Fox has released the synopsis for Gotham season 3, giving fans a look at what’s to come in the city now that the Indian Hill experiments are on the loose!
When fans last saw Gotham Gordon, Bruce, and Lucius were being held prisoner by Hugo Strange at Indian Hill. Strange had been given orders to destroy the lab by blowing it up with a bomb, which also meant that the whole city was in danger. Luckily, Selina was able to set them free with the help of a very confused Firefly.
Gordon and Lucius were able to stop the bomb, by throwing water on it, but they also let loose Mooney and a slew of other experiments from Indian Hill. Instead of staying to help, Gordon decided it was time to go after Leslie.
The synopsis for Gotham season 3 is:
“The origin story continues on Season Three of Gotham, and the stakes are higher than ever, as Super-Villains more ambitious and depraved are introduced, and a realignment of alliances shakes up the fight for power in Gotham City.
Season Three will peel back the curtain on the infamous criminal organization known as the Court of The Owls. With the Indian Hill escapees on the loose, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) must take matters into his own hands as a bounty hunter in Gotham. He makes it his mission to find Hugo Strange (guest star BD Wong), the mastermind behind the horrifying Indian Hill experiments, and Fish Mooney (guest star Jada Pinkett Smith), one of Strange’s subjects. Meanwhile, GCPD Detective Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) and Captain Nathaniel Barnes (Michael Chiklis) remain at the forefront of the fight against crime in the monster-ridden city. Also, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), with the help of his trusted butler and mentor, Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee), and former Wayne Enterprises employee, Lucius Fox (Chris Chalk), discovers there are still more secrets to uncover regarding his parents’ murders.
As the city sinks deeper into chaos, Gotham will continue to follow the evolving stories of the city’s most malevolent villains: The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor); Edward Nygma/the future Riddler (Cory Michael Smith); Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman (Camren Bicondova); Barbara Kean (Erin Richards),Tabitha Galavan/Tigress (Jessica Lucas) and Butch Gilzean (Drew Powell). The series also will catch up with the future Poison Ivy (Maggie Geha), who, after an encounter with a monster from Indian Hill, finds herself reborn as a young woman who’s harnessed the full power of her charms; and will dive into the origin stories of Jervis Tetch/Mad Hatter (Benedict Samuel), a talented hypnotist teetering on the edge of madness; and the Tweed Brothers.”
Fox also released the character posters which follow along with the dark and foreboding theme:
