And 3 nighttime pics of Arkham from http://batman-news.com/:

Oh awesome, didn't know they're filming this in NYC. Chicago worked in the Nolan trilogy, but NYC is pretty definitively Gotham's real life counterpart. It's also expensive to film there I imagine, so I didn't expect it.

If they're filming, I'd like to go visit the set.

It looks like they just filmed the Arkham stuff last night:
August 7th filming - Gotham is filming at Bayley Seton Hospital, 75 Vanderbilt Ave, Staten Island.

On Location Vacations seems pretty up to date with filming locations. If you go, please post some pics!

Here's some more on Gotham's take on Arkham from ComicBookMovie:
Bruno Heller was recently quoted as saying, "Hugo Strange is going to pop up because we're going to start dealing with how Arkham was created and why Arkham was created in the way that it was so, yeah, absolutely. It's a Season One thing because in our telling of it the way Arkham was created and the why and how is one of the causes of the particular criminal climate in Gotham that allowed Batman to happen. The revolving door of Arkham is both a brilliant narrative device because it allows you to -- you don't have to kill people off, you can just put them in cold storage"

Nice. There are some of the proto-villains that kind of have me shaking my head, but bringing in the likes of Hugo Strange makes a lot of sense to me.

Thanks for the link.

They post those on the day of it seems, so I'll just have to hope I'm in the city for the right days.

These pics look great. Glad they are incorporating Arkham.

Here's a thumbnail gallery of very big, high resolution Gotham promo shots and a lot of pics from a recent photo shoot. Big like 5651x3768.

Thanks for this.

[EdwardNigma]

Thanks for this.

It is obvious watching these they really put a lot of time and effort into the series.

Still not seeing any Harley Quinn in this show
You would think she would have been one of the first pseudo villains cast with her connection to Arkham
Not really feeling anything besides the cop drama with Gordon and Bullock.
I want this show to be good but it seems like its shaping up as another almost human for Fox and it doesn't even have a Batman appearance to fall back on as it actually becomes good.
shame

[Kid A]

Hopefully Harley Quinn isn't anywhere near this show.

[EdwardNigma]

Hopefully Harley Quinn isn't anywhere near this show.

Agreed......

[Flash Gordon]

Wow I didn't know this was filming in the city! I'll have to check it out.

[Flash Gordon]

Yeah though, no way will this even be comparable to THE WIRE. That's one of the greatest television dramas ever made, if not the number 1.

I really liked SOUTHLAND when it was on, so I'm sure the dude playing Gordon won't be too bad. This is FOX, so I'm a little more forgiving of crappy writing/acting. I usually steer clear of network TV with the exception of stuff like PARKS AND REC, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE.
