观众们都认为上半季季中集里急冻人(特邀演员内森·达罗饰)的出现是本季的高潮部分，然而在接下来的几集中他将不会为非作歹，剧组也打算以非常忠贞的形象引入此角色。“我们将回到原著的根基，”执行制片人布鲁诺·海勒告诉TVGuide.com，“这里讲的是在他成为反派前他与他妻子的故事，比起高科技与超级反派的故事这更是一个解读他内心的故事，这是一段注定失败的爱情，将会使人们落泪。”

　　《哥谭》第二季对反派怪博士雨果(B.D.王饰)使用了“好人变坏人”的老套路，“他与那种‘咩~哈~哈~’大笑的反派半毛钱关系都没有,”海勒说，“他是一个深爱科学的家伙，无论从哪个角度看他都不认为自己是个恶人，他拥有科学进步精神，是未来科学的希望，他让我们知道了如果使用不当这种能力将会如何被扭曲成邪恶之物。”

　　虽然这些新登场的反派表面上很厉害，但比起像奥斯瓦尔德·科波特(罗宾·劳德·泰勒饰)那样的大坏蛋还差一点，不服的话可以找找有哪些像企鹅人那样千方百计想成为哥谭之王的故事。“他很有挑战性，”海勒说，“吉尔赞开始感到他的王座岌岌可危，而塔比瑟仍在周围惹麻烦，同时企鹅人的生活正向一个人们意想不到的方向迈进，对此我们感到十分兴奋。怪博士雨果对企鹅人也有着深远的影响，他在诸多方面重新塑造了这个人。”

　　《哥谭》将于2月29日星期一8/7点档在Fox电视台回归

　　Mega Buzz: How Will Gotham Handle Two Classic Comic Book Villains?The upcoming second half of Gotham's second season will feature the "rise" of two more iconic Batman villains.Viewers already got a peak at Mr. Freeze (guest star Nathan Darrow) in the midseason finale, but he will figure heavily in the next couple of episodes. And the show plans to be pretty faithful in adapting the character. "We're taking it back to the roots of the origin story," executive producer Bruno Heller tells TVGuide.com. "It's about him and his wife before he became a bad guy, how he became a bad guy. It's very much a story of the heart rather than a story about technology and super-villainy. It's a doomed romance. It will make people cry."Gotham is taking a similar good-guy-turned-bad approach with its other major Season 2 villain: Dr. Hugo Strange (B.D. Wong). "He's very much not a 'mwa-ha-ha' villain," Heller says. "He is a man filled with the joys of science. He doesn't think of himself in any way as a bad person. He is the essence of scientific progress and the joy of hope for the future that science promises. He shows us how even that sensibility can be warped into something evil if wrongly used." But don't think that these flashy newcomers will detract from baddies like Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor). Rather, look for those stories to converge as Penguin continues to try to be the king of Gotham. "He is very much challenged," Heller says. "Gilzean begins to feel that he deserves a crack at the throne, and Tabitha is still around to cause trouble. But Pengin's life veers off in a totally unexpected direction that we're very excited about. Dr. Hugo Strange has a profound effect on Penguin. He makes a new man of him in many ways." Gotham returns Monday, Feb. 29 at 8/7 on Fox.
