Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But McKenzie said he's not sure if Gotham would work today. “I don't want to see old James Gordon,” he told a journalist (McKenzie turned 47 in September). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.

Still hoping for a Gotham movie?

In a recent interview, Sean Pertwee (who played Alfred Pennyworth) said he can't imagine a Gotham reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Robin Lord Taylor (who played Oswald Cobblepot) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Gotham movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Gotham film, Jessica Lucas stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
