Development for the third season of Gotham is in full effect, and thanks to a couple casting announcements, we now have an idea of where the season may be headed. When the series returns this fall, James Carpinello will be portraying Mario Falcone, the son of Carmine Falcone (a series regular in the first season of Gotham). Mario Falcone is a character that was created by Jeph Loeb and that appeared in the Dark Victory storyline in the comics. In the show, Falcone's debut may spell disaster for James Gordon and Leslie Tompkins' relationship.
The son of feared mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Doman), Carpinello’s Mario has rejected his family’s criminal ways and made a legitimate life for himself as a well-respected, Ivy League-educated ER doctor. He’s kind, honest and trustworthy, making him the black sheep of the Falcone clan. But — and here’s where the official character description gets interesting — his arrival in Gotham will create major waves in the personal life of Jim Gordon, who at the end of Season 2 left town to find and win back his fiancee Lee.
The third season of Gotham debuts on 19 September 2016. The first episodes of the season will be titled "Better To Reign In Hell…" and "Burn The Witch" respectively.
