Another of Batman’s rogues has been added the current season of Fox’s prequel show, Gotham. The latest addition is cold hearted scientist, Mr. Freeze.
Freeze – AKA Victor Fries, will be portrayed by House of Cards actor, Nathan Darrow, in what according to TVLine will be a recurring role. Gotham executive producer John Stephens revealed the following:
“The first time we see Freeze is in December, and then we’re going to be telling a heavy Freeze story in Episodes 12 and 13.”
They also released the following character bio:
Though ferociously smart and eminently capable in his work as one of Gotham’s preeminent cryogenics engineers, Victor struggles to make meaningful connections with others. The one exception is his wife, Nora (casting TBA), who has tragically fallen ill with a terminal disease. Victor’s love for Nora knows no bounds, so as her condition worsens, he goes to extreme measures to figure out a way to freeze her before she dies. This harrowing journey leads to his transformation into the legendary DC villain, Mr. Freeze.
It should be interesting to see how far into this transformation we will see, given that Bruce is still a long way from becoming Batman.
Here’s what BossLogic thinks the character will look like:
In Gotham:
James Gordon, a new recruit in the Gotham City Police Department is paired with veteran detective Harvey Bullock to solve the murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Gordon meets the Waynes’ son Bruce who is now in the care of butler Alfred Pennyworth.
