Actor
Raymond J. Barry (
The 100,
Ray Donovan) has joined the cast of the hit Batman prequel,
Gotham, in a recurring role. The show, known for its noir elements and comic book aesthetic, will apparently be introducing an element of mysticism into its lore, as Barry has been tapped to play a temple shaman who is being described by
Deadline as
"a mysterious figure who enters Bruce Wayne's life with the stated intention of unlocking the potential of his own mind." While the temple shaman will claim to save Gotham City by helping Bruce become
Batman the man he is meant to be, he may have more villainous intentions. Right now, further details on the role are being kept scarce.
Gotham: Mad City will return with brand new episodes on 16 January 2017.
