Heading into its second season, the biggest change that Gotham is making has nothing to do with its heroes or villains, but rather, how it’s telling its story. As star Ben McKenzie told EW, the show is looking to become much more serialized in its sophomore season, leaving behind the idea of introducing a new villain and then getting rid of that same villain in one episode.

　　等来了第二季，《哥谭》最大的变化不是英雄或者罪犯，而是叙述方式，。本杰明·麦肯锡告诉娱乐周刊，这部剧第二季将变成连载的薪水，而不是每集加入一个罪犯，然后破案。

　　With that foundational shift in mind, here’s what else you need to know before watching season 2:

　　做好这样的心理准备后，你还需要知道的：

　　How did last season end?

　　To sum things up quickly: Maroni is dead, Fish Mooney is dead, and Penguin is now the king of Gotham. Also, Nygma has committed his first murder, as has Barbara, who was last seen attacking Leslie. And let’s not forget about Bruce’s latest discovery — a cave full of bats!

　　上一季如何完结?

　　总而言之：马罗尼死了，菲什·穆尼死了，然后庞吉恩成为哥谭之王。还有，尼格玛认下犯过的第一宗杀人案，芭芭拉也是，曾被目击袭击了莱斯利。别忘记布鲁斯最后的发现——蝙蝠洞!

　　Who’s coming to Gotham?

　　Well, a lot of people — and most of them are bad. Aside from the addition of Michael Chiklis as Captain Nathaniel Barnes, the show is adding a plethora of villains, from Clayface and Mr. Freeze to Flamingo, Firefly, Tigress, and the questionable Silver St. Cloud … to name a few.

　　谁要来哥谭?

　　很多人，大部分都是坏人。除了迈克尔·切克利斯饰演的纳撒尼尔·巴恩斯队长，这一季还要加入一大波坏蛋，比如说泥面人，急冻人，火烈鸟，萤火，母老虎，还可能有银云。

　　What can fans expect from the plot?

　　At this point, the plot of seaosn 2 is a bit of a mystery. We know that things pick up just moments after Bruce discovered the cave, but from there, the show will jump ahead a few months to find Gotham now in the rule of Penguin. As for James Gordon? Well, he’s experiencing life as a traffic cop.

　　粉丝能看到什么样的情节?

　　现在，第二季的情节有些扑朔迷离。在布鲁斯发现洞后事情有所好转，但此后，时间跳了几个月，哥谭正处于庞吉恩的统治下。至于詹姆斯·戈登?他过着交警的生活。

　　What about the Joker?

　　Although we can’t yet call him the Joker, Cameron Monaghan’s Jerome is going to play a big role, particularly at the beginning of the season. As a sneak peek clip showed, Jerome finds himself bonding with other villains in Arkham, including the newest resident: Barbara. Speaking of Barbara, Erin Richards told EW that episode 3 will include a black tie event that will end in a shocking moment that she described as “a huge moment for one of the big villains.”

　　那小丑呢?

　　尽管我们还不能说他是小丑，卡梅隆·莫纳汉扮演的杰罗姆绝对是个狠角色，尤其是剧初时。在预告片中，杰罗姆与其他坏蛋在阿卡姆结盟，包括最新成员：芭芭拉。说到芭芭拉，艾琳·理查兹告诉娱乐周刊第三集有个需正装出席的场合，结果将出人意料，她这样描述“一个大坏蛋的重要时刻”。
