Recent "Gotham" episode guide talks about the arrival of a new villain called Ogre (Milo Ventimiglia).
While Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is busy chasing this mysterious and brutal serial killer, his relationship with Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) will hit a snag.
In an interview with Comic Book Resources, McKenzie said the two's friendship will be tarnished after the police officer continue to fail to solve the case of Alfred Pennyworth, who in the latest episode was stabbed by his former colleague.
"Jim has been unable to solve the case, obviously. Bruce is frustrated by that. He's been investigating the case. And Alfred [Sean Pertwee] has been injured," McKenzie said when asked for more "Gotham" episode guide regarding "Beasts of Prey."
Except for the case of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Jim Gordon always see to it that he delivers what he promised. As for Alfred's case, it seems the problem is not on his end. McKenzie said his character will try to console Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) for the slow progress of the case. However, he will discover that the two Wayne manor residents have been keeping secrets from him.
"Jim goes to console Bruce and basically realizes they are both lying to him. They refuse to reveal what's going on and what's happening. At this point, it's very complicated. While Bruce and Jim have a bond of sorts, Bruce is a little distrustful of the detective and he's hiding secrets from him already, a trend which will only continue. Ultimately, it results in Bruce trying to hide the biggest secret."
Although trust is hard to come by between Jim and Bruce, McKenzie explained they will continue to go to each other for help.
"It's an interesting relationship. It's a mentor/mentoree. It's a surrogate father/son. There's also peer-to-peer because Bruce is so otherworldly intelligent. It's quite interesting and it's a joy to work with David [Mazouz]. I think as we go forward in the series, the bond will grow stronger. At the same time, they will keep more and more secrets from each other."
The next episode "Beasts of Prey" will air on April 13. Read the full "Gotham" episode guide by clicking here.
