Cameron Monaghan Confirms Batman Will Appear In ‘Gotham’ Final Season

Cameron Monaghan, who plays Jerome on Gotham, recently revealed that Batman is definitely coming to the series’ final season.

The idea of doing a show based in Gotham City about Jim Gordon’s rise in the police force was something very different for a DC adaptation at the time. When fans began to fall in love with characters like The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), Batman’s rogue’s gallery began being woven into the series’ DNA. Fans have even seen young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) dress up in a proto-Batman suit but according to another actor from the series, Batman will be appearing in the upcoming final season.

Many fans have wondered if the caped crusader would make an appearance on the show before its end and according to actor Cameron Monaghan, he will. Monaghan plays Jerome on the series, essentially Gotham‘s version of a young Joker, and he was recently asked via Twitter whether or not Batman would show up on the show. The actor’s very simple response may take some fans by surprise, check it out below.

Now, although it’s been confirmed that Batman will appear on Gotham’s final season, there’s still no telling how big of a role he’ll play. This could be flashforwards we cut to throughout episodes, it could be a brief cameo at the end like Smallville, but one thing is for sure and that’s Gotham‘s ability to stay true to their characters while also doing something very fresh with them.
