With the huge success of Arrow spinoff The Flash and the forthcoming CW series DC's Legends of Tomorrow, it looks like superhero shows are becoming a major trend. Now, FOX Chairman and CEO Gary Newman has suggested that there is a possibility of that network's show Gotham bringing new spinoffs to the small screen.

He told IGN: "We're really happy with the creative on Gotham this year. 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."
However, he did go on to warn: "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."
This comes after Gotham creator Bruno Heller revealed some more details about the forthcoming episodes of the show. Speaking about the big decision Jim Gordon made mid season two, he said: "He's certainly compromised. He's stepped over that moral line.
"Jim Gordon has made a terrible mistake, which he's going to pay for. The biggest price he will pay is in his relationship with Lee Tompkins. Jim's essentially an honest man, so the need to have honest relationships does betray him in the end."
Heller also teased more surrounding Hugo Strange and the person who killed Bruce Wayne's mother and father.
"Dr. Hugo Strange has a profound effect on Penguin. He makes a new man of him in many ways. Plus: Bruce Wayne will finally find out who killed his parents!"
Gotham returns Monday, February 29 to the US on FOX, and is currently broadcasting the first half of the second season in the UK on Channel 5.
