“Gotham” has revealed the long-awaited final transformation of Jerome (Cameron Monaghan), who they refuse to actually call The Joker. Monaghan first revealed his character’s Jokerish transformation back in May.

“Various hair tests. Pure green was off-limits to us (as well as the name “Joker”), a decision from high-up as they wanted to reserve these for films,” the actor explained. “A decision which ultimately I respect. They did not want to dilute the very lucrative brand. It allowed for creativity on our end.”
The new iteration of the character will be revealed in the penultimate episode of “Gotham.”
