Next week's episode of Gotham will introduce the Red Hood into their universe. In preparation for that, FOX has released a new featurette the explores the mystery behind the villain. The episode is appropriately titled “Red Hood,” and this is a description of that episode:
“Following several bank robberies, Gordon and Bullock investigate the Red Hood gang. Selina Kyle continues to bond with Barbara, and Fish Mooney tries to reclaim her position in the underworld.”
The Red Hood was introduced in DC Comics back in 1951 in a Detective Comics issue called “The Man Behind the Red Hood!” In that story, it was revealed that the villain was, in fact, the Joker. He used the identity of the Red Hood before he actually became the Joker.
Is it possible that the character we were introduced to last week wasn't the Joker after all? Could this be the direction Gotham is taking to bring Joker into the series? Or are the people involved with developing the series just having fun with us? If so...nicely done.
