E! Online reports the producers have done a great job in introducing Monaghan as Jerome, who eventually fans assumed will take on The Joker’s role, despite producers being coy about the actor’s part in the series.
Last season, Jerome admitted to brutally and ruthlessly murdering his own mother and it looks like viewers will get to see more of his deadly personality this season. The 21-year-old actor makes an epic split-second return in the teaser and appears that he is up to no good.
It’s evident that his character is being held in the Arkham Asylum based on his prison uniform. In an interview with IGN, showrunner Heller admits that the first few episodes of Season 2 will let fans in on how The Joker came to be.
He adds that the storyline they have for The Joker character will play out over the whole season, giving fans of the Clown Prince of Crime something to watch out for every episode. Mckenzie seconds Heller’s claims admitting that he has now read four scripts for the upcoming season and teases that The Joker’s character is highly featured. He assures that fans of The Joker will be very happy with what the show has in store for one of the most anticipated villains of the show.
