Gotham: 15 Craziest Moments

7. Jerome & The Cheerleaders (Season 2, Episode 2 - 'Knock, Knock')

This marks Jerome Valeska's second appearance on this list and it certainly won't be his last. Jerome was the epitome of crazy - he was an anarchist.

Along with the other members of The Maniax, Jerome hijacked a bus full of cheerleaders - taunting them at gun point before eventually attempting to set both them and the bus on fire. It was all just another normal day in the life of Jerome Valeska. Unfortunately for him, Jim Gordon arrived just in time to save the day on this occasion.

Jerome contemplated mass-murder like it was a game and that is what made this scene one of the craziest in Gotham's run. Jerome wasn't concerned with the dozens of lives he was about to end. In fact, he enjoyed relishing in the chaos. Sure, the other Maniax were there to help him, but make no mistake, Jerome was the one in charge here.

It wasn't just the actors that shone in this scene. The stunts and music were both excellent making this a stand-out scene as well as a crazy one.
