The relationship between Kate Kane and her father is a very unique one and one that stands out in comics. What level Kate's father would play on the show has now been discovered. Deadline.com is reporting that Dougray Scott has been cast for the part which is now described as a male lead role! In addition, David Nutter was going to be the director for the pilot but he has stepped aside now so that Marcos Siega can help pilot in the director's chair as well as join the show as an executive producer. Jacob Kane is described as:
A former military colonel with a chip on his shoulder for Batman, Jacob Kane now commands Gotham’s private security firm The Crows, and has made it his mission to protect his city better than the Dark Knight ever could. 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.
