Season 2 of the Batman prequel series, Gotham, aired its winter finale on Fox. Before the upcoming Episode 12, will either Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) or Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) be getting their own "spinoff series?"

In our previous recap, mourning over their fallen officer, Jim and Bullock (Donal Logue) went after the Order of St. Dumas. After faking his kidnapping, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) got the name of his parent's killer from Silver St. Cloud (Natalie Alyn Lind). After Theo (James Frain) fooled the court system, both Jim and Bruce were in peril. Alfred ended up getting a knife to his back after fighting with Tigress.

In our recent recap, it was a massive shootout between the Order of St. Dumas and a room full of police officers. With Bruce back with Alfred, Jim and Penguin took Theo (James Frain) to the docks. After Penguin beat Theo senseless, Jim took out his gun and pulled the trigger. To get revenge for his mother, Penguin drove an umbrella through Theo's mouth. As Gordon settled in with his pregnant Leslie Tompkins (Morena Baccarin), Mister Freeze suddenly showed up to stir trouble.

According to IGN, during the 2016 winter Television Critics Association press tour, FOX Chairman and CEO Gary Newman mentioned he would "certainly be open to considering" potential Gotham spinoffs. But before those live-action shows can be picked up, the creative decision is in the hands of DC Entertainment.

Newman adds, "We're really happy with the creative on Gotham this year," he said. "We thought the Rise of the Villains has been great, and it feels like a world that has many, many stories to tell. We haven't had any conversations with Warners about whether or not they'd want to do a spinoff series. I think that would be an issue for DC. It isn't quite clear to me that they'd be ready to do that, but it's a good idea."

Gotham Season 2 returns to Fox on February 2016.
