Bruno Heller‘s Gotham had a stellar 1st season, and we are all waiting with anticipation for season 2. Ben McKenzie (Jim Gordon) and Cory Michael Smith (Ed Nygma aka Riddler) talk about the character arcs they have taken, and give a little insight into Gordon and Nygma’s dark minds.

Watch the “Aftermath” videos and check out the new season 2 logo below.

The fall television season creeps ever closer, and Gotham, one of FOX’s breakout hits of last year, has released some more season 2 teaser videos, so we won’t forget our favorite city (as if we could). What is super exciting, is the videos show the new theme in the promo – Gotham: The Rise of the Villains.

Watch the videos below.

Of course the highly successful Gotham had a panel presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year, with cast members Ben McKenzie (Det. Jim Gordon), Robin Lord Taylor (Oswald Cobblepot), David Mazouz (Bruce Wayne), Donal Logue (Det. Harvey Bullock), Camren Bicondova (Selina Kyle), Cory Michael Smith (Edward Nygma), Erin Richards (Barbra Keen), Morena Baccarin (Dr. Leslie Thompkins), and Sean Pertwee (Alfred Pennyworth). Joining them were executive producers Bruno Heller, Danny Cannon, John Stephens, and one of the DC head honchos, Geoff Johns. They got a surprise!

Check out the surprise panel video and some tweets below.

Looks like another set of villains are coming to Gotham for Season 2! With Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett-Smith) probably dead, and The Ogre (Milo Ventimiglia) and Maroni (David Zayas) definitely dead, there are a couple of evil vacancies. And you know Gotham. It would not be the show and city that it is without multitudes of bad guys (and girls) running around.

And who will these new villains be?

It’s the end of an awesome inaugural season for Gotham! This Batman prequel centers around Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and how he tries to clean up corrupt Gotham city with partner Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue), before the masked superhero grows up. We watched (and so did Selina Kyle – newcomer Camren Bicondova) the parents of Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) get murdered, starting his obsession with finding their killers and the corruption within Wayne Enterprises. We met the mob players of the town. There’s Don Falcone (John Doman) with his underling Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), and her soon-to-be betrayer underling Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor). There is also Don Maroni (David Zayas), a loudmouth who is trying to take over as well. We watched Ed Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) go from amiable lab geek to a full on psycho, cementing his inevitable Riddler persona. Many other characters from the DC universe have also visited Gotham this season like the Joker, Poison Ivy, The Dollmaker, and Lucius Fox (Chris Chalk).
