Image of the Day: Batman Will Soon Begin...on TV

In honor of the 80th anniversary since Batman made his debut in DC's Detective Comics #27 (in May of 1939), the folks behind the FOX TV show Gotham released this cool promo pic of the Dark Knight staring down at the city that he's the silent guardian and watchful protector of (to quote Gary Oldman's Commissioner Gordon in 2008's The Dark Knight). As mentioned in this image, the final two episodes for Gotham will air next month—starting on April 18.

David Mazouz, who played Bruce Wayne on Gotham since it premiered on FOX in September of 2014, will be featured in close-ups of the Caped Crusader—and will even provide the growling voice of the masked vigilante himself. However, a taller actor will play Batman in wider shots of the character...as his long-awaited emergence takes place in a flash forward 10 years after the current events depicted on Gotham. Awesome.
