Gotham Season 5: 4 Ups & 1 Down From 'Ruin'

3. Ecco & Jeremiah's Chemistry

Ecco Jeremiah Gotham Season 5

Last week, we were introduced to Gotham's own unique version of Harley Quinn. Ecco, Jeremiah's accomplice will act as the show's version of the famous Batman: The Animated Series character, and actress Francesca Root-Dodson proved to be a brilliant choice for the role, emanating the precise amount of craziness that we've come to associate with Harley.

With Gotham having created the perfect Harley in Ecco, and the perfect Joker in Jeremiah, all that was left to do was to see the two characters interacting. This would be the ultimate test, because if the pairing lacked the chemistry required for this age-old relationship, then it would certainly have been disappointing. Thankfully, this wasn't the case at all, as the two characters lit up the screen together, thanks to the sublime chemistry between Root-Dodson and Cameron Monaghan.

Watching the two dance together was undoubtedly exhilarating for die-hard Batman fans, and it was also a scene incredibly reminiscent of something we would've seen in Batman: The Animated Series. At the same time, there were shades of Jack Nicholson in Jeremiah too, as he paraded his girlfriend around for all to see.
