How Gotham Achieves It’s Look

Gotham returns tonight on Fox! The city of Gotham is filled with many varied characters, but the city of Gotham itself is as much a character as any of the actors on the show. A key part of that is it’s unique look. Executive Producer Danny Cannon talked at length with the Wall Street Journal about the look of Gotham:

"Gotham is a city that’s been lost in time. It’s been left behind."

"There needed to be an otherworldly quality to Gotham. It’s such a character of the show–it’s the title character of the show—and if we were going to sell these characters and this world, we needed to do it visually as well.It’s a city with decades of grime on top of it. Underneath it is this cultured place, but it’s been taken over by corruption. Its growth has been stunted."

Cannon described Gotham as part Dickens, part punk-rock, like New York when crime was worse and the city was less populated. Read the rest of of the article on how Gotham achieves it’s look at the link and be sure to tune in tonight to watch Gotham’s return on Fox!
