What would Gotham city be without Arkham Asylum? A decent place to live maybe, but not that exciting. Well this week Fox’s Batman prequel takes us to the crazy house. Check out the plot preview below to see what is in secrets this series house, holds. Speaking of serious secrets, fans of The Walking Dead beware. Gotham’s own Robin Lord Taylor (The Penguin) was just killed off from the zombie series.
The official plot synopsis for tonight’s all new episode, titled, “Arkham,” reads:
“Gordon and Bullock act quickly to protect members of the Arkham city council as they prepare for a dangerously controversial vote. Meanwhile, Gordon gets a visit from an old friend.”
The show’s breakout star, Robin Lord Taylor, was recently killed off during last night’s episode of Walking Dead. Good thing we don’t have to worry about tuning into that overhyped melodrama to catch Taylor in actor. Taylor recently spoke to reporters about how he landed the role of the Penquin:
(via Comic Book Resources):
"The roll, I auditioned for blindly. It was a fake scene they wrote with fake character names. I wasn't told the name of the project. It wasn't until I was going in -- the night before -- when my agent called me and said, 'Oh by the way, this is a young Penguin and the origin story of Batman.' I was like 'Okay!' But I'd already prepared, so I just went in and did my thing, and it worked out for once. And when I read the script, it all came together in such a brilliant way. The pilot script was one of the best ones I ever read.”
Taylor went on to discuss his inspirations for the character:
"When I look at past Penguin performances like Burgess Meredith and Danny DeVito, the thing I walk away with is the sheer glee and fun that they bring to this sadistic person. This is a very dark show that deals with dark themes, but I still love those moments where he missteps. You watch him grow and develop in front of you. It would be a disservice to the character if you started out and he knew exactly what he was doing."
Check out the all new episode of Gotham tonight at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.
