Casting for Gotham Season 2 continues. Today another Bat foe has joined the fold but with a twist – Michelle Veintimilla (Those Who Kill) has been cast as a female version of Firefly. Perhaps the show’s producers felt the need for the change because the Garfield Lynns version of the character has already appeared on Arrow. Although the shows don’t occupy the same universe, they likely didn’t want to step on any toes.
The character is described as follows:
Enslaved by her brothers, a notorious gang of arsonists, Bridgit Pike is forced into the family business. When she catches the eye of Selina Kyle, the young Cat Woman and the soon-to-be-Firefly team up to put Bridgit’s firestarting skills to good use. But after a deadly encounter with the Pike Brothers, the meek Cinderella is transformed into a vengeful supervillain, hell bent on destroying those who have wronged her.
Gotham premieres September 21 on Fox.
