If you’ve seen any of the previoustrailersfromSeason 2ofGotham, debuting Monday, September 21 at 8 PM ET on Fox, you have noticed that this season has been dubbed “Rise of the Villains.” Today,Foxhas released a new trailer which shows some of the villains who will rise above the GCPD, including Penguin (Robin Taylor), Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) and Catwoman (Camren Bicondova). This trailer shows all of these villains immortalized in a bronze statue, and while we don’t see any new footage, their dialogue gives us some clues into the upcoming season.
Penguin (Robin Taylor) has taken over as the King of Gotham and after a shakeup at the GCPD, Detective James Gordon’s (Ben McKenzie) moral compass wavers, as he seeks help from Penguin. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) continues to explore the secrets from his father’s office, whileGothamnewcomers Theo Galavan and his sister, Tabitha, make friends with some unlikely allies, a group of dangerous inmates from Arkham in the all-newDamned If You Do. We saw Theo and Tabitha meet these inmates, includingThe Joker, in a new clip released last week.
You may recall that earlyset photosshowed The Joker outside of the Arkham walls, pulling off what appeared to be some sort of heist. Perhaps this is the first mission Theo Galivan entrusts The Joker and the rest of these Arkham inmates with, but we’ll have to wait until theSeason 2premiere debuts next week to find out for sure. Regardless of their mission, if Theo and Tabitha can just pick and choose what inmates they want to liberate from Arkham, they will most certainly be powerful adversaries for Gordon and the rest of the GCPD.
