Gotham season four is set to unleash hell on the city as a bunch of villains will team up to form a "Justice League" of baddies.

That's according to Bruce Wayne actor David Mazouz, who has teased what the next part of the season has in store.

He was responding to a cryptic tweet from fellow actor Cameron Monaghan, in which the Jerome star posted a picture of a load of DC villains together.

"It's not Halloween. So why am I posting this? #subtle," Monaghan wrote.

The picture itself comes from Batman story The Long Halloween, and depicts The Joker, Solomon Grundy, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Mad Hatter, Scarecrow and Catwoman all together.

Asked about this on The Mutuals (Discussing Film) podcast, Mazouz was not as subtle as his co-star, revealing: "Oh yeah, that basically is the second half of season 4.

"Essentially all of the villains on the show, all the terrifying ones at least, will team up. It will basically be the Justice League of Gotham villains. They're gonna basically terrorise the city over the next 11 episodes."

On the podcast, Mazouz also confirmed that Jerome is NOT the Joker, despite endless fan speculation.

"[Jerome] definitely is the inspiration for the Joker, and the way that the Joker comes into the show is, in my opinion, one of the most brilliant things the show has ever done," he said.

Gotham airs on Fox in the US while Netflix streams the series in the UK.
