Warner Home Video has pegged September 8, 2015 as the Gotham: Season 1 Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD release date. Gotham: Season 2 is expected to premiere on Fox the following month or may be as early as late September.
Gotham plays out like a gritty crime drama that tells the story of how Jim Gordon rose through the ranks of the Gotham City Police Department and battled corruption all around him in an effort to clean up an incredibly dirty city. The series is designed as a prequel to the story of Batman with Bruce Wayne’s parents being murdered in the series premiere.
As much as Gotham serves as a prequel for the forces of good it also spends as much if not more time with familiar villains. The Penguin, Scarecrow, the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler and more all appear in Season 1, and more villains are on tap for Season 2.
