The second season of FOX's controversial TV series,
Gotham, is still a couple of months away but that doesn't stop more and more news from flooding in, especially when Comic Con 2015 is in town. Contributing to an already impressive villainous line-up including the Joker, Penguin, Tigress, Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange and a few others, Bruno Heller has just confirmed two more villains that we can expect to see in the upcoming season. These characters are none other than
the Flamingo and
Firefly.
But don't take my word for it. In a
recent interview with IGN, Heller was asked about what other villains we can expect to see in the season besides those who have already been confirmed. Heller stated the following:
"[Tigress and Theo Galavan] are our big bad villains of the year. I don't want to say to much about them because they need to walk on stage unheralded for maximum impact. We've got some great, fun villains coming up like Flamingo and, for the real fans, Firefly."
Firefly, as he appears in the first season of ARROW
Compared to other characters we've previously seen in the series, Firefly and the Flamingo are relatively unknown to those who don't the comics. Interesting enough, Firefly was actually featured in the first season of
Arrow as a killer of the week. Don't expect to see much more of him in the CW shows, as he was killed at the end of the
Arrow episode he was introduced in. In the comics, Firefly is a flame-thrower carrying pyromaniac based in Gotham City, known to cause problems for the Batman (as you can imagine).
As for the Flamingo, he is a mob enforcer that appears in Grant Morrison's
Batman & Robin series who eats the faces of his victims.
The stakes are higher than ever as GOTHAM explores the origin stories of some of the most ambitious and depraved Super Villains, including The Riddler, The Joker and Mr. Freeze, and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) uncovers more secrets from his father’s past, in the Season Two debut on Monday, Sept. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).
