When Gotham first premiered nearly five years ago, it was said that we would never see one true, proper Joker. Instead, the Batman prequel television series would feature several possible Jokers, so as to not give the character one particular origin story. Fast forward to Season 5, and now it appears as if the Clown Prince of Cime is fully formed, and ready to take Gotham City by storm.For quite a few seasons now, the birth of the Joker has been closely tied with Jerome Valeska and his twin brother, Jeremiah, both played by Cameron Monaghan. When Season 4 of Gotham concluded, Jerome was dead, and Jeremiah was following in his brother's footsteps as a maniacal, criminal genius who left the city in chaos and ruins. The character was all but ready to become the Joker and now, with Season 5, it appears as if the Fox series will finally feature Jeremiah as the iconic Batman villain.RELATED: Gotham: First Full Look At Shane West As BaneA new picture from the set of Gotham, which is currently in the midst of filming its fifth and final season, offers us a look at the returning Jeremiah, who now not only has the pale skin of the Joker, but also the signature green hair and colorful, striped suit. The purple gloves only add to a mix of colors that makes the character stand out as someone who could ultimately become the real Joker.

The picture was initially posted on Alfred Pennyworth actor Sean Pertwee's Instagram account, but it has since been deleted. This makes us believe that Jeremiah's look wasn't supposed to be shared just yet, and it could be further proof that Season 5 of Gotham might allow the character to go full-on Joker.

It was initially reported that Gotham's Valeska brothers would ultimately never be called "The Joker" nor sport green hair due to studio interference, but it now appears as if that may have changed. After all, David Mazouz, who plays young Bruce Wayne on the series, later teased in an interview that his character would fight the real Joker. Now, with this new picture teasing Jeremiah's costume, we might finally see a fully realized Joker on the small screen, one who comes into his own just as Bruce Wayne embraces his destiny as the Dark Knight.
