'Gotham' Season 2 Spoilers: Good Girl Gone Bad Then Good Again When Series Returns?
Gotham City will welcome back a "dead" female character as per recent "Gotham" season 2 spoilers. But the question is: whose side is she on now?
Jada Pinkett Smith will reportedly reprise her role as mobster Fish Mooney in the Fox TV series. However, there's not much detail about her comeback.
Another female character is returning but unlike Fish Mooney's case, details regarding this particular character is already out in the open.
Erin Richards said her character Barbara Kean will return in second half of "Gotham" season 2 as a changed person.
"Yeah, she comes back totally different," Richards said per Comicbook.com.
"And that will happen again. You know, you go into a coma, you're going to come out a little different. It's ambiguous as to whether she is actually changed, or whether she's not changed [and pretending]."
Barbara Kean, who in the comic book ended up with Jim Gordon (played in the show by Ben McKenzie) and had a daughter with him who grew to become Batgirl, had an important story arc in the first half of "Gotham" season 2.
She went crazy and did horrible things to hurt Jim and her current girlfriend Dr. Leslie Thompson, played by Morena Baccarin.
She fell into a coma during the mid-season finale and when "Gotham" season 2 returns, she will wake up feeling so weak.
"For her, it's a little scary because she doesn't have that bit of power she can feed off of. She doesn't have that stability she can use," Richards added. "But at the same time, she's less constricted by somebody else's vision for her."
"Gotham" season 2 is set to return on Feb. 29 and according to earlier spoilers, Jim's job to protect the city will only get harder. He may have tranquilized a crazy Barbara but a more dangerous foe will surface.
In another "Gotham" season 2 spoilers, McKenzie warned fans to expect a crazier Barbara.
"She's in a coma, and in Gotham that means she's very much alive and she's coming back," he said.
"And they have a very complicated relationship, which we've only really begun to explore. There's a lot more to come."
