The fourth season of Gotham will be loose interpretations of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s The Long Halloween in the first half of the season, and the second half of the season will take inspiration from Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Batman: Year One, according to the Gotham panel at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con.
The Orville comes from the mind of Executive Producer and star Seth MacFarlane. It takes place 400 years in the future and follows the adventures of The U.S.S. Orville, a new exploratory spaceship. Its crew will face the wonders and dangers of space all the while dealing with the problems of everyday life.
