Gotham: 15 Craziest Moments
10. Mad Hatter, Scarecrow & Jerome Escape Arkham (Season 4, Episode 16 - 'One Of My Three Soups')
It was always great to see multiple villains team up together and that was the case in this scene as Jervis Tetch (Benedict Samuel), Jonathan Crane (David W. Thompson), and Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) teamed up to escape from Arkham Asylum.
Arkham was such an iconic location - favoured in Gotham for its pure chaos. This scene encapsulated that. Each villain had their role to play. Tetch was tasked with breaking out Crane, Crane was tasked with breaking out Jerome, and Jerome seemed to then assume the role of leader - no surprise there.
Soon after, every Arkham escapee rushed towards the gates. It was a great episode opener - promising chaos would ensue in the scenes and episodes to come.
There was definitely a power-struggle going on in this scene - even if Jerome was the only character in contention. Tetch and Crane weren't too happy about this and it culminated in a great line. Jerome tells them, "There's plenty of time to stab each other in the back later." It's nice to know villains understand their own predictability.
