Just 3 episodes into Season 2 and Gotham has significantly stepped up its game and series mythos with “The Last Laugh.” Jerome has been revealed, through death, to be the prot0-Joker.

A legend left to grow in the cracks of Gotham city has been left behind in a rather brilliant way. Theo Galavan pulled off a long con setting up Jerome as the terror of Gotham only to swoop in to take him out and become the city’s hero. Jerome’s shocked response and final pose perfectly foreshadowing his impact on the city and Bruce Wayne’s future.

Easily the best episode of the series, let’s hope they can keep the momentum going.
