Bruce Wayne Role Cast in Fox’s Batman Series - Kid from Touch

I am big time excited about this show. My only fear, like so many Batman spin offs (BIRDS OF PREY ring a bell) does the back story and minor characters TV producers can afford going to hold the attention of non-die hard fans?


FROM VARIETY...
There’s a new budding millionaire bachelor in Gotham City. Warner Bros. TV has tapped “Touch” alum David Mazouz for the role of a pre-teen Bruce Wayne in “Gotham,” the studio’s Batman origins drama for Fox. Mazouz will play boy who leans on his butler Alfred and Commissioner James Gordon for guidance after his wealthy parents are murdered. Bruce Wayne has traditionally been the alter ego of the Caped Crusader — but Mazouz will not at any point become Batman in the show, something Warner Bros. took pains to point that out in announcing the casting. Mazouz played Kiefer Sutherland’s son in the Fox drama “Touch.” Also cast in “Gotham,” which has a series order from Fox, is Camren Bicondova, who will play Selina Kyle, a teenage orphan and street thief who is suspicious and wholly unpredictable. Deals for Mazouz and Bicondova mark the last two regular roles to be cast in “Gotham, » - Variety Staff


More about show from WIKI

Gotham is an upcoming American television series created by Bruno Heller and based on characters appearing in and published by DC Comics, specifically those of James Gordon and Bruce Wayne, who were created by Bob Kane. The series will star Ben McKenzie as the young Gordon.[1] Heller serves as executive producer on the project along with Danny Cannon, who will also direct the pilot. The series is scheduled to premiere in the 2014-15 television season.[2] As originally conceived, the series would have served as a straightforward story of Gordon's early days on the Gotham City Police force. The idea evolved not only to include the Bruce Wayne character, but will also tell the origin stories of several famed villains, including the Penguin, the Riddler and Catwoman.[3]
