Yahoo News Gotham to introduce Ventriloquist and more DC villains
The fifth and final season of Gotham will introduce the Ventriloquist and more classic Batman villains.
Gotham executive producer John Stephens has confirmed that the series, which won't premiere until 2019, will introduce DC characters such as Scarface, Ventriloquist, Mother, Orphan and Lady Shiva into its final run.
Why not, eh?
"There are a whole bunch of characters I want to see that I feel the viewers at large aren't fully aware of, like Scarface or Ventriloquist," Stephens told CBR.
"There's a great dark version of that character somewhere out there who I would like to see come out. Some characters we know we want to see are Mother and Orphan.
"We want to see Lady Shiva. We are going to see all those characters in season 5."
Gotham season five will pick up after Jeremiah's plan to detonate a series of massive bombs under the city's streets, leaving Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the rest of the survivors facing a number of previously unknown enemies.
The show's season four finale aired last week, and managed to kill off some pretty iconic Gotham characters in the process too, setting the stage for the final season that will ultimately see Bruce complete his transformation into Batman after years of build-up.

Earlier this month, Jeremiah actor Cameron Monaghan explained the absence of the "Joker" title from the series.
In a Twitter post, Cameron revealed the decision not to officially name either of his characters as the Joker came "from high-up" in order to "reserve" the name for the DCEU film series.
Go figure.
Gotham airs on FOX in the US and E4 in the UK, where seasons 1-3 are also available on demand via Netflix.
