Gotham Season 5: 5 Major Questions We Have After 'Ruin'

Anthony Carrigan's utter delightful Victor Zsasz reared his shiny head in Ruin, for what appeared to be the character's final appearance on the show. While we don't know this for certain, the subtext in the scene featuring the villain's altercation with Gordon seemed to imply that Victor won't be coming back.

Gordon, who almost lost his cool, bid farewell to Victor by informing him of how Gotham doesn't need to be a place run by criminals and thugs, before letting the madman venture off into the wild. It certainly felt like the final hurrah for Zsasz, and if this proves to be the case then he'll be missed for sure.

Gotham's unique iteration of the crazed criminal had provided much of the series' humour over the years, and Carrigan has been nothing short of flawless in his portrayal of the comic character. Perhaps we'll see him again in the flash-forward series finale, when Batman finally starts to clean up the streets of Gotham. Here's hoping, anyway.
