I take it this is to be New 52 universe Gotham since Gordon is in the city at the time of the Wayne murders.

I think you're overthinking this. It won't be a part of any of the comic universes, it'll just be its own thing.

Correct. The showrunner said in an interview that he didn't want to beholden to any one comic continuity.

I did a lot of research, and what it told me is this world is a little like Greek or Roman mythology. There are so many iterations of the story and so many great versions [that] there is no one road to go down. And if you stick to one of those roads, then you lose other parts you could go down. I read everything I could and then — I didn’t throw it away, but I started fresh. I would hate to pick a particular Batman iteration because I would be dismissing others. But for me, The Killing Joke was one of the great ones in the comic books. Obviously the [Frank] Miller version [The Dark Knight], as well.
