Gotham showrunner plans “prenatal origin story” for Robin, talks Harley Quinn and Scarecrow

November 20, 2014 by Gary Collinson

Last week it was reported that The Flying Graysons are to make an appearance in Gotham this season, and now showrunner Bruno Heller has confirmed the news, telling EW that: “We’re going to do a prenatal origin story for Robin down the line. There are no MRIs involved. There’s an episode coming up where we learn how Robin’s parents got together.”

Another character who has been rumoured to feature in the series is that of fan favourite Harley Quinn, and Heller has admitted that while there are plans to feature Harley at some point, she won’t be appearing in the foreseeable future:

“One of the things about the size and scope and ambitious of this production is that—it’s not that there’s lots of chefs in the kitchen, but there’s a lot of people with opinions and views and inside knowledge. That aspect of the show—which characters to use and when — is a source of constant discussion. And that may well have been an issue that came up and was dropped. We haven’t got Harley Quinn in it. Riddler’s girlfriend is coming up. And Harley Quinn is definitely planned for later on, but so far no.”

Meanwhile, Heller also touched upon the introduction of another DC villain in The Scarecrow, with Jonathan Crane set to appear as a youngster: “This is not a kid being a loony Scarecrow; this is a couple episodes about how that character has evolved—everyone’s character is formed in their childhood to some degree or another. His father is involved, as is part of the [character’s] mythology.”

Gotham airs on Monday nights on FOX. Follow our coverage here.
