Fox superhero TV series Gotham, currently in hiatus, is one of the breakout shows of 2014's fall season. The show is a prequel of Batman and is about the city before the caped superhero arrived. Gotham has only aired 10 episodes so far but critics are already raving about it. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 90% rating based on 86 reviews, commending it for its "high production values, a talented cast, and an appealingly stylized approach to the Batman mythos."
Gotham TV series is not the only successful DC Comics-inspired series of 2014. There is also the Flash of CW Network that broke records in just nine episodes. The Flash did crossover episodes with another DC comics character Arrow and they did well in ratings game. The success has made fans cry for a crossover with Gotham. However, with the Fox show being a period drama and airing on different network, the chances for it to happen is from little to zero.
While Gotham, which stars Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon and David Mazouz as yonug Bruce Wayne, can't have a crossover with other DC shows on TV, it might have a parallel series in the universe. That is if the people behind will revive talks about it.
According to a report by the Blastr, up-and-coming short film maker Harry Locke IV already has laid out plan for his own version of Gotham that will feature Olivia Sage as the main character. Some of his producer friends hooked him up with a showrunner from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. However, they did not known that Warner Bros. already had Gotham and so, they ditched the idea.
The synopsis of the Gotham parallel series is below as per Blastr:
"The home of the Dark Knight viewed through the eyes of its citizen's greatest threat...themselves.
Synopsis: A world asphyxiating on its own blood and moral depravity, GOTHAM thrusts us into a community at its breaking point, barreling headlong into urban warfare with the greatest gallery of rogues known to man smelling blood in the water. Winter is upon the dark city, and its citizens are being ushered towards an inevitable confrontation against a most vicious threat... their own sins."
