the infamous Batman, throughout the progression of the series. The show will follow James Gordon, a name "Batman" fans are very familiar with, and will reveal how he leapt from rookie detective to Police Commissioner, according to Fox. Gordon will attempt to restore the city of Gotham back to the way it was when he was a youngster.
Obviously, saving a city isn't an easy task. As the show works to provide a timeline of the evolution of the iconic "Batman" comic book characters, Fox will introduce Gotham's villains, including Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), the future Joker and Catwoman, who will try to prevent Commissioner Gordon from being a hero.
"Gotham" begins with a terrible tragedy for Bruce Wayne. Both of his parents are killed in an accident, and Gordon is determined to help solve the mystery. The friendship between these two will be a continuing plot thread, and the Police Commissioner will aid Wayne to fill his destined role of Batman.
"Gotham" will premiere Monday, Sept. 22, at 8/7c on Fox.
ABC's "How To Get Away With Murder," the American legal series, was created by "ShondaLand" writer Peter Nowalk, and will be executively produced by Shonda Rhimes. Viola Davis will play a strong, commanding attorney and law professor by the name of Annalise DeWitt, the female lead of the show.
"Murder" is described as a sexy, suspense legal thriller that follows DeWitt and her ambitious law school students who become entangled in a murder mystery that could have major ramifications on their entire university, as well as change the course of their lives, according to Indiewire.
"Murder invites you to wonder, throughout its first hour, what (and who) it is about; those who play the game will get reeled in, real quick, and in turn possibly discover a new TV obsession," TV Line writes.
"How To Get Away With Murder" premieres on Thursday, Sept. 25, at 10p.m. on ABC.
