On Gotham,
Chiklis will be playing Gotham Police
Captain, Nathaniel Barnes. Barnes arrives
on the scene “lands on the GCPD like
a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force. He is a law and
order zealot; unafraid of making enemies – on either side of the law. For
Gordon (Ben McKenzie), Barnes is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he
can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong
ally to Gordon… but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.“
