In last night's season premiere of Gotham, we were introduced to Theo and Tabitha Galavan. While their end game has yet to be revealed, it's apparent that they have big plans for the city, but could they actually be under the employ of The Court of Owls? Showrunner Bruno Heller wasn't willing to confirm or deny that popular fan theory during a recent interview with ComicBook.com, but did reveal that the mysterious group will definitely factor into Gotham in the very near future.
"We are absolutely going to explore that world down the line. Looking at the longevity of the show, we have to hold some cards back, we can’t just throw all of the elements, all of the story at once,. The long arc of the show is Bruce Wayne’s journey of discovery down into the depths of the physical and meta-physical world of Gotham. The Court of Owls is a brilliant conceit that will absolutely be part of our storytelling. I just won’t tell you when."
Whether or not this is going to happen in season two of Gotham clearly remains to be seen, but there's a lot the series could do with The Court, especially as they existed long before Bruce Wayne became Batman (thereby giving the show a little more freedom than it has with characters like The Penguin and The Riddler). What do you guys think? Be sure to let us know your thoughts below.
