![]() (It’s the same actor after all) Let’s just hope they do something interesting with this whole ‘Prince and Pauper’ situation. ![]() And now his scars are gone, his hair is cut, and he looks exactly like Bruce Wayne. LAST WORDS: When the show returns in April we’ll see the rise of The Riddler. Make it count for something! STAY TUNED!!!! Or if you do keep putting him in peril, at least have him suffer some physical trauma or emotional angst that will spur him on to become the dark knight he’s destined to be. So note to the Gotham producers: Please stop having raving maniacs kidnap Bruce, because we know the outcome. Bruce Wayne grows up and becomes Batman, so any time Bruce faces a life-or-death situation, you know he’s not going to die. Now the problem with prequels is that you always know who lives and who dies, so any drama becomes less dramatic. How embarrassing! Good thing the prison medics are finally gonna stitch that thing back on good and proper. And Jim Gordon arrives just in time to strike the final blow hitting Jerome so hard his face falls off again. Bruce wins the tussle, thanks to Alfred’s training. ![]() Jerome and Bruce duke it out in a hall of mirrors. And as you may have guessed, Bruce manages to escape. Anyway, Jerome takes Bruce to a carnival full of his mad followers, for a more public execution. And that’s a bummer because they almost died getting that thing. And before Jerome leaves with Bruce, he smashes the crystal owl that Bruce and company stole from the Court Of Owls. Everybody seems to be able to waltz in whenever they want. Honestly, that place needs a new security system. So Jerome and his thugs stop by Wayne Manor and kidnap Bruce. The last thing he seems to remember is that he wants to kill Bruce Wayne. But that’s just a guess, because it’s all hypotheticals until April.īut meanwhile, Jerome’s back and ready to finish some unfinished business. Maybe Oswald’s words of love did soften Nygma’s heart, and now the duo is going after Barbara, Butch, and Tabitha. And Riddle me this Bat-fans, what if The Penguins death-dive is a total fake out? Could Nygma, The Riddler, be pulling a double-cross? A gun that fires blanks and a bag of fake blood, under Penguins jacket, could do the trick. So we’ll have to wait and see if Mayor Cobblepot’s death is really his swan song, or just a painful transition. And little Ivy took a dive in the bay and came back as big sexy Ivy. And don’t forget Fish Mooney, she was shot and plopped into the bay, and now she’s back and has super powers. Where he sinks, bleeding, into his watery grave… Wait! Or does he? This certainly looks like the Penguin’s end, but he lived through the same scenario once before, in season one. On the Gotham pier, Ed shoots The Penguin in the gut, lets him bleed out for a few moments, and then pushes him into the bay. This episode’s big twist is Oswald Cobblepot’s death. And long story short, after some additional shenanigans, Ed Nygma kills The Penguin. The Penguin’s profession of love doesn’t move Ed. But now that The Penguin’s feelings are known, and he’s wearing his heart is on his sleeve, he hopes that Nygma’s rage will abate. Penguin killed Isabella out of jealousy, because he is also in love with Ed Nygma, though he’s never confessed it. Ed knows that The Penguin had Isabella, the new love of his life, killed. He’s been behind all the bad things that have happened to Penguin lately. Love hurts! At least Ed finally tells Penguin the truth. ![]() But when he finds Ed, Penguin’s thuggish bodyguards are killed, and the Mayor finds himself tied to Isabella’s mangled car, about to be doused by acid. Mayor Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, rushes to Ed Nygma’s rescue, unaware that he’s being set-up. That’s why he’s walking into a trap, orchestrated by Barbara, Tabitha, and Butch. Or at least that’s what The Penguin believes. And now, in the shadows, Jerome’s disciples are running amuck and all sorts of badness is going on. Because we won’t get another new episode until April… Anyway, Jerome blew up a power plant last episode, creating chaos and a citywide blackout. Didn’t the show just come back from a Winter/Christmas break? Yes it did! So I guess the jokes on us viewers. ![]() This episode is the big finale before the show’s winter hiatus, so it’s a doozy. And Jerome’s also young, so he could theoretically be more formidable in about ten years when Bruce Wayne is Batman. He’s crazy enough with his discolored stapled-on face. If Jerome isn’t The Joker, he ought to be. ![]()
