New GOTHAM Still; Ben McKenzie On Playing 'Jim Gordon'

When asked by EW what excites him about playing Detective Gordon:

He’s a truly honest man. The last honest man in a city full of crooked people. It’s very tricky nowadays to play a true, honest-to-goodness hero. Everybody is so cynical of people’s intentions. What’s interesting about him is he comes into this city that he hasn’t lived in for two decades, since he was a kid, and has fresh eyes to a world he doesn’t actually know. He thinks he knows it, and his journey will be to figure out how to make it better both for Gotham and himself without completely [losing] the moral standing that he has. He’s not an anti-hero, he’s a true hero — but he will have to compromise".

I just noticed "Finger River". I was about to say there should really be a Bill Finger reference in there.

I think this show will be really good, with some cheesy parts. But with the cast I expect it to be done well.

I reeeaaalllyyyy want this show to be good. I'm a little worried about it all being teenager stuff...I'm definitely gonna watch it. I'm just hoping they can pull it off. I haven't read too much about it. I only saw the reveal trailer. So if there is more info that has contradicted me saying its all teenage stuff ignore it haha

All in all, I'm stoked they are delving into the DC universe more. I just want it to be good.

I never really got into Arrow....perhaps I'll give it another go

Hopefully this morality doesn't extend into his personal life. Beer having and wife cheating are a must.
