Gotham: Leo Fitzpatrick To Play Original Villain

Becuase there aren’t enough classic villains coming to terrorize Gotham in season two, actor Leo Fitzpatrick is joining the fold as an original villain.

Fitzpatrick will play Joe Pike, the leader of a gang of Arsonists known as the Pike Brothers. It’s set to be a recurring role, so he’ll obviously be trying to set Gotham ablaze on multiple occasions. While the Pike Brothers are an original creation, this could certainly lead to a certain famous Gotham arsonist down the road somewhere.

I know the second season of Gotham is dubbed “Rise of The Villains” but I hope it’s not too jam-packed with introducing us to new and classic characters that it forgets to have a cohesive arc this coming season. We’ll find out when the second season premiers on Fox September 21st.
