GOTHAM
Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET
With so few good new series presented this fall, it’s comforting to know that at least one of last year’s new shows has come back even stronger than before. Young Bruce Wayne has made his way, finally, into his late father’s hidden basement cave. Jim Gordon has been reinstated to the police force in a position of influence. And the villains! There are new ones joining the old ones, and most are finding that there’s power in numbers. Erin Richards has seen her role as Barbara Gordon go from minor player to major, and majorly twisted, baddie. And the new additions, James Frain and Jessica Lucas as Theo and Tabitha Galvin, may turn out to be the most twisted sibling TV villains since Kevin Spacey and Joan Severance played Mel and Susan Profitt on Wiseguy. (Lucas as Tabitha is pictured here.)
