Appears the characters are all in their early teens or young adults. But given these ages, their origin stories will be occurring at a much earlier age than most of the original comics did when they introduced them.
Catwoman was very much an adult when she was first introduced to the Batman universe in the 1940s. But her origin story has been rewritten a bunch of times through the years, as with many of popular characters. The actress playing Catwoman is named Camren Bicondova and is 14 years old. But in the preview, she's already taking on the persona of a thief and Catwoman.
But looking at the preview, lots of it is going to be be how these characters develop around Jim Gordon as he becomes a Gotham detective. It appears him and his mentor will be the center to the story.
Jada Pinkett Smith is in the series. She plays the woman with the red stripe in her hair. She's reported to be an up and coming crime boss / night club owner named "Fish Mooney". So again, there will probably be new sub-characters involved who have never been in the comics.
As for the villains, they are saying so far that the series will include origin story lines involving the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, and the Joker.
I love the concept and can't wait to watch it. Batman has always been my fav growing up and still is. This is an instant watch for me as long as it doesn't suck ass. Doesn't look like it will.
But that being said, Fox is famous for ruining and killing shows like this after only one season, so we'll see what happens.
