New place means new additional players in the story. Cast news now indicated that "Homeland" alum Morena Baccarin will be joining the Batman prequel show as Dr. Leslie Thompkins.
Speaking about her character, Baccarin said in an interview with IGN about the tweaks the crew has to make on Thompkins' origins.
"They're not sticking too close to the original mythology from the comics. Basically she and Jim meet at Arkham Asylum where he winds up working after the last episode," she revealed.
Nonetheless, Thompkins and Gordon will hit up easily as they both shared a common goal.
"They're both two people who are trying to do the right thing in a city that's corrupt. And, like him, she's someone who doesn't really stand for bulls---," Baccarin went on to say.
Meanwhile, a synopsis for the upcoming episode titled "Rouge's Gallery" was posted on The Futon Critic and it reads:
"Det. Gordon's assignment at Arkham Asylum gets off to a rocky start when the murder of a guard ignites an investigation, leading him to meet Dr. Leslie Thompkins (guest star Morena Baccarin, "Homeland"). Meanwhile, Cobblepot continues to build his army."
"Gotham" Season 1 Episode 11 airs this Monday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. on FOX.
