Gotham Season 5: Predicting The Fate Of Every Character
23. Barbara Kean
Barbara Keane has had a much larger role in the Gotham underworld than anyone could have expected from her first appearance. Beginning the show as Jim Gordon's fiancee, Erin Richards' Barbara showed hints of a greater role but nothing more. After being abducted by The Ogre late in the first season, Barbara revealed her true self when she confessed to the murder of her parents.
From there Barbara has had a wild ride; she moved into the Gotham crime syndicate with ease alongside Tabitha and eventually had a run as the Demon's Head for a while. After losing it in Season 4, she now has all the women of the League of Assassins members at her disposal as she seeks to carve out a territory free of men. She, alongside Penguin, seems to be one of the main crime lords of the series, and so it is likely that she will survive just like Cobblepot.
If she ends up being defeated, it will surely be by Jim Gordon. This will be a long time coming for Gordon, who finally capture his ex who has caused him and the city he loves so much trouble. While many of the significant villains will end up in Arkham, Keane's relationship with Jim may keep her in the GCPD instead, where he can keep a closer eye on her.
