GOTHAM Bringing 'Firefly' To Season Two, But Casting Choice Reveals A Major Twist
Season two of Gotham looks set to put the focus on Bruce Wayne's future Rogues Gallery, and that's going to include introducing Firefly! However, the casting choice made for this pyromaniac villain reveals that they're taking the character in a very different direction...
TV Line reveals that Firefly is coming to season two of Gotham, but in an interesting twist, he is about to become a she. The site has confirmed that Michelle Veintimilla (Those Who Kill) has been cast in the role, and that the character will have a two episode arc in the fifth and sixth instalments of the Batman prequel's second season. This version of the character is named Bridgit Pike, a woman who is enslaved by her brothers (a notorious gang of arsonists) and forced into the family business. When she catches the eye of Selina Kyle, the young Catwoman and the soon-to-be-Firefly team up to put Bridgit’s firestarting skills to good use. But after a deadly encounter with the Pike Brothers, the meek Cinderella is transformed into a vengeful supervillain, hell bent on destroying those who have wronged her. That sounds like an interesting enough approach...what do you guys think? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on this Gotham news in the usual place.
