In the comics, Thomkins has a long-standing relationship with the Wayne family, and becomes a friend and adviser to Bruce. Morena Baccarin tells EW how this small-screen take on the character will be different. “I’m a physician. I’m working at Arkham, but we’re not sticking too close to the original mythology,” the Homeland star reveals. “We are having her team up with Jim Gordon instead of the Wayne family and Bruce. Eventually, who knows—it could go in that direction, but it hasn’t yet. She gets out [of Arkham] which is really fun and her and Jim kind of pair up and have this really great relationship. I think it’s important. Arkham is a really kind of iconic and dark and crazy world but I don’t think you want to spend too much time in there.” More at the link below.
