The Wrath of the Villains is coming then Gotham returns for a second half of season two.

Producers confirmed Azrael is coming and are giving hints about how the warrior of vengeance will be portrayed on the before Batman prequel series.

In the Fall finale, the Order of St. Dumas failed in their plot to seize Gotham City and destroy the last surviving Wayne. The Order’s Theo Galavan died.

Azrael is a title passed down in the brotherhood. This “Angel of Death” enforces The Order’s agenda and executes its vengeance.

In the comics, an adult Batman faced Azrael (Jean Paul Valley) who became an independent anti-crime crusader and even was Batman.

How will the Azrael be different from his comic book counterpart? Continue reading WRATH of AZRAEL on GOTHAM

We knew it was coming: Bruce Wayne will become the Batman again in 2016.

This week we saw a huge moment on Bruce’s journey and the perhaps fate of one of his greatest enemies in Batman #47.
