When Season 4 kicked off, crime was suddenly legal and the police were essentially the cronies of Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), thanks to his Pax Penguina criminal licensing program.

Professor Pyg (Michael Cerveris) brings something new to the table of evil in Gotham. He's a psychotic murderer with a flare for the dramatic that has no problem chopping up the police into little bits, if only to show how corrupt they are. Now, with Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) becoming captain of the GCPD, tensions are the highest they've ever been.
Gordon wants things to get back to normal, pre-Pax Penguina, Pyg wants to kill anyone who stands in his way of cleansing the city and Oswald wants to keep his stranglehold on Gotham.
