Executive producer Bruno Heller is spilling details about the second half of "Gotham" and he's teasing more Riddler and Joker's upcoming appearance. It's been said that the Joker would be introduced and Heller told TV Guide that fans will "be waiting a bit longer."
"But this is America - nobody wants to wait," he continued. "So, we will scratch the surface of that story, yes. But just scratch it - a little tap on the door."
He also teased Edward Nygma eventually becoming the Riddler and said that viewers will see his "journey begin in the second half of the season."
"Penguin [Robin Lord Taylor] was born a sociopath and was always going down this path one way or another," Heller said. "Nygma is someone who becomes the villain."
Chelsea Spack, who plays Nygma's love interest Kristen, clarified telling TV Guide that her relationship with the forensic scientist is much more complicated than people realize.
"What motivates people to do things is oftentimes love," she said. "He is slowly starting to break through her defenses, but we take two steps forward and then one step back. It's not smooth sailing for Edward Nygma. It's complicated for her to have somebody's feelings in her hand. It's not as simple as rejecting somebody and having a clean conscience because she's starting to realize how deeply he cares."
Fox also released an extended spoiler for the next four episodes of "Gotham."
The fearsome secret origin of iconic Super-Villain The Scarecrow is revealed on Feb. 2 and Feb. 9, when Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue) track down a killer who murders in the name of science. On Feb. 16, Gotham City turns into a three-ring circus when a clown attack traps Gordon and Dr. Thompkins (guest star Morena Baccarin) under the Big Top, and Gordon meets John Grayson (guest star Rob Gorrie), the father of the future Robin. Finally, on the Feb. 23, Gordon and Bullock track down the Red Hood Gang, as Selina (Camren Bicondova) plays a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with Ivy (guest star Clare Foley).
