Gotham In Ridgewood Batman TV Drama Holds Local Shoot Ben McKenzie plays Det. Jim Gordon on Fox’s Gotham. (Fox Broadcasting Co./Jessica Miglio) by Robert Pozarycki Ridgewood became part of Gotham City last night. Crews from the hit Fox drama Gotham were scheduled to shoot an exterior scene along Palmetto Street between Cypress and Seneca avenues from around 5 p.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. this morning. Parking was restricted on the block and several nearby streets as of 8 p.m. Tuesday night in order to accommodate production vehicles. According to the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, crews were to dim street lights and use smoke and spark effects. Approximately 16 vehicles were also brought in as part of the scenery. Gotham, which debuted last fall on Fox, serves as a Batman prequel, depicting the rise of soon-to-be Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon prior to Batman’s arrival. The show also depicts the evolution of various villains such as Oswald Cobblepot (a.k.a. The Penguin). The show stars Ben McKenzie as then-Detective Gordon; Donal Logue as Gordon’s partner, Det. Harvey Bullock; Robin Lord Taylor as Cobblepot; David Mazouz as young Bruce Wayne, the wealthy orphan who would become Batman; and Jada Pinkett Smith as nightclub owner and mobster Maria Mercedes (a.k.a. Fish) Mooney. Ridgewood has found itself at the center of television production in recent months, as crews for shows such as Odyssey and Boardwalk Empire filmed scenes around the neighborhood. info@timesnewsweekly.com
