Fox’s upcoming Batman origin story “Gotham” has cast its Penguin, faithful Wayne family butler Alfred, and the boss and fiancee of Det. James Gordon.
“Another Earth” actor Robin Lord Taylor (pictured) will play Oswald Cobblepot — perhaps better known to comic-book fans as The Penguin. With the brains of a chess grandmaster and the morals of a jackal, Oswald Cobblepot is a low-level psychopath who hides his sadistic lust for power behind an exquisitely polite demeanor.

Sean Pertwee (“Alan Partridge”), meanwhile, will play Alfred Pennyworth, a tough-as-nails ex-marine from East London who has loyally served Thomas and Martha Wayne.
