There are only two more Gotham episodes left but FOX added a few weeks of repeats to extend the season. Here’s when the final two episodes will air.
Between Batman’s 80th anniversary, the first trailer for the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie and the reveal of the new Mr. J, there’s no question that this is a great time for Batman fans.
Unfortunately, though, amid all of the excitement there’s also a bit of sadness mixed in as fans prepare to say goodbye to Gotham. The show only has two episodes remaining and the next episode of the series will air on April 18.
The penultimate episode of Gotham is titled “They Did What?” and it serves as the setup for the series finale one week later. Barbara’s baby is kidnapped and Bane is working on his plan to take down the city. While Gordon tries to keep things from falling apart, it’s time for Bruce Wayne to step up and become the Dark Knight.
Though FOX only granted Gotham 12 episodes for its final season, the show is still going well into April because the network has been spacing things out with reruns and other programming. Now that there are only two episodes left, there isn’t much more FOX can do other than to air them.
Season 5 has been one of the most solid seasons of the entire season, which isn’t surprising given that the series has been building to get to this point. The series follows the rise of Gotham City’s heroes and villains.
Jim Gordon has gone from green police detective to veteran captain. Gordon has seen the city through thick and thin, and now he’s guiding Gotham City through the worst of No Man’s Land.
Gotham City’s villains are all falling into place. Penguin and Riddler have been around for a while now, but Jeremiah Valeska’s Mr. J has been evolving for some time. After taking a dip in a vat of acid at Ace Chemicals, he’s ready for his big debut.
Gotham returns on April 18 at 8 p.m. on FOX, and the season finale will air April 25.
