Gotham: Jim Gordon, Bounty Hunter?
Jim Gordon won’t be re-joining the GCPD when season 3 of Gotham starts
When we left Gotham at the end of season 2, Jim Gordon ran off to re-unite with Leslie Thompkins and rekindle their romance. Did you think they’d just live happily ever after? Maybe at some point they will get back together, but Ben McKenzie, who plays Gordon on the show reveals that Gordon has been rejected by Leslie and he’s living a lonely, solitary life as bounty hunter, going after all those monsters that escaped from the Indian Hill facility at the end of season two.
The video below shows McKenzie explaining how doing the right thing in Gotham never really works, and how thanks to all the monsters unleashed in the city have made it complete anarchy. Gee, if only there was a guy who could do something about that. Someone with years of intense training and virtually unlimited resources. Maybe he could wear a costume. Check out the clip of Ben McKenzie talking about Jim Gordon in the third season of Gotham below:
In case you are worried that means Morena Baccarin, who plays Leslie Thompkins on Gotham, won’t be showing up in season three, that’s absolutely not true. She has more or less picked up the pieces of her life and moved on with a new relationship, but she will be returning to Gotham and developing her own arc for the season, as Morena Baccarin explains in the video below:
If you’ve been paying attention to our Gotham coverage, you know that Leslie’s new relationship is with Mario Falcone, son of mobster Carmine Falcone, but he’s a respected ER doctor. I’m sure his ties to the mob will come into play at some point though. Gotham returns for season 3 September 19th on Fox!
