Azrael (Gotham)
When Gotham producers said they wouldn’t be giving us costumed characters, they lied. They didn’t just give us a costumed Azrael, they gave us an Azreal straight from the comics. Easily the coolest thing the pre-Batman show has given us to date. The character’s background shared similar elements to the comic character’s background, but took some liberties, in normal Gotham fashion. Before he was Azrael, he was Theo Galavan, a character invented for the show who was the descendent of the Order of Saint Dumas, posing as a millionaire in an effort to get revenge on the Wayne family by killing Bruce because of their families linage rivalry. Eventually, he is killed and then resurrected by Hugo Strange, who wipes his memory and gives him the new memories of being the Order’s Warrior of Vengeance, Azrael.
The newly created Azrael had a backstory similar to his comic counterpart artificially implanted in his brain, right along with an excellently scary looking mask and costume. It’s a shame that we won’t ever be able to see Batman fight this version of Azrael, but he looks like he could give the Dark Knight a run for his money. Not to mention when he was brought back he was given enhanced physical abilities, naturally. Hopefully Bruce doesn’t go up against him anytime soon though, because he wouldn’t stand a prayer of a chance at this point. Unless Alfred is around.
Emilia Clarke doesn't know if her character will return.
