Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Masters of Sex star Nicholas D’Agosto has been cast as one of the characters from the Batman mythology who makes perfect sense turning up in prequel series Gotham, future District Attorney Harvey Dent.

At this stage, Dent is described as “handsome, warm and engaging”, a bright, charming, idealistic Assistant District Attorney whose sole mission is to eradicate the crime and corruption that has poisoned Gotham. Although he one day will serve as the white knight Gotham needs so badly as a DA, Dent also gives us a fleeting glimpse of the hideous villain he will become: Two-Face.

D’Agosto will be a guest star in the first season, which is focusing on the Penguin, but if the show is picked up, there is a series regular option on him.

Gotham starts in the UK on Monday 13 October on Channel 5. Read our review of the first episode here.
