"Gotham" season 2 premieres on Monday Sept.21. After the mind blowing ending of the first season we knew the producers had some big surprises in store for us. Well, after seeing the recent trailers and sneak peeks on Hulu and You Tube, all I can say is that "big surprises" is a massive understatement.
