The Batman villain Firefly is a dude in the comics, but “Gotham” has just cast Michelle Veintimilla (“Those Who Kill”) as Bridgit Pike, who will adopt the supervillain moniker.
Appearing in the upcoming season’s 5th and 6th episodes, Bridget begins as an unwilling accomplice to her brothers, a gang of arsonists. But when Selina Kyle take an interest in Bridget, the Pikes find themselves at odds with each other, precipitating the sister’s transformation into supervillain.
Last week we learned that Leo Fitzpatrick, who played Bubbles’ drug-addict best friend Johnny Weeks on “The Wire,” would be joining “Gotham” as Joe Pike, leader of the arsonist gang.
Other villains getting introduced in the fast-appraching second season include early versions of Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange, Azrael and The Calendar Man.
