Comic book adaptations have taken off on both the big screen and the small.
Ever since “Superman and the Mole-Men” graced the silver screen in 1951, DC Comics has raked in more than its fair share of theater revenue. From “Swamp Thing” (1982), “Catwoman” (2004) and “Green Lantern” (2011) to more Batmans and Supermans than you can count on one hand, it’s clear that the franchise isn’t exactly wanting for popularity.
It’s no stranger to television, either, and a few new DC projects are on the horizon for the near future. The first of these to make its way to prime time is the highly anticipated “Gotham,” which gets underway Monday, Sept. 22, on Fox.
What makes the series a particular standout is that is doesn’t cover the Batman time frame we know from the comics and previous screen incarnations.
“Gotham” is, in fact, an origin story, and it aims to provide the background on how Gotham City and its residents — heroes and villains alike — came to be.
The idea is a dynamo for sure. While there’s no question that Batman’s a beloved character, his story has been done before, over and over. By contrast, there’s not a whole lot known about The Penguin, Catwoman and the rest before they went bad — if they ever weren’t bad — and now we’ll get some insight as to what happened to put them on their dastardly paths. With “Gotham” comes a taste of something brand new, but still connected to the story and hero that we love.
“We don’t want to just regurgitate a comic book,” says DC Entertainment’s chief creative officer Geoff Johns in a preview clip. “We need to elevate it, we need to make it something it’s never been before, while still staying true to the DNA.”
You don’t have to worry about a total lack of Batman, either — he’s still around, he’s just not Batman yet, and therefore doesn’t de-
mand the same focus. Thirteenyear-old David Mazouz (“Touch”) plays the billionaire-playboy-tobe, Bruce Wayne. He doesn’t know it yet, but the murder of his parents sets young Bruce on the path to keeping Gotham safe from people like the man who made him an orphan. It’s also how he meets Det. James Gordon (Ben McKenzie,
Millennials will best know McKenzie from his role as “The O.C.’s” brooding bad boy with a heart of gold, Ryan Atwood. Now in a far more age-appropriate role, the handsome Texan is the perfect choice for the future Commissioner Gordon.
“He has a kind of natural integrity and strength,” writer and ex-
fashioned set of values that really shines through his performance.” The rookie detective and his brazen and hard-nosed partner, Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue, “Sons of Anarchy”), take on the high-profile case of the billionaire Waynes’ murders. When he meets their 12-year-old son who survived the encounter, Gordon vows to catch the killer. From there, the series will follow his rise through Gotham’s police department and his relationship with Bruce and the lad’s imperturbable guardian Alfred (Sean Pertwee, “Camelot”) as the two help mold the boy into the Caped Crusader. As for the baddies, expect to see younger and less outlandishly dressed versions of Catwoman (Camren Bicondova, “Battlefield America,” 2012), The Riddler (Cory Michael
Smith, “Camp X-Ray,” 2014) and more, but the first season focuses most heavily on The Penguin, or Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor, “Accepted,” 2006), as he’s still known. A preview clip shows a geeky (and let’s face it, kind of creepy) Cobblepot being ridiculed for his waddling gait — tuxedo and all — and the palpable rage that flares up in him is a pretty clear indicator of his villainous future.
“Who are the super-villains in the city, and how did they become that way? Maybe they were just like me and you,” suggests director and executive producer Danny Cannon in the preview. “Why on Earth would that real person turn into that crazy psychopath?” This is what “Gotham” will explore.
As for the rest of the villains we’re familiar with — Poison Ivy, The Scarecrow, The Joker and any other member of the rogues’ gallery — their inclusion and amount of screen time is dependent on the audience’s reaction to them.
“The first year is very much about the rise of The Penguin ... but other characters will be introduced as we roll along through
that first season,” Heller revealed during a TCA media tour, “but we’ll respond to what’s working and what isn’t.”
They won’t play it fast and loose with character roll-outs, either; Heller assures us that later villains-to-be will be introduced slowly, and often in unexpected ways.
Not all characters will be recognizable from the DC Universe, though. Jada Pinkett Smith (“Hawthorne”) has a starring role as Fish Mooney, a sadistic gang boss and nightclub owner that Gordon will find himself going up against as he navigates Gotham’s crime world. She’s got a hot temper, can read people like a book and wants to control the city — and she’s also the long-tormented Cobblepot’s boss.
It’s tough to catch all the new projects coming in hard and fast during premiere season, but “Gotham” is one that you’ll want to make time for. What little that’s been revealed of the series already makes it a must-see, and that barely scratches the surface. The fresh new origin story premieres Monday, Sept. 22, on Fox.

The Rover
In a dystopian near-future, Eric (Pearce) lives a hard and solitary life, having lost his farm, his family and everything of value to him. When a gang of dangerous criminals steals his last possession — his car — Eric is determined to get it back. He sets off across the Australian outback to hunt the thieves down, enlisting the help of Rey (Pattinson), a naive young member of the gang who was wounded and left behind in their scramble to es-
cape.

What could be more American than grilling?
It’s not just a rhetorical question. From north to south, east to west, no matter what the culinary traditions are in the region, the grill is there. Whether it is whole hogs in Virginia or blue crabs along Maryland’s eastern shoreline, T-bone steaks in Texas or quail in Georgia, cooks from all walks of life fire up the heat and throw down some meat — and sometimes even veggies.
“American Grilled” is airing its season finale Wednesday, Sept. 24, on Travel Channel, and if you haven’t been watching this sizzling sensation with host David Guas, you’ve been missing out on something special.
Cut from the Food Network’s “Chopped” mold (but what serial cooking competition isn’t nowadays?), “American Grilled” is redefining the formula and making it feel fresh again. Four masters of the grill come together and, through several sweat-inducing rounds, take mystery ingredients and transform them on the grill into what will hopefully be mouth-watering dishes. One by
one they’re eliminated until just one remains to take home the $10,000 prize.
Yeah, that sounds familiar all right. But the Devil’s in the details, and it’s those details that shake things up here. The secret ingredient that makes this dish unique is that it’s all local.
Each episode touches down in
a different city, where they rustle up four local grill masters to compete — these men and women are the masters of their domain, and they’re fighting on home turf. They aren’t using random ingredients, either. While they may not know ahead of time what they’ll be cooking with, the cooks are given local specialties that they should be familiar with, resulting in top-quality food that’s as good as anything served in local restaurants.
And it’s that local touch that makes “American Grilled” unique. Filmed outdoors at iconic landmarks like Chicago’s Wrigley Field, the city itself is a character as much as the contestants and judges are.
With a second season hinted at but not yet officially announced, Travel Channel’s “American Grilled” is a load of fun that really shouldn’t be missed. Don’t miss its season 1 finale, Wednesday Sept. 24.
