What to Know

Critics Consensus

The action and use of the ensemble in "The Blind Fortune Teller" add excitement to an otherwise disappointing introduction of an iconic Batman villain.

Tonight's Gotham is all about the ladies, which is surprising considering how poorly this show's ladies are written. Go to Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer Feb 24, 2015

That was Cameron Monaghan putting on a minute's worth of (an admittedly effective) Joker impression...
