Canadian-Irish actor Donal Logue ("The Tao of Steve") is certainly no stew. The seasoned actor has appeared in films like, Blade and Ghost Rider, as well televison shows, Sons of Anarchy and Vikings. His next venture is Fox's latest comic book-based television show, Gotham. He'll play Detective Harvey Bullock, a seasoned cop that helps mentor Jim Gordon as he rises through the ranks of the Gotham police department. Before you get too excited, just remember this show is going to feature a very young Bruce Wayne, who is many years away from becoming The Dark Knight. Will people tune in to a Gotham-oriented show minus the Batman? Maybe Donal can convince you.
"It's interesting because people will say, 'What good is Gotham? A Gotham without Batman is stupid!,'" the actor acknowledged. "What's fascinating about Gotham is like, what happened in the 20 years before Batman was so effed up that it needed a vigilante to come and save it -- and those moral decisions have repercussions. Like, Gordon does stuff that seems to come from a good place, but you can do something and -- this kind of goes back to the statecraft argument -- say, in Vikings time, if I want to kill my enemy, I have to kill his kids. If I don't kill sons, they're coming after me and mine for the rest of our lives. So you've got to pull the root out. That's something that Gordon struggles with, being that brutal. Then later, if some bad s**t goes down, you can say, 'Well, that was your bighearted moment.' It's kind of mock politics, so it'll be interesting to see. I'm super fascinated to see where a lot of these things go. The question is, how did we get there? How did we get to the point where we had to have a Batman?"
