Jacob is a former military colonel who commands Gotham’s private security firm The Crows. He “has made it his mission to protect his city better than the Dark Knight ever could,” per the official character description. “But it’s only a matter of time before his unwavering disdain for vigilantes puts him at odds with Gotham’s new caped crusader…who also happens to be his own daughter (played by Ruby Rose).”
Additionally, the potential series has tapped Marcos Siega to replace David Nutter as director, with production slated to begin next month in Vancouver. Nutter — whose many credits include the pilots of The Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, Smallville and countless others — has stepped aside for personal reasons, but will remain an executive producer on the pilot.
