The Batman prequel series on Fox, Gotham, seems pretty busy these days adding villains to their roaster! In the last few weeks, they have confirmed three epic DC Comics supervillains, The Dollmaker, The Scarecrow and The Red Hood. They have also promised to tease this season the origin story of the most loved Batman villain, The Joker!
Now, they have confirmed another new villain to appear this season and also the name of the actor who'll play the role. This villain isn't any epic one. There was a DC Comics villain by this name but not having the same attributes as Gotham describes about their one, actually, not even close! But the actor isn't any new one. He has been appearing on screen since the year 1995!
Do you remember Peter Petrelli of the NBC science fiction drama Heroes? Yes, it's the dashing Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia who has been announced as the latest Gotham villain!
Milo Ventimiglia As The Ogre!
Milo Ventimiglia
Milo will make his debut in the nineteenth episode of Gotham as Jason Lennon, aka the Ogre. His character is a handsome, wealthy and seductive serial killer and his targets are the young women of the Caped Crusader's city. According to the details revealed by "˜The Hollywood Reporter', Lennon assesses each of his targets with a number of tests as a procedure of his search for a perfect life partner and it has been nearly a decade since he started.
If someone fails to live up to the mark, he doesn't delay in killing the person with all brutality. Milo's character clashes with Ben McKenzie's Jim Gordon, and that results for them and the ones around them to be sent "˜on a course of tragedy'!
The Ogre & The Joker Connection!
The Joker
It seems like people want The Joker to be in Gotham more than they want Batman! The introduction of Milo's new character has given rise to a new question, is he somehow connected to The Joker? Well, apparently it seems to be possible no way that the Ogre could at any point transform into The Joker, but he can be the cause of the supervillain's coming into being.
"˜Course of tragedy' for both the Ogre and Gordon! There is some kind of an impact that will prevail after the clash is over! Tragedy for the Ogre might be death but for Gordon, hardly anything can be as tragic as facing The Joker! Is that being indicated? What do you guys think?
