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.

The episode of Gotham before The Fall Finale was packed with blood, sweat and fears as mad monks began to “cleanse” Gotham City.

The Rise of the Villains reached a brutal peak and sets the stage for a thrilling showdown.

The big mystery of Gotham Season Two is the endgame of Theo Galavan. Early clues made fans suspect the Galavans were from the Court of Owls but as the series continued we saw the arrival of mad monks, a bloody crusade and revenge decades in the scheming.

Plus, producers have thrilling fun with name dropping a little known Batman character that builds to a payoff for Bruce…but it doesn’t last as the big bad corners him.

Scarification this week’s went deep into the history and mythology of the Wayne Family and Gotham City. It left no doubt who the Galavans really yet hinted at the terrifying evil coming. What’s coming is tied to another ancient society connected to the man who replaced Bruce Wayne as Batman! Continue reading New GOTHAM Villain Revealed

The Rise of the Villains continues on Gotham.

The surge of mad energy from Cameron Monaghan as Jerome Valeska (aka he who might have been the Joker) is over – sigh – but the evil is far from over.

Robin Lord Taylor is back front and center as the Penguin but it’s Theo Galavan (James Frain) still oozing with a sinister slow burn as he continues his long term plot.

Oswald Cobblepot isn’t safe from Galavan. The Penguin is perched atop the underworld but now he’s been tamed by a more dangerous bird of prey.

Before we continue talking about this week’s episode’s big moments and what they could mean here’s a… Continue reading GOTHAM After “The Last Laugh”

The Rise of the Villains began on Gotham Season Two with Penguin as the underworld King but are Owls flocking to the Batman prequel series?

The Court of Owls is a shadowy organization co-created by Batman Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo which kicked off their fan-favorite New 52 run.

James Frain and Jessica Lucas plays the Galavans, a brother/sister villain team which could have deep ties into Gotham City’s history. The  introduction of the siblings made fans suspect the Owls might hold court on the series.

In a new ComicBook.com interview Executive Producer/Showrunner Bruno Heller confirmed The Court of Owls will be coming to the Fox series: Continue reading THE COURT OF OWLS on GOTHAM
