'Gotham' Season 2 Release Date, Plot News: Teaser Trailer Shows Surge of Villains Causing Mass Panic
The premiere date of the highly anticipated second season of Fox's hit crime-fighting drama TV series "Gotham" is now edging closer and a new teaser just amped up the excitement showing the titular city's old as well as its new breed of villains.
Citing TV Line, the new promo features GCPD's detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Station Captain Essen (Zabryna Guevara) about the city facing "a new day." This is in light to the chaotic events in Season 1 where the powers of the mobsters evaporated due to their own disagreements and personal intentions.
However, from one problem comes another as the video also feature glimpses of the new baddies like billionaire/philanthropist Theo Galvan (James Frain) and his bullwhip-trotting sister Tabitha a.k.a. Tigress (Jessica Lucas).

Viewers may also caught sight of Dustin Ybarra as the previously rumoured cannibal Robert Greenwood.
The old foes apparently won't allow themselves to miss the action. Scenes feature the ever-ambitious Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. (Robin Lord Taylor), the Falcone henchman Victor Zaasz (Anthony Carrigan) and of course, the supervillain in the making, GCPD's resident crime lab specialist, Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith).
But one of the characters shown that caught the attention of fans is the menacing circus kid, Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan). He was first seen donning an Arkham Asylum uniform and giving off his mostly recognizable sinister laugh.
The next scenes explode with gunfights right inside the Gotham Police headquarters and leading the assault is none other than the "Joker."
"You haven't seen nothing yet!" Jerome said in a CCTV recording footage and lacing it with his laugh.
"The laugh is fabulous. Use that," Theo told the youngster criminal.
Monaghan previously spoke, in an interview with Zap2it that fans may still have to hold on to that idea of his character being the Joker.
"It's less of a he and more of an idea. It's not about a man. It's about the ideology of a man and what that represents and how it affects other people," he told the media outlet. "I can say that by that ideology Jerome is very adept [at spreading it]."
Regardless of which, "Gotham" Season 2 debuts September 21 on Fox.
