Gotham Season 5 Premiere: 7 Major Questions We Have After Year Zero

2. What Is Jeremiah Valeska's Big Plan For Gotham City?

Gotham Season 5
Fox

Jeremiah Valeska may have been absent from Year Zero, but make no mistake, the heinous character will play a big part in Gotham's final season. Last we saw the deranged psychopath, he isolated Gotham City from the rest of the world by setting off explosives all over the city (à la The Dark Knight Rises), with the help of Ra's Al Ghul.

His plan didn't fully go as he'd hoped, but nonetheless, Jeremiah has caused mass panic, and a result, he can continue to run amok on the city, terrorising all those who refuse to see things as he does. With all of this power at his disposal, we're confused - as is Gordon - as to why the laughing maniac has been laying low since the city fell apart.

Ecco's brief appearance in the episode saw her check out the city map - a map which demonstrated who ran which parts of the city - so perhaps Jeremiah is laying in wait so that he can claim the entire city for himself. Or perhaps he is merely hoping to sabotage whatever progress Gordon makes in putting Gotham back together.

Either way, Jeremiah will undoubtedly cause chaos for the city once more, and one thing's for sure: Gotham will never be the same again by the time he's finished.
