Gotham showunner Bruno Heler has drop a net ton of details about the pre - Batman show prior to ComicCon . Harvey Dent , the desperate district attorney destine to become Two - Face will conjoin the cast , as will Dr. Hugo Strange , as Gotham is also an origin storey for Arkham Asylum . But hold back , there ’s more !
jubilantly , Heller deny the hearsay that the show wouldintroduce a possible Joker in every single instalment , which is beneficial , because that sounded terrible . There will still be multiple candidates , but they wo n’t be shoehorn in like that .
As for the young Pamela Isley , who of track grows up to be the eco - villain Poison Ivy and whomGotham inexplicably named Ivy Pepper , Heller tried to make it explicable inan audience with IGN :
It ’s really about being able-bodied to tell the secret histories of these tale . If you just re - enjoin story on the dot as they ’ve been told before , whilst you ’re being straight to the create mythology , you ’re not really adding anything to it . So you have to ascertain ways of finding more . And in this grammatical case , we ’ve set up a situation in which Ivy Pepper , her mommy is disgusted , her pappa is dead … She ’s pass to go to the orphanage . And she ’s a nice untried girl ; comparatively undamaged . And she will find hoi polloi to take on her . And then we will start on the Poison Ivy story that masses are intimate with .
So Ivy gets adopted and her surrogate parents change her name ? That may flee if she was an baby , but the Ivy of the show is like six or something . Changing her name is kind of messed up , is n’t it ? But maybe that ’s the point — her newfangled parent take in Ivy and then traumatize her into loving industrial plant - base offense ? But even in that case , making her original name Ivy is still ludicrously , distressingly obvious . Also messed up : pretending modify Poison Ivy ’s original name to “ Ivy Pepper ” is “ adding anything ” to the mythos . The foster kid stuff ? Sure . “ Ivy Pepper ” ? No different from changing Oswald Cobblepot ’s name to Penn Gwynn .
