"That would be so exciting, because that’s also going to be part of his descent into madness. We’re getting there as the show goes along. That requires incredible ingenuity. How do you make an umbrella that shoots bullets, or, if you get really fantastical like Tim Burton, an umbrella that flies? Who does Oswald find to make that stuff for him? It would be amazing to really explore that."

Check out the full interview between Robin Lord Taylor and CBR at the link above, where he also talks about what he’d like to see happen in Season 2 of Gotham and his thoughts on how Penguin ^ Jim Gordon’s relationship is evolving. Hopefully it won’t be too long until we see Robin Lord Taylor sporting an umbrella machine gun!
