A New Villain Comes To GOTHAM to "Kick Some Ice"

Gotham's villain roster increases. According to executive producer Danny Cannon, winter is coming to Gotham City. (Insert Game of Thrones meme here.)

And we got another one. According to executive producer Danny Cannon, classic Batman villain Mr. Freeze is also set to appear on Gotham, the new Fox series set in the Batman mythos. As is standard for this show, the origins of the Freeze-meister will be explored. And, apparently, they'll be inspired by true events.

"Without giving too much away - because I'm not allowed to - the great thing about working on a CSI procedural show for so long was we worked with so many experts - specialists in each field. There's a lot of things I picked up along the way.

My first conversation with [showrunner] Bruce Heller about the villains in this show is always that they need to be very credible and relatable, and the science behind them needs to be real.

So, I had a couple of stories that I'd held onto - real, true stories - and one of them just related to Mr. Freeze. I know a real way to create an origin story."

Personally, I really want to see a scientific explanation for Freeze's origins.

I can't wait for this show. I don't see why people are always whining about it. Anyways I hope they portray him well because that Batman and Robin Mr. Freeze just ruined him

There's SNOW way I'm watching this show now. I just think they should CHILL with the cameos and easter eggs. It'll have to be really COOL to break the ICE with me.

I'm still on the fence about this show but I really hope they actually flesh out Nora's backstory before she was frozen and whatnot. Its a great opportunity for them to fully explore Mr. Freeze and his wife.

I dont see the problem w bringing in Characters like Freeze, Penguin or maybe even Hugo Strange. They were all much older than Bruce anyway. Im kind of upset that Ras is being used in Arrow. It would have been more.interesting to see him in Gotham explaining why.the city.is becoming so corrupt.

good god. At what point do they just time shift forward and make a Batman show ? They practically have EVERY major villain in this show but the guy who stops them is 9 yrs old ? So Gotham is just over run with crazy super powered criminals for at least 10 years before Bruce becomes The Batman ?

Yeah call me a hater but the show seemed more appealing when it was just mob bosses and Jim Gordon. Now it feels like Amazing Spider-Man 2.

I have a brilliant idea about how they should handle Riddler and Freeze in this show, BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
