Fish Mooney is a breakout Gotham character created wholly for the new series with no ties to Batman comics.
The ruthless mobster played by Jada Pinkett Smith nearly lost her life after losing her attempt to take over the Gotham City underworld.
Fish is exiled from Gotham but Pinkett Smith says don’t count her out yet and to expect a different side of the deadly crime boss.
“I think you’re going to see a lot more color from Fish in the next episodes to come. I think you’re going to see a lot more vulnerability. I think you’re going to see a lot more of a human side of Fish Mooney,” the actress told Comic Book Resources.
“I see Fish Mooney as kind of an extreme version of a woman. A woman who wears many faces. A woman who is strong, but yet afraid. I would say that the Fish Mooney character has, especially in these coming episodes, been really fun and I love how smart and perceptive that she is. She just decided to use her skills — you know, she’s a criminal. She decided to be a criminal instead of a doctor. But I really love her, and I love what’s she becoming too. I think in the next few episodes, and definitely towards the end, you’re going to see a whole different Fish, and a woman that definitely has some heart. You’ve seen the ruthless, now you’re going to see some heart.”
We predict Fish could follow in the infamous tracks of Harley Quinn and make the leap from television to comics. Will Fish survive season one? Watch Mondays on Fox.
