Now
that the second of Gotham is over, what can we look forward to in the third
season of Fox's Batman prequel TV series? Well, new villains for starters.
According
to series executive producer John Stephens "we'll be seeing Mad Hatter in Season 3. We'll be
seeing the Tweedle Brothers, too, if we're going to bring the Hatter in. In
line with the Court of Owls, we'll be seeing Talon. And, we should be seeing
Solomon Grundy."
The Mad Hatter has
been teased a couple of times this past season, and Talon is a member of the
Court of Owls, so their introduction to Gotham City seems pretty
straightforward, but Grundy is a surprise.
A zombie super-villain with several origin stories, the
undead monster known as Solomon Grundy is powerful, immortal and bad news for every hero unfortunate enough
to cross his path. Grundy was a corrupt man named Cyrus Gold until his premature
death in Slaughter Swamp. Since then, his entire existence has been an unending
cycle of death and rebirth. When Grundy dies, he eventually rises again,
emerging from the depths of his original resting place in the swamp to wreak
havoc on the living.
However, there’s a twist to this otherwise
dependable cycle. When he’s reborn, his personality often changes. Sometimes he
returns a mindless monster, destroying everything in his path. Other times,
he’s reborn with a high level of intelligence, granting him a deadly
combination of brains and brawn. But no matter the changes in his personality,
he always has the same superhuman strength, stamina and near indestructibility,
and his desires remain evil and corrupt. He is a monster—an invulnerable one
that will keep coming back again…and again… (DC)
