New GOTHAM Character Images; Episode Three's Villain Finally Revealed
In what may be a sign of things to come for Gotham, the villain has been revealed for the third episode of the upcoming series and it's a fairly obscure DC Comics character who seemingly shares only a name with his comic book counterpart. Who are we talking about? Find out here...
The above images comes courtesy of Spoiler TV and was scanned from the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. Now, that villain news. Here's an excerpt from the magazine's report on Gotham which offers up details on both the second (which we already know will be called "Selina Kyle") and third episodes of the Fox series. "The second episode, for example, takes on a child-snatching ring that targets street kids for overseas export, and the third introduces the Balloon Man, a killer who ties his victims to hundreds of balloons and sets them aloft. Says McKenzie, "The Crime is big and weird and eccentric and often has a lot of dark humour in it." The Balloon Man? I've done a bit of digging, and all I can find is a pretty obscure Metal Men villain who has pretty much no resemblence to this guy from what I can tell. Any theories?
