Ben McKenzie & 'Gotham' Cast Announce Exciting New Co-Star at NYCC Panel!

Ben McKenzie and his co-stars pose for an epic selfie before their Gotham panel at 2015 New York Comic Con held at The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Sunday (October 11) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actor was joined by his co-stars Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, Erin Richards, Michael Chiklis, James Frain, and Jessica Lucas at the event.

At the event, Robin, who portrays The Penguin on the show, announced, “Pee-Wee Herman is playing my dad.” You may remember, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman) played the role of the Penguin’s father in the 1992 movie Batman Returns.

Watch the sizzle reel for the show, which was also released during the panel!

FYI: Ben is wearing a Schott NYC leather jacket with an AllSaints tee and shoes.
