With a number of characters already confirmed to appear in the third season of Gotham, including Talon, Jerome Valeska, Mad Hatter, Solomon Grundy, Vickie Vale and a recast Poison Ivy to name a few, the series may be adding yet another classic supervillain to its ranks. The in-universe viral site, the Gotham Chronicle, has published an article focusing on the unveiling of Janus Cosmetics. In the comics, Janus Cosmetics played a prominent role in the history of Roman Sionis, otherwise known as Black Mask. As the origin story goes, Roman Sionis inherited the company from his father, Charles Sionis. As the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, it was bought by Bruce Wayne, who forced Roman Sionis to step down as the president of the company. This led to Roman Sionis' vendetta against Bruce Wayne.
Popular make-up company Janus Cosmetics is opening a brand new location in downtown Gotham. The new store is rumored to be their largest yet and will carry all of their most-sought after products. Janus invites you to transform into the new you at their ribbon-cutting ceremony later this summer.
Given the darkly comical nature of the show, the sadistic crimelord should feel right at home. It should be noted that a character named Richard Sionis aka The Mask has already appeared in the series, but whether or not he is related to Roman Sionis/Black Mask remains to be seen. The series returns with its third season this fall on Fox.

Welcome, I am Darkknight2149. I am primarily a fan of comic books and their various adaptations, as well as horror and other classic film franchises.
As far as the "DC vs. Marvel" rivalry goes, I'm really not biased when it comes to studios and publishers. Preferences are fine, but I've never understood the basing of opinions purely by the studio/publisher that makes it.
