Many Gotham fans are eagerly awaiting the series finale, in which a jump forward in time will reportedly give viewers a look at Valeska, as well as David Mazouzâs Bruce Wayne, in their fully realized Joker and Batman forms.
âAll Iâll say is when you have an episode thatâs a full-on Batman episode running around in the futureâ¦" Monaghan said. "I donât want to say exactly what my role in that is, but it was kick ass. Itâs one of the coolest opportunities Iâve ever had."
