9) Fish Mooney
Portrayed By: N/A
Current Actor: Jada Pinkett Smith
What to Expect: Never heard of Fish Mooney? For good reason, because this character was made just for Gotham — at least that’s what we’re being told. Who knows, maybe she’ll turn into another character? Some are even speculating she’ll turn into the villain Great White (they both have aquatic names, after all.) Whatever happens, I love a badass female villain, which is exactly what Jada Pinkett Smith encompasses as nightclub owner/lead gangster Fish Mooney.
A well-dressed, sophisticated baddie, Fish Mooney is all about remaining powerful and keeping her minions in line. Fish works closely with Oswald Cobblepot (well, actually, she tells him what to do), and their power struggle is quite entertaining. If you ever want to learn how to read others like an open book, take notes from Fish — this is one talent she has down pat.
