Penguin’s Mom Gets Cast In Fox’s ‘Gotham’

Briefly: The cast of Fox’s Gotham has grown yet again.

The series shows off the Batman universe, its heroes, and its villains, long before the Dark Knight ever donned his first cape. As such, I always wondered whether or not we’d be seeing the parents of any of the series’ characters, and with the casting of Carol Kane as Oswald Cobblepot’s mom, Gertrud Kapelput, Fox just opened up a whole world for the anticipated show.

The character was very seminal in Gregg Hurwitz and Szymon Kudranski’s Penguin: Pain & Predjudice, so it will certainly be interesting to see how she’ll shape Oswald’s future in Gotham.

The character is described as “A proud and faded beauty with delusions of grandeur” and she’ll first appear in episode two.
