GOTHAM Prequel PENNYWORTH is "R-Rated", Will Avoid Batman Villains

Alfred's swinging '60s won't swing towards Batman villains.

Deadline has a new report from the Television Critics Association, with Gotham and Pennyworth executive Danny Cannon providing some new details on what to expect with Epix's upcoming Alfred Pennyworth drama series starring Jack Bannon as Alfred and Ben Aldridge as Thomas Wayne.

Pennyworth will focus on Bruce Wayne's legendary butler, Alfred Pennyworth, a former British SAS soldier who forms a security company and goes to work with Thomas Wayne, Bruce's billionaire father, in 1960s London.  The 10-episode first season will also be executive produced and written by Gotham's Bruno Heller.

According to the article, Cannon described his vision for Pennyworth, noting, "It's twentysomething years before Gotham, it’s a very different world.  His is the DC version of 1960s London.  13 degrees history is different: It’s not the England we know.  It looks and feels like, but if you look a little closer, [you ask], 'Why is that like that?  Why is that building there?  What war is he talking about?'"

Cannon also promised a completely "unhinged, R-rated" series, especially compared to the often-campy Gotham.  Instead of featuring the ancestors of Batman villains like The Joker, The Riddler or Catwoman, Pennyworth will explore "archetypal villains and classic villains of British literature.  They’re all available to us."  When asked about seeing someone like Jack the Ripper, Cannon replied, "Jack the Ripper was 1880s, but he has descendants."

Paloma Faith will play Alfred’s main adversary, Bet Sykes, a character not from DC Comics, who is described as a "spirited, sadistic and sharp-tongued villain."  Bet's sister, Peggy Sykes (Polly Walker), is "one of Lancashire’s busiest and most successful dominatrixes.  The sensible matriarch in a family of maniacs, Peggy is fiercely loyal, endlessly resourceful and lives by her own strange but rigorous moral code."  In addition, Jason Flemyng will play another villain named Lord Harwood.

Cannon also mentioned that the show's test audience reacted well to what they saw.  He remarked, "We had a test audience and there were only so many who knew it was a DC-related series.  It was incredibly positive and that’s because the characters are being drawn out. There’s so much to draw from and so much to imagine.  You didn’t really know [Alfred’s] backstory."

Pennyworth is expected to debut on Epix sometime in June 2019.

Your 2019 Geek Movie and TV Calendar

Once again, the new year brings us closer to The Films and TV Shows You've Been Dying to See for Like Forever.  If you enjoy sci-fi, fantasy and comic book based entertainment as I do, you already have several must-see flicks and television programs in the pipeline for 2019.  With that in mind, I thought I'd go ahead and give a helpful chronological rundown of which geek movie and TV goodness arrives when.  Some of these TV shows and films will be worth the long wait, others you wouldn't watch even if they were on Netflix, but each have their audiences and key target demographics.  Start planning your work vacation/sick/personal days accordingly.

THE FANDOM ZONE 124: "Crisis on Earth-X" is Up!

"My entire life has been marked by two things.  The first one is change.  From when I was a kid to when I was an adult, things were always changing.  But no matter how different things became or what new challenges I had to face, I always had the other thing in my life was marked by, and that's you.  You've always been there. As a friend, as a partner. As the love of my life. You're my home, Iris.  And that's one thing that will never change."

"That was really nice.  When I was nine years old, I wanted to be a ballerina, remember? Even though I was not a very good dancer.  And the day of the recital, I froze.  I couldn't move, and I wanted to die.  Then I looked in the audience and I saw you.  And you got up and you climbed on the stage and you did that whole routine with me.  We killed it.  I mean, we bought the house...down.  And from that moment, I knew that, with you by my side, anything was possible.  The Flash may be the city's hero, but you, Barry Allen...you're my hero.  And I am happy, excited, and honored to be your wife."
 – Barry Allen and Iris West, Legends of Tomorrow: "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4"
