Rise of the Villains reached a mid-season finale on Gotham.

It’s been a bloody, action-packed first half of the season with the death and birth of the Joker legend, the arrival of mad monks from Batman mythology and Barbara‘s deadly wedding ceremony gone wrong. They were all pieces of a revenge plot that goes back to a war among Gotham City’s first families.

In Worse Than a Crime the villains have risen and have the upper hand with our heroes on the run or waiting to be killed. Young Bruce Wayne was being held and waiting to be served on the sacrificial altar, Alfred was hurt and on the run after a near fatal encounter with Galavan’s psychotic sister and James Gordon turned to unlikely allies to save the Son of Gotham as Galavan‘s endgame raced to a climax with huge hints as new villains rising.

Producers of Gotham are doubling down on madness with season two.

Fans are guessing if Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) is the future Joker but there’s a slow burn with Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) that makes us suspect she’s the Clown Prince of Crime’s beloved.

Is Jim Gordon’s ex-fiancee turned psychopathic killer becoming Gotham‘s take on Harley Quinn?

Jada Pinkett Smith revealed she’s only signed on to Gotham for one year and will not be returning.

Does this have to mean the end of Fish Mooney?

The mobster could join the elite sorority of comic book characters that didn’t originate in comics. We asked if Fish could be the next Harley Quinn? Upon more comics research there’s even more reason to have this ruthless femme fatale join the Batman family of comics. One character on Gotham made the leap from animated series to comics and now television.

Here are four female characters who didn’t make their debut in comics: Continue reading FATE of FISH MOONEY & COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS From TV

Jada Pinkett Smith strikes like a tiger shark on Gotham as Fish Mooney. Could the mobster muscle her way into Batman comics?

Gotham reveals the origin stories of the Dark Knight’s greatest allies (Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Renee Montoya, Sarah Essen) and enemies. The future Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy and Catwoman have been seen so far.

Producers created Fish Mooney just for the series. Jada Pinkett Smith brings the the sexy, ruthless and vicious mob boss to evil life. Fish runs the theater district under Carmine Falcone and made Oswald Cobblepot her slave until she had him “retired.” Smith and Robin Lord Taylor fittingly “stole the show” as the criminal mistress and misfit in the premiere episode. Continue reading Could FISH MOONEY Be the Next HARLEY QUINN?
