Speaking about Gotham today at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, executive producer Bruno Heller was asked about the large group of Batman characters introduced in the pilot of the series. While the producers have already said more characters would be introduced, could they keep up with that pace?

Said Heller, “You kind of have to front load the pilot with the best that you’ve got. You have to open big.” However, he noted, “As the show rolls on, we’ll be far more careful with how we roll out the villains. They’ll be far more surprises than just presenting them.”
