“Gotham” creator Bruno Heller and stars Ben McKenzie and Robin Lord Taylor discussed season two, the Joker and more in an interview with IGN. The Joker has long been teased for the show and, following Cameron Monaghan’s latest Instagram clue, Heller weighed in on how the Joker will impact the second season.
“There’s definitely some curve balls; life is all about curve balls, and this show is about that,” Heller explained. “Cameron is coming back. He’s playing Jerome. The story we’re telling is absolutely the story of how the Joker came to be. More than that, I can’t tell you, because I’ve not yet formulated a clever J.J. Abrams type of way of telling you the truth but avoiding the spoiler.”
“Without getting into any of that, what I think it does — given that we’ve now read the first four scripts [of season two] and Jerome is definitely featured — I think for fans of Joker… are going to be very happy,” McKenzie added.
“It’s a storyline that plays out over the whole season. By the end of the season, all Joker fans will go, ‘Ahhh! What a brilliant, brilliant idea!'”Heller joked.
