Gotham Season 3 Villains and New Characters

Gotham executive producer John Stephens spoke to Comic Book Resources about which villains we'll see make appearances. He specifically mentions The Mad Hatter, the Tweedle Brothers, Talon (following up on the Court of Owls stuff from this season), and even Solomon Grundy! There will probably be more beyond that, too.

TV Line has more specifics on those potential villains, including one who “learns people’s secrets and manipulates them to do his bidding” (Mad Hatter), and a mysterious lady who "“who uses her sexuality to entrap men.”

Gotham has cast a new Poison Ivy, and it's Maggie Geha (Ted 2) replacing Claire Foley in the role. But don't worry, the show has a typically Gotham-logic explanation for why the young actress has been replaced with an older one.

According to Variety:

"Following an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, Ivy Pepper finds herself reborn, and one step closer to the DC villain she is destined to become: Poison Ivy. Now a 19-year-old woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms, she sets her sights on Bruce Wayne."

This makes about as much sense as anything this show ever does.

TV Line reports that Once Upon a Time's Jamie Chung has been cast as Valerie Vale, "a crackerjack reporter dead set on uncovering the truth behind Indian Hill. Confident and dogged, she will do anything to get the scoop, and soon sets her sights on Gordon, who she believes is the key lead in her story."

So it's Valerie Vale, not Vicki? At least for now. We'll see how this one turns out.

Carmine Falcone isn't around much anymore, but the Falcone crime family bloodline will live on in the form of young Mario Falcone. James Carpinello will play Mario Falcone.

TV Line describes Mario as someone who 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." In other words, he's gonna try and bust up the romance between Jim and Dr. Thompkins.

The Mad Hatter has been cast for Gotham season 3. Walking Dead alum Benedict Samuel will play the classic Batman villain, according to TV Line. Mad Hatter, also known as Dr. Jervis Tetch, was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger for Batman #49. FOX describes the character as a brilliant hypnotist on the edge of madness who is searching for his younger sister, Alice, who went missing in Gotham years ago.

We'll update this post with more information as it becomes available.
