We decided from the first episode to acquaint viewers with such iconic antagonists as Penguin, Riddler, Ivy and Selina.

Some of the main characters can die?
We shoot a prequel stories about the Dark Knight, but it does not mean that we can not kill opponents of Batman, which seems to fans of the franchise are required to live up to the finals series. In Gotham, no one can feel safe. In this case, I believe that parting with the characters of the show always need a good reason. I’m not a fan of cheap tricks, and therefore will not kill the protagonists only in order to shock the audience. Value for someone to do so once, and picked up this fashion creators of many series. I like to play all of our actors. It would be foolish to part with stars of the show, who are able to delight fans of the franchise for years to come. But in front of the audience, of course, waiting for surprises …
