‘Gotham’ Season 4 Spoilers: Cast Confirms ‘Creepy’ Scarecrow’s Return

“Gotham” has a habit of introducing villains then leaving them behind for other storylines, and this is exactly what happened to the Scarecrow after being introduced during Season 1.

The origin story of the Scarecrow, Jonathan Crane (Charlie Tahan), was established during the 15th episode, after Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and his partner Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) went after his father, Gerald, for harvesting the adrenal glands of his murder victims.

Jonathan was last seen screaming in terror in the hospital, after being injected by his father’s experiment and being subjected to a constant state of terror. Now that the Fox show will return for a fourth season, Jonathan’s story will unfold again. “Scarecrow comes back in season 4,” David Mazouz, the actor who plays Bruce Wayne, told Comic Book. “It’s on full blast, I’m really excited.”

His co-star Drew Powell, who might portray the zombie Solomon Grundy, supported Mazouz’s revelation. “It’s super creepy, too. You’re gonna love it,” he teased.

The first teaser about the Scarecrow’s reappearance was actually made by McKenzie several months ago. “There are some villains that I’m a fan of that are in season four,” McKenzie told Comic Book Resources then. “I’ve always been keen on the Scarecrow. It would be nice if the Scarecrow showed up.”

However, the other cast members have a different wish list for the villains. Season 3 was mainly dominated by the re-emergence of the Joker (Cameron Monaghan), as well as the formation of the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith). For Season 4, the girls want to take center stage. Heroic Hollywood earlier asked Carmen Bicondova, who plays Selina Kyle, about the possibility of the Gotham City Sirens forming next season.

The actress answered that she is not certain about this possibility. However, Bicondova said the show will probably delve into it in the future. “We haven’t really dived into that yet as of right now. I think that eventually it will happen,” she said.

The actress added that joining the Sirens would be “cool,” although she has no clue how that will go. “I have no idea because some things are shaking up this season, so we never know!” she said.
