Season 2of Fox’s hit seriesGothamwill pick up where theSeason 1cliffhanger left off, with Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) and Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee) discovering Thomas Wayne’s secret lair. While we’ll have to wait until theSeason 2premiere,“Damned If You Do”, to find out more about what secrets await Bruce and Alfred,TV Insiderhas debuted a new photo showing these characters as they explore this secret area. Here’s whatDavid Mazouzhad to say about how this discovery alters young Bruce’s views on his father, stating that this hidden area is not theBatcave.
“It changes everything in Bruce’s life. It changes how he sees Alfred, the criminal side ofGotham, even how he sees his parents. It’s definitely not the Batcave. What is down there are clues to Thomas Wayne’s secret life and what he was trying to do before being killed.”
SinceDavid Mazouz’s Bruce Wayne is far too young to becomeBatman, it makes sense that this hidden underground area will not become the Batcave anytime soon. It is certainly possible, though, that Bruce will be influenced by his father’s secretive ways as a youth, which will inspire what will eventually become the Batcave. Series creatorBruno Hellerhas already said that we won’t see Bruce Wayne turn into Batman until the end of the series, but during an appearance at Wizard World Chicago over the weekend, series starBen McKenzieclarified exactly when we will see Bruce Wayne transforming into The Dark Knight.
“The last frame of the last shot of the last scene of the last episode ofGotham, whatever season that may be, is Bruce putting on that cape.”
