Let's talk about the new episode of Gotham ahead of next week release

The cast and crew of Gotham look to keep the ball rolling with next week’s episode, “A Dark Knight: The Fear Reaper.” From that foreboding title, you can probably think that the Scarecrow will play a huge role, no doubt confounding Jim Gordon and the rest of the GCPD at every turn.

Also, Bruce Wayne will be on his proto-Batman costume, which will apparently make its debut in the very same episode. Much like in Batman Begins, the burgeoning vigilante gets his threads and tech from Lucius Fox, only this time we have Chris Chalk in place of Morgan Freeman. Although it’s a little on the nose, the polite nod won’t go unappreciated.

Here’s a synopsis for this week’s episode if you’re interested in some minor spoilers:
Under pressure to prove that the GCPD is still powerful, Gordon attempts to bring in Jonathan Crane. However, Gordon puts himself in a dangerous situation at Arkham when he is forced to fight off lunatics and the demon within himself.

GOTHAM airs Thursday, Sept. 28 on FOX.
