The trailer for Gotham looks good. A prequel series linked to a Nolan inspired Batman cinematic universe makes a lot of sense. I also think creators have learned something from the success of the CW's Arrow. A rich mythology and gritty realism that keep the central concept in the forefront of the action is what makes that adaptation of the Green Arrow work. The producers of Gotham have the same look in mind. Utilizing fandom's knowledge of the mythology to create call outs that will get them excited. Yet, re-imagining the beginning of the comic book adventures frees the producers from falling into a narrative too insular for the common audience. I'm looking forward to the results.
