The Joker is coming to ‘Gotham’

Fox teases the next Gotham episode, entitled “The Blind Fortune Teller,” with a heavy-handed reference to Batman’s archnemesis.

The preview doesn’t name the Joker outright: instead, it cuts to shot of a young man (Cameron Monaghan) being questioned by Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), who lets out that uncanny, maniacal laugh. You be the judge.

As Cinema Blend reports, Gotham executive producer Brian Heller promised fans they would introduce the iconic villain before the show’s season was up.

The episode premieres February 16th. Check out the preview:
