Ben McKenzie Reveals Huge Gotham Spoiler for Next Season

In Philadelphia for his first Comic Con appearance ever,  Gotham star Ben McKenzie possibly spilled a big secret about season two of the show.

He slipped and told the crowd they would definitely be seeing the Joker next season.

Whether this slip was intentional or not, the actor spilled the beans on what is possibly a huge secret for next year. He also shared a lot more about the upcoming season.

McKenzie also said they would be getting away from the format this season and that two would be more serialized episodes. “We’re getting away from the who-dunnit of the week,” and that next season is “Really cool. If you like it now…just wait!”

He also expressed the same feelings that many fans shared with him during the Q & A section of the panel. “You kind of like the villains…you’ll see a lot more of them [in season two].” He said there would be even more of the villains we all know and love from the Batman timeline, especially seen through their parents, much like season one showed with Scarecrow.

When asked how it felt to follow up such an iconic portrayal of Commissioner Gordon by Gary Oldman, McKenzie said, “I had nightmares of Gary Oldman coming to my house..with a gun saying ‘You better just quit’.”

Fans also asked about crossovers with some of the other DC shows, to which McKenzie replied that Gotham is a “totally unique world…and alternate reality.”

He was also asked which villains he would like to see in season two, which was when he spilled the beans on Joker. But he also pointed out that there are plenty more villains for them to use.

We’d love to hear from you! Which villain would you most like to see in season two of Gotham? Let us know in the comments!
