Just ahead of its highly anticipated January return, Fox has released new teasing info about the Batman prequel, Gotham. As more DC Comics characters make their way onto the television screen, will Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Dr. Lesile Thompkins (Morena Baccarin) discover the "intense chaos" of Arkham Asylum?

In our previous recap, Gordon (McKenzie) hired a lawyer, Harvey Dent (Nicholas D'Agosto), who was brave enough to take on Gotham's violent mob bosses. While Dent flips Two-Face's infamous coin, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) has become infatuated with bad girl, Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova). Everybody will soon end up in the crossfire as Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett-Smith) intends on starting a turf war against her rivals.

In our winter finale recap, a shadowy figure sent in assassins to get rid of the Selina. While Alfred (Sean Pertwee) joined in on the search for Selina and Bruce, Jim Gordon (McKenzie) discovered his gun was planted in a murder scene. Though the children were found safe and sound, Jim lost his detective's badge and was transferred to Arkham Asylum.

As we previously mentioned, the Firefly actress is playing Dr. Leslie Thompkins, a major character in the Batman mythology. Leslie becomes a mother figure to Bruce and there may have been a secret relationship with Alfred. In the episode, Jim will meet with a younger Leslie Thompkins while the two try to deal with a riot inside Arkham.

Baccarin reveals to IGN, "In the first episode back in the new year, of course chaos ensues in the asylum and she's forced to deal with it. I'm not saying I had to do a ton of stunts, but there was some intense stuff that I had to do and there will be more of that in the future as well."

Check out the trailer to Rogue's Gallery  here:

As to whether or not the show will dive into Thompkis' relationship with the Wayne family, the Homeland actress adds, "We haven't gotten that far yet with my character but I think that it's in the works."

Gotham  returns to Fox on Monday, January 5th. Readers, are you excited to see Rogues' Gallery?
