Gotham Penguin Robin Lord Taylor DC Comics

Gotham star Robin Lord Taylor teases the relationship between Penguin and the Riddler in the final season of the Batman prequel series.

The final season of Gotham is finally underway and the relationship between Taylor’s Penguin and Cory Michael Smith’s Riddler has been developed since the very first season. The two future Batman rogues didn’t share any scenes in the Season 5 premiere, but Lord teased in an on-set interview with ComicBook.com that the two will continue to evolve throughout the final season:

“I will say that there. We do address aspects of their relationship, and the characters when they first come back together it’s one of my favorite scenes that we’ve had because it takes everything that’s happened, but it contextualizes it and it shows where they are now and how for anyone to survive-not just each other-for anyone to survive in Gotham how they need each other and how they compliment each other and so it’s really cool.”

Here is the plot synopsis for the final season of Gotham:

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?
