Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for last night’s episode of Gotham.
Well, we didn’t see that coming. Shortly after Gotham introduced Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) last season—and almost immediately after he let out his first laugh—people began speculating that this guy might be the show's Joker. (Just look at that face and try to say they were wrong for thinking that.) That theory got completely ethered last night when Jerome, after taking over a children's hospital fundraiser for some Bad Guy Gun Play Theater (above), got stabbed in the neck by villain-posing-as-hero Theo Galavan (James Frain). Sorry Jerome, looks like you’re not going to be a maniacal supervillian after all.
