‘Gotham’ Final Season Banner Teases ‘The Dark Knight Is Coming’

FOX is gearing up for the fifth and final season of Gotham and to mark the occasion the network has released a brand new poster which not so subtly hints at the emergence of the long-teased Caped Crusader.

The banner features a chaotic backdrop of a burning metropolis with all the major players overlooking the edge a destroyed bridge. If you will recall, Jeremiah’s bombs destroyed all the bridges in and out of Gotham City at the end of last season, effectively cutting the city off from the rest of the world. Prominently displayed overhead is a fiery tagline: “The Dark Knight Is Coming.”

It’s probably safe to say that David Mazouz will be taking on an even bigger role this time out as the season will chart young Bruce Wayne’s evolution into the iconic Batman and the timing could not be better. Season four climaxed with a full-blown criminal takeover of Gotham City. Needless to say, he is the hero they need right now.

Are you excited for the final season of Gotham? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

With Gotham on the brink of total anarchy and cut off from the outside world, only Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne and a handful of heroes remain behind to retake the city. Inspired by the “No Man’s Land” arc from the comics, villains including Penguin, the Riddler, the Sirens and Jeremiah have taken claim on various regions of the city. Will order be restored, or will chaos reign in Gotham?

The series stars Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle, Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma, Jessica Lucas as Tabitha Galavan, and Chris Chalk as Lucius Fox.

Gotham season 5 will premiere on January 3, 2019, on Fox.
