<p class="p1">After previewing its new series, the network brought out late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
<p class="p1">While he joked about ABC's fourth-place standing among networks at the end of the current season, <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">he also took a huge dig at Fox's upcoming Batman prequel series, "Gotham."</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">"This is a show for people who love everything about Batman except Batman," said Kimmel.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">The series, which has a 16-episode order from Fox, will follow a young Bruce Wayne after the death of his parents.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> </span>
<p class="p1">"You know the part of every Batman movie that's so boring, they skip over it? Now that's a series," Kimmel added. "We'll get to see the Dark Knight's testicles descend every week."<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">
</span>
<p class="p3">On Monday morning, during Fox's programming conference call, broadcast chairman Kevin Reilly predicted "Gotham" would be the biggest show of the season.<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">
</span>
<p class="p3">Reilly also made comments about ABC's struggles with Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">saying "Gotham" offers "actual franchise characters" as opposed to the other superhero show.</span>
