GOTHAM Season 2 Synopsis Teases 'The Joker' & 'Mr. Freeze'; Premiere Date Revealed

We already know when fellow DC Comics shows Arrow and The Flash are returning, now FOX have revealed that Gotham will be back on our screens even sooner. The 'Batman' prequel series will start its sophomore season on Monday, September 21 at 8:00 p.m. ET. This should come as no surprise, having performed very well in the ratings from the same timeslot last year.

Along with the premiere date, FOX also released a short synopsis for the second season, teasing several of the Caped Crusader's famous enemies. Easily the most interesting name present is 'Mr. Freeze' who, while teased by the producers, is yet to make his debut on the show. Cameron Monaghan's 'Jerome Valeska' also looks set to return as the future Clown Prince Of Crime, something that will please fans of his short but memorable appearance on the show.

“The stakes are higher than ever as Gotham explores the origin stories of some of the most ambitious and depraved Super Villains, including The Riddler, The Joker and Mr. Freeze, and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) uncovers more secrets from his father’s past, in the Season Two debut on Monday, Sept. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).”



Perhaps the most interesting part of this news is that from late-October, Gotham will air directly opposite another DC Comics property in CBS' Supergirl. Given that both are genre shows and will likely appeal to similar audiences,, the competition could potentially hurt both in the ratings. Are you looking forward to Gotham's return? Which of Batman's other rogues would you like to see appear? Drop us your thoughts in the comments below!

Without Batman there is no Joker. Also, Joker's best feature is that you don't know for certain what his origin story is. Bruno Heller (who sounds like a Batman villain is pursuing this for a ratings grab. Such crap.

Batman's entire rogues gallery is going to be lined up before Bruce reaches the age of 12.

Going against the Colts vs. Jets on MNF. Who the [frick] thinks it's a good idea to keep giving the Jets nationally televised games?

@fettastic That's not true. It's been brought up several times in the comics that since he whipped that mask on, he's created these people. There's even an episode of TAS in which all of his villains put him on trial for turning them into what they are cause he is Batman.

I should also mention I hate this show. iZombie, Flash and even Arrow are all better alternatives.

@RobinHood I've been trying so hard to imitate the whole scene, Cameron is [frick]ing awesome.

Also, the show is called GOTHAM for a reason.

@fettastic I'm going based on what we've seen. The preacher's daughter wouldn't be so slutty and free-spirited if she hadn't lived under such a strict household. Joker wouldn't set Arkham inmates free for no reason other than to give Bats a bad day, etc. Without an instigator, there's no war. Without women, men would be sane. Without a negative, there'd be no magnet, etc.

Pssh...the Batman Porn Parody was better than any CBM. I actually came multiple times during it. I only came once during The Dark Knight. That was it. THAT WAS IT.

How you gonna have Batman's rogues already established before he's established?!?!? And Mr. Freeze's origin is so perfect in BTAS....hope they don't [frick] it up
JamesMann

@TheGambitFreak

Except in that same BTAS episode they proved that the villains would have still turned out the way they were even without Batman.

I'm psyched for Gotham, but a little disappointed that its going head to head with Supergirl. I want both shows to be successful, but Supergirl has a steeper hill to climb than Gotham has right now.

That said, I always DVR'd all the DCTV shows. Some I watched love, & some I watched later. I guess it's a matter of which I'll watch first between the two.

They are already having Edward Nygma become The Riddler...

They should at least wait for season 3 to do that... Way too soon.

I swear, everything is being rushed on this show. I wish we got a Bruce Wayne TV show instead of this.
