Jada Pinkett Smith Joins Cast Of Batman Prequel 'Gotham'

Gotham City is a dash of Hollywood glamor.
Jada Pinkett Smith has joined the cast of “Gotham,” the Batman prequel series slated to air on Fox in the fall.

The “Matrix: Revolutions” star will play Fish Mooney, billed by producers as “a sadistic gangster boss and nightclub owner” in the one hour drama.
The actress, the wife of Will Smith, has plenty of television experience, fresh off her lead role on TNT’s “HawthoRNe” for three seasons.

Though set in the fictional city famous from Batman lore, “Gotham” takes place in the years before the Caped Crusader first donned the cape and cowl. The series instead focuses on the backsetories of future Police Commissioner James Gordon and some notable villains.
“Southland” veteran Ben McKenzie has been cast as Gordon; Sean Pertwee is on board as Wayne Manor butler Alfred Pennyworth and Robin Lord Taylor is signed on as Oswald Cobblepot - better known to comic fans as the nefarious Penguin. Erin Richards, Donal Logue and Zabryna Guevara round out the cast.

“The Mentalist” creator Bruno Hiller wrote the pilot and is the show’s executive producer.
