《哥譚》第二季下半季：迎來前所未有的混亂

　　觀眾們都認為上半季季中集里急凍人(特邀演員內森·達羅飾)的出現是本季的高潮部分，然而在接下來的幾集中他將不會為非作歹，劇組也打算以非常忠貞的形象引入此角色。“我們將回到原著的根基，”執(zhí)行制片人布魯諾·海勒告訴TVGuide.com，“這里講的是在他成為反派前他與他妻子的故事，比起高科技與超級反派的故事這更是一個解讀他內心的故事，這是一段注定失敗的愛情，將會使人們落淚。”

　　《哥譚》第二季對反派怪博士雨果(B.D.王飾)使用了“好人變壞人”的老套路，“他與那種‘咩~哈~哈~’大笑的反派半毛錢關系都沒有,”海勒說，“他是一個深愛科學的家伙，無論從哪個角度看他都不認為自己是個惡人，他擁有科學進步精神，是未來科學的希望，他讓我們知道了如果使用不當這種能力將會如何被扭曲成邪惡之物。”

　　雖然這些新登場的反派表面上很厲害，但比起像奧斯瓦爾德·科波特(羅賓·勞德·泰勒飾)那樣的大壞蛋還差一點，不服的話可以找找有哪些像企鵝人那樣千方百計想成為哥譚之王的故事。“他很有挑戰(zhàn)性，”海勒說，“吉爾贊開始感到他的王座岌岌可危，而塔比瑟仍在周圍惹麻煩，同時企鵝人的生活正向一個人們意想不到的方向邁進，對此我們感到十分興奮。怪博士雨果對企鵝人也有著深遠的影響，他在諸多方面重新塑造了這個人。”

　　《哥譚》將于2月29日星期一8/7點檔在Fox電視臺回歸

　　Mega Buzz: How Will Gotham Handle Two Classic Comic Book Villains?The upcoming second half of Gotham's second season will feature the "rise" of two more iconic Batman villains.Viewers already got a peak at Mr. Freeze (guest star Nathan Darrow) in the midseason finale, but he will figure heavily in the next couple of episodes. And the show plans to be pretty faithful in adapting the character. "We're taking it back to the roots of the origin story," executive producer Bruno Heller tells TVGuide.com. "It's about him and his wife before he became a bad guy, how he became a bad guy. It's very much a story of the heart rather than a story about technology and super-villainy. It's a doomed romance. It will make people cry."Gotham is taking a similar good-guy-turned-bad approach with its other major Season 2 villain: Dr. Hugo Strange (B.D. Wong). "He's very much not a 'mwa-ha-ha' villain," Heller says. "He is a man filled with the joys of science. He doesn't think of himself in any way as a bad person. He is the essence of scientific progress and the joy of hope for the future that science promises. He shows us how even that sensibility can be warped into something evil if wrongly used." But don't think that these flashy newcomers will detract from baddies like Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor). Rather, look for those stories to converge as Penguin continues to try to be the king of Gotham. "He is very much challenged," Heller says. "Gilzean begins to feel that he deserves a crack at the throne, and Tabitha is still around to cause trouble. But Pengin's life veers off in a totally unexpected direction that we're very excited about. Dr. Hugo Strange has a profound effect on Penguin. He makes a new man of him in many ways." Gotham returns Monday, Feb. 29 at 8/7 on Fox.
