During the later episodes of Gotham’s first season, there were plenty of teases about The Joker and it looked like Cameron Monaghan’s character will turn into the Clown Prince of Crime. The actor posted a photo on Instagram that got Gotham fans super excited, since it shows that he’s getting closer to becoming Batman’s most famous villain.

The photo looks like a mugshot and shows Monaghan with a big, wide grin. It’s in black and white unfortunately, so we can’t tell if his lips are bright red or if his hair is green yet. The only word Moghan wrote in the caption is “#Gotham.”

In “The Blind Fortune Teller,” which aired in February, Monghan made his debut as the son of clowns in the same circus as the Flying Graysons. We learn that he is a bit crazy, but the show didn’t confirm if he is the Joker. To confuse fans even more, the Red Hood Gang made an appearance with a member who could have also turned into the Joker.

Showrunner Bruno Heller did tell The Hollywood Reporter that season two of the Fox hit will focus on The Joker and how he became the villain we know today.

We will likely hear more about Gotham’s future Saturday night during the show’s Comic-Con panel.
