Sounds Like SPOILER Is Coming To GOTHAM - Is An ARROW Crossover Possible?
Of course it's unlikely given the different networks, but if you watched Gotham last night you'll no doubt have picked up on the mention of a certain DC Comics character who's also popped up on the CW's Arrow. Click on for more..
In last night's second episode of Gotham, it's made pretty clear that The Dollmaker is the villain behind the kidnapping of various homeless children in the city. Although the character doesn't actually appear, it's surely only a matter of time before he makes his presence felt in future episodes. Fans of the CW's Arrow will be aware that the Dollmaker also showed up on that show in a second season episode, and was played by Michael Eklund. Could they be the same character?
Well, though DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. are behind both of these shows, they are on different networks and are (presumably) set in different timelines, since Bruce Wayne is just a child and Oliver Queen is well into his crime-fighting career. That being said, it’s not unheard of for networks to cross two shows over, and we know that Arrow's Dollmaker terrorized the city long before returning to give Queen a headache. Of course they may not even be different takes on the same character, as the Dollmaker moniker has been taken on by 3 separate villains in the DC Universe.
But even if they are never explicitly stated as being the same Dollmaker and different actors plat the roles, it's always possible that some rough continuity will exist or at least be hinted at. What do you guys think?
