Following leaked images surfacing online earlier today, Entertainment Weekly has revealed a firey first look at Shane West’s Bane in the upcoming final season of Gotham.
The final season of FOX’s Batman prequel series Gotham is set to introduce West as the iconic Batman villain Bane. After several teases of the costume reveal, and some recently leaked images, we finally have an official look at the character. Check it out below!
In addition, showrunner John Stephens dished on the show’s take on the character, describing him as “very, very strong, and very angry” and “integral to the fact of coming in as a special ops government agent.” Stephens also teased what to expect from the continuation of the “No Man’s Land” storyline in the new season:
“We pick up at the top of season five, at the conclusion of No Man’s Land, Day 365,” Stephens said. “Then, we cycle backwards to day 87, three months into No Man’s Land where Jim has created his green zone and wants his reunification. We’re catching up, and for the first nine episodes, we’re always catching up to that first scene we see.”

Gotham stars Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Sean Pertwee as Alfred Pennyworth, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle, and Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma.
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?
Gotham season 5 will premiere on FOX in 2019.
