《哥谭》运作人布鲁诺·海勒打造，设定在1960年代的伦敦，托马斯·韦恩被形容为“一个年轻、面带稚气的亿万富翁，来自美国东海岸，自信、极度自律，这个年轻的贵族遇到了一个意想不到的搭档——潘尼沃斯”，潘尼沃斯则是“男孩子气的英俊、乐天、迷人、聪明、真诚、喜怒形于色，你不会想到他曾是特种部队的杀手”。 英国歌手、演员Paloma Faith饰演阿福的对手Bet Sykes——一个精力十足、有虐待倾向、牙尖嘴利的反派； 《罗马》演员Polly Walker饰演Bet的姐姐Peggy Sykes，是“兰开夏最为繁忙和成功的女性施虐者(SM里那种)”，同时她也是一家精神病里通情达理的家长，很忠诚，有手段，自己有一套奇怪但严密的道德准则； 杰森·弗莱明(《两杆大烟枪》)饰演坏人Lord Harwood。
To the streets, “Raq” Thomas is cold, hard and fierce — a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. She is tough, resolute, ruthless, but Raq still is capable of love. Great love. The sole recipient of that affection is her son, Kanan; he is everything to her. As much as she cares for him, though, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers. She is the sun, and everyone else in her universe exists in her orbit.
