‘Gotham’ Season 4 Spoilers: Villains Will Team Up In Unexpected Ways

The alliances made by “Gotham” villains over the past few seasons have really been fun to watch. Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) and Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) first teamed up before turning on each other, while Oswald and Ivy (Maggie Geha) formed an unlikely partnership in Season 3.

Next season, however, executive producer John Stephen said the show will take their friendships and alliances to a whole new level.

“We have all these families that are being created this year, and one of the families is going to be a brand new and very different Lee Tompkins, together with Ed Nygma and Solomon Grundy, who is Butch Gilzean obviously,” he told Cinema Blend. “When Butch becomes Solomon Grundy, he doesn’t remember his former life, so when he runs into Ed Nygma, he doesn’t remember that he wants to rip his head off. And Ed, who is suffering the effects of being frozen for three months, needs Grundy’s help to get strong again. The three of them form this weird little family.”

Another friendship to be formed next season will be Selina Kyle (Carmen Bicondova) and Tabitha Galavan (Jessica Lucas). The two had little interaction over the past few seasons, but now, it will be Tabitha teaching Selina the ropes so she could transition into the Catwoman. “Those skills that you associate with grown-up Catwoman, we’re going to see Tabitha start teaching her at the beginning of this year,” Stephen told TV Insider.

The Scarecrow, also known as Jonathan Crane (Charlie Tahan), will also be returning next season. However, who he teams up with, if ever, still remains a mystery. 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. This time, it is the villain who will give other people a dose of terror. “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.”

Powell also supported Mazouz’s revelation. “It’s super creepy, too. You’re gonna love it,” he teased.

“Gotham” Season 4 will premiere on Sept. 28 on FOX.
