Welcome to Gotham, where everything you know about Batman mythology gets turned upside down and both heroes and villains have their stories told from new angles. One such story getting added to the lineup is that of Patrick "Matches" Malone, a name familiar to fans of DC Comics.

Gotham recently cast its version of the character and chose Breaking Bad actor Michael Bowen to take on the role. In the character's description, Fox teased that Malone is "a weathered, philosophical hitman who may be the triggerman behind one of the most important crimes in Gotham's history."

When Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) had Theo Galavan's (James Frain) niece, Silver St. Cloud (Natalie Alyn Lind), tortured to get the name of his parents' killers, she said "M. Malone." So it's likely that the Waynes' murder is the crime referred to in Fox's character description.

However, Matches Malone also appeared in DC Comics as a New Jersey gangster. But what makes this most interesting, is that after the death of the real Matches, Bruce Wayne often used the name when going undercover in Gotham, which allowed him access to criminal organizations he wouldn't normally have the opportunity to infiltrate.

Is Gotham setting up the character for use by Bruce Wayne? Will young Bruce actually later use the identity of the person who killed his parents?

Meanwhile, Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) still has the Order of St. Dumas to deal with, especially now that he knows that the Galavans are really part of the Dumas family. However, Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) doesn't seem as thrilled about the family's destiny as her brother. Will she end up going up against Theo?

"Resentment is building. She's disillusioned," said Lucas to ComicBook.com. "I don't know how on board she'll continue to be [with the Order of St. Dumas]. She's not as on board with the plan anymore."

There's also the problems that will soon arise between Jim and Captain Barnes (Michael Chiklis). Jim understands that dealing with Gotham City's criminal element occasionally means compromising the law, but his boss doesn't see it that way. Of course, this comes from something we haven't yet learned about the Barnes' character.

"And he sees this kid Gordon as almost like a son and the hope and future in law enforcement in Gotham," said Chiklis to The Examiner. "But he sees him going down the wrong road. What you learn about [Nathaniel Barnes] as time goes on is that there's a reason why feels so adamantly about this. It's because he has a darkness in his past."

Gotham airs on Fox on Monday nights.
