I saw an episode of How I met Your Mother with the actress who plays Lesley.
The two people on Gordon’s right I think one is Roman Sionis aka Black Mask, he just has that look about him. I know the actor was in True Blood and the Tudors but I can’t remember his name.
I have know idea who the woman is. She looks catwomanish but we already have a young Catwoman. She could be Talia al Ghul but it seems too early to be introducing any league of shadows stuff especially as we had the Nolan movies feature them. Maybe she’s a vigilante crime fighter?

The actor is James Frain, and he’s playing Theo Galvan, brother of Tigress, who is the woman with the whip.

I never realised Carol Kane who plays Penguin’s mother was in Princess Bride as well. She played Miracle Max’s wife.

Keeper of FelixI told myself I would give Gotham one more chance to prove to me that it was worth keeping in my TV roster so I watched the premiere of S2.
It was 99.9% better than everything that happened in S1. A sort of campy, fun, less-tedious-case-of-the-week format really improved the show overall. When the best of the episode is Barbara, then you know they’ve done a 180.
Overall, it was fun and managed to feel like Gotham is trying to be its own entity, not something that has to stick to a canon. It found a better place to reside, using canon to help it along, but not feeling like it had to be a slave to it.
Best bits:
–Barbara and Jerome
–Penguin being a boss
–Riddler! I love him; I think he’s my favorite.
–Donal Logue just being there is good enough for me for the moment
–The new villains
Less than stellar bits
–Why is Selena working for Penguin?
–The ending is rather horrible cliche in terms of writing, but more or less expected since Baby! Batman is in fact…Batman
–Leigh. I find her boring. Not as much as I found Barbara boring, but she’s pretty bland on her own.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I recall cast and crew interviews saying that Gotham was basically re-inventing itself this Season. After viewing the Season premiere, I definitely got that impression. I guess they seriously took all the criticism they received from last Season, and used it to improve the show for Season 2. Barbara was one of the biggest issues in Season 1, and they’re already doing a great job using her in a better way. Fish Mooney is still dead, and quite frankly good riddance. Penguin as the King of Gotham is balls to the walls crazy, but still very fun to watch. The show seems to be taking itself less seriously this time around, and that’s honestly a good thing.
RG for me it was simply and pure fun. I really enjoyed Gotham!
And look forward to see where the story goes.

Gotham had a great season premiere! I’m still sad that Fish is “dead”, but I always remember that “Fish can swim”.
Selina and Penguin….okay, given how we know how they’re relationship will be all “Frenemies, But Still Wanna Kill You” in the future, it’s going to be interesting seeing them start out as partners in crime and work their way up the ladder.
Bruce and Alfred…I must say that I’m really loving this premise! Alfred is so much like a father and friend to Bruce, who we can see is slowly dipping his toes into the Batman waters. He said something like “sacrifice your integrity and something for the greater good” and that’s something Batman would have said!!!! And then what his father said “You can’t have both happiness and the truth”, I’m really interested in learning what in the world was his father hiding/doing.
And Jerome…..the dude playing him….Wow! Just wow! He’s very in tune with his character! Anyone get the feeling that Barbra will likely end up becoming Harley Quinn???
And speaking of Barbra…this two timing, empty headed, demonic mary poppins got a lot of nerve calling Leslie like that! Did she forget that Leslie almost put her down last time they tangled?

A couple of us had this conversation this morning and @Phee made a really good point that while Barbara probably won’t be Harley herself, she’ll be the reason why Jerome creates Harley at some point in the future.
