"We had a possible Joker in the last episode, Cameron from Shameless. He did a wonderful job. It’s one of those things we sort of leave out and see if we come back to it or not. He’s possibly going to be the Joker because it’s an origins story. We…have a couple of possible people who could be the Joker.He’s just a kid at this point who has killed his own mother, so he’s clearly a little disturbed. And he’s grown up in the circus so he’s got a sense for the theatrical and he has the red hair and the requisite maniacal laugh. He kills it."

Ben McKenzie may be playing it kind of coy, but he also may not know. Despite the promos for that particular episode and the ending where Cameron Monaghan’s character laughed in a way that was clearly meant to evoke the Joker, Gotham EP Bruno Heller has been non-committal on the issue as well, claiming Monaghan may or may not be The Joker. Heck maybe somewhere down the line Jerome crosses path with that mysterious Red Hood that almost seems to have mystical powers like something out of Lord of The Rings. We’ll just have to keep watching Gotham to find out…
