Gotham sings. 'And the mobs that once controlled me, can't GET to me AT ALL'. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know... WELL NOW THE KNOOOOOOOW!"
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Just finished the Ogre story arc and it's a lot more satisfying and makes a lot more sense if you see it as a deconstruction of Fifty Shades of Grey

Do we need to deconstruct 50 Shades though? It's pretty much acknowledged that wretched. It's like taking pot shots at Twilight.

Someone should make an Ogre MV with this song
(Feeling Good is an important theme in Fifty Shades, and Muse's, er, music, was a main inspiration of Stephanie Meyer's).
For similar characters and plots, you may also want to look up Great Expectations, Yesterday, and Jojos Bizarre Adventure, among others.
Maybe we have a trope on our hands? Secret Rich Sadist?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I think Bitch In Sheep's Clothing or Wolf In Sheep's Clothing already cover that.

This kinda goes beyond just being a bitch, man. But that's a discussion for YKTTW.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I'm sorry but, this is the version I first listened to, part of a trailer for the game Saboteur which, unfortunately, was the last game of its studio IIRC.
Though I confess that Muse's version isn't bad.
I've got that kneejerk desire to hear either one of these used in the show somewhere.

Make it the season's OP to Penguin's Kingdom.
That would be a good name for an anime.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Well, this is the last place I expected to see someone bring up Nina Simone.
Not that I'm complaining.

Jerome and Barbara will meet and form a connection in Arkham.
Someone on the writing team has obviously been playing Arkham City recently.
Or in other words, Azrael and Calendar Man confirmed.

I'll only allow it if it's a Doctor Who crossover.

This is a signature.
Oh, so he does get an official love interest, other than Cat.
This is a signature.
Well there was an old man who took a super-drug and tossed Bullock down a hallway.
Zatanna's had appearances where she just had stage magic (Animated Series, I think), so they could get away with not having her perform magic. Even so, I wouldn't mind Selina Kyle (two or three seasons down the line) making reference to having 'nine lives'.
One thing we've got to remember is that, despite how down-to-earth everything is here (as foreshadowed with Nygma's last scene), Gotham, which is already a crusted sphincter to the underworld, will soon be populated by superhuman assassins and costumed crazies three times worse than the crime families that once controlled it.
