'Gotham' season 4 update: Oswald Cobblepot push teased in pilot episode title tweet
"Gotham" fans may still be catching their breath following the season 3 finale. New angles are expected for season 4, with new events tied up to Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) and Oswald Cobblepot/Peguin (Robin Taylor).
While Gordon is more than likely to continue his law-enforcing ways, Bruce Wayne could be joining the fray. Both “Gotham” characters may eventually cross paths, though the word out is that seeing the Dark Knight inserted is still uncertain, if not far off. Most of this was covered in a previous post.
Heading over to the dark side of things, there are plenty to digest. These would include the alleged transformation of Butch Gilzean (Drew Powell) who could return in the form of the vile Solomon Grundy. That and more are likely to re-emerge.
As for Penguin, writer John Stephens tweeted a picture of the title of the first episode of season 4. The episode is titled "Pax Penguina," which will be directed by Danny Cannon. The title would associates Penguin by "Penguina," while "Pax" is Latin for peace. So what could all this mean?
As most people know, the rocky relationship between Cobblepot and Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) came to a freezing end during the season finale of "Gotham" season 3. Rather than kill his former ally, the man who calls himself the Riddler was placed in an icy state with the help of Victor Fries (Nathan Darrow). Before the season finale of "Gotham" came to a close, Cobblepot was mapping out plans to open a bar he would call Iceberg Lounge, for obvious reasons.
"Pax Penguina" could see Cobblepot and Nygma making amends and once again partnering up to no good. While that could happen with Penguin now holding the upper hand, it may be temporary. Nygma could simply play along then double-cross Penguin once he successfully hits the soft spot of the man who previously had feelings for him in an earlier episode of "Gotham."
If not the Cobblepot-Nygma scenario, it could be tied up to other characters like Gordon, Bruce Wayne or even Hugo Strange (BD Wong). Check back for more updates on “Gotham” here in IBT AU, which returns at a yet-to-be-announced date.
