Gotham ... a city of darkness, a city of madness, a city of death. Around each corner a new threat lurks and danger can hit closer to home than many people will even ponder. With enemies shadowed by the night in a city that never sleeps, Holly, her friends and the G.C.P.D. will be faced with new villains that threaten to take everything they all care about. And it seems that they've evolved slightly since the first season of Gotham.
