Variety wrote about the casting, which also includes Zabryna Guevara (Law and Order) as Captain Essen, Gordon’s boss at the Gotham City Police Department, and Erin Richards (Breaking In) as Barbara Kean, Gordon’s finance. If the show follows the Batman history established in the Year One comic story, Essen and Kean could eventually end up at odds.

Here’s how each character is described by the trade, which offers some new information on the show:

With the addition of those three rising young actors, and one seasoned vet, as well as McKenzie, Gotham is starting to take shape. They still have a young Bruce Wayne to cast, and how prevalent he is in the show will be a very important question to answer. However, the casting of Pertwee as Alfred suggests he’ll be pretty prominent.

What do you think of the casting so far?
