"Gotham" season 2 is making the headlines as Joker's comeback is being talked about. As per Screen Rant, numerous characters would be joining the new season and "The Rise of the Joker" would be the highlight. It was made clear however, that you would not be able to catch him in the early episodes which means than you'd have to stick around to be able to unfold his story.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, "Gotham" producer Bruno Heller, dished out details on what to expect from the new characters on season 2.
On Penguin: "We knew the season was the story of Penguin's rise to power, so that was always there, but how we got there was up in the air as we were writing it. So much of [the mythology] is laid out before you because of the future that everyone is aware of, but there are many things where, to keep a sense of life and things happening without the knowledge of history, we'd just tell the story and see how things unfold."
On Selena: "Selina is one of those interesting 'Gotham' characters in that she's ambiguous, It's still very much a story of a girl, not a woman, and teenagers try on different roles. She's still a protean human being. We're playing with that - she's not going to become one thing or the other definitively until she's a grown up."
Heller's statement regarding Joker however, is something that draw "Gotham" fans attention as he gave out a quick introduction on how Joker's character would be bought to life.
"We're going to find out how the hell Jerome, the proto-Joker we met earlier in this season, connects with the Joker as people known him. That's the big focus of the beginning of the second season. We're going to tell the story of how the Joker came to be, That's teaser enough, I think."
"Gotham" Season 2 premiere date is set for Sept. 21 on Fox.
