Bruce Wayne is going to be challenging role, even in the reliable hands of David Mazouz. At a young age, he has already established himself as a very talented actor after starring alongside Kiefer Sutherland in Touch as his son. Fans have never truly seen a young, traumatised and devastated Bruce Wayne deal with his parents murders in film or television before. Nolan touched on the aftermath briefly but this show has a real chance to do something unique. Its a different take on the familiar story of Bruces journey to the cowl, with Gordon the one who guides him. Gordon appears in the trailer consoling Bruce and promising he will arrest the man who murdered his parents. A bond develops between the two as Gordon visits Bruce later, where the boy says hes learning to conquer fear. Gordon replies: Fear doesnt need conquering, it tells you where the edge is. This is something Bruce later puts to practice in the trailer. The ability to inflict fear into criminals is one of Batmans greatest strengths. When the Bat Signal shines in the sky, criminals run scared and it is such an important part of Batmans legend. However dark and scary the world might be right now, Gordon says to Bruce. There will be light. Little did he know, he is talking to that light. Gordon may not realise it now, but as he looks into the eyes of Bruce Wayne hes looking into the eyes of Gothams future. The boy will don a costume that will scare criminals within an inch of their lives. He is mentoring a boy who will later become a great man, friend and ally.
