Gotham premieres in just a few weeks, and FOX has been priming audiences for its Batman-themed crime series with various trailers, clips, and behind-the-scenes featurettes over the last month. The latest sneak peek at the series is the most comprehensive thus far, and offers quite a bit of new footage that appears to extend far beyond the pilot episode.

Gotham: The Legend Reborn is a 19-minute special produced by FOX that features interviews with both the cast and creative team for the series, as well as some new scenes featuring key players on both sides of law and order in Gotham. The special is broken up into four video segments, with the first focusing on the premise of the series and the time period in DC Comics mythology when it’s set. The second segment, titled “A City On The Edge,” focuses on Gotham itself and the precipice the city currently rests on in the battle between crime and justice.

A third segment, “Behind the Shadows,” focuses on the criminals and other less-than-heroic characters that are shaping Gotham into a city in need of a vigilante. This segment features some new footage of all the major villains featured in the series, as well as the indication that an origin for Joker may in the works during the series, too.

The final segment, “Heroes & Villains,” focuses on the dynamic between Detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the Gotham Police Department and the rogues gallery that’s turning the city into a criminals’ paradise.

You can watch all four segments below, and see the premiere episode of Gotham when it airs September 22 on FOX.

Amazon Prime Video is steadily rolling out new content, meaning anime fans have plenty to enjoy. The addition of Crunchyroll as an optional premium channel bolsters its anime catalog, giving users access to both platforms' content in one streamlined experience.

The pricing is the same if subscribing to both individually, but this change makes anime more accessible. Still, the amount of content can feel intimidating to newcomers. Thankfully, this monthly-updated guide highlights some of the best anime on Amazon Prime Video for you. That includes the service's native offerings, plus the content available through the premium Crunchyroll channel.

10 best film noirs of all time, ranked
Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce holding a gun with a mirror behind her.

Film noir is among the most instantly recognizable genres in cinematic history. Defined as a heavily stylized take on a classic crime story, film noir is characterized by its striking black-and-white cinematography and complex, morally ambiguous stories about troubled men, whether they be detectives, investigators, boxers, or everyday citizens. At its core, film noir is about how easy it is to fall victim to tragic circumstances.

The genre enjoyed its height during the 1940s and '50s. Since then, film noir has fallen out of fashion, and while modern neo-noir movies exploring similar themes are common, they aren't anywhere near as influential as they once were. Still, at its height, film noir produced some of the all-time best classics ever seen in American cinema. From classic tales of revenge and power to tragic melodramas about fallen heroes, these are the best film noirs.
