After being announced that the Red Hood gang will be introduced in episode 17, one can only ponder upon the thought of Joker being introduced, finally! Bruno Heller, executive producer of Gotham talked with TVGuide on the possibility.
We’ve said you’re going to be waiting a bit longer for it, but this is America — nobody wants to wait, so, we will scratch the surface of that story, yes. But just scratch it — a little tap on the door.
Thus far alongside Penguin, Gotham has given us a multitude of Batman villains from The Riddler who they are currently building up, a young Poison Ivy, Victor Zsasz, Dr.Crane and more. We’ll soon see the parents of Nightwing and Gordon’s girlfriend is already pregnant, although it may not be Batgirl, yet. Gotham has done a marvelous job with the future notorious crime lords of Gotham, hopefully the Joker’s origins aren’t rushed and screwed.
