Gotham Season 5: Predicting The Fate Of Every Character
17. Mother And Orphan
Mother and Orphan were two of the many characters teased in the concluding montage of Season 4. Of the many people shown, these were easily the most unsettling. After being shown our first glimpse at the future Bat Symbol, it showed a masked Orphan savagely kill a man with a hatchet as Mother watched on. Unlike most villains, these two seem less obsessed with power or turf, instead just being clear psychopaths.
Though in the comics these roles are occupied by Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain, these two don't look anything close to them. Neither looks particularly skilled at martial arts and Orphan appears to look more like a boy than a girl. Regardless, this may provide a hint as to their fates.
Jim Gordon will likely spend some time chasing them down to send them to Arkham. However, it is highly likely that he will be unable to take them there. Given that Orphan in the comics has occupied the role of Batgirl it is possible that this version of Orphan will also turn to the side of good. As for Mother, Orphan's switch in allegiance may also result in her death, or perhaps even be because of it.
