With the fifth and final season of Gotham will returning next march, showrunner John Stephens spoke with comicbook.com at New York Comic-Con. Stephens revealed that the villain for Season 5 will be a well-known foe of Batman played by actor Shane West.

“I don’t think we were ever really aesthetic about putting in new characters. If we kind of wanted to do one, we would throw it in anyway, a canon character. Certainly the character that Shane [West] is coming into to play is the character that we had been waiting to use, because we know we wanted one more big, canon character who was going to come in and make a splash, and he does, entirely. But there’s other characters, too, you mentioned Man Bat of it all, or you just sit and have random episodes and say, ‘Hey, we’re going to put Magpie in this episode.’ So Magpie comes in and she does a great job. So there’s more of that sort of throughout.”

Who could the villain be? Joker (though they can’t call him that on the show) Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and a few others are already on the show. If I had to guess, I would go with Clayface. Now, that is purely a guess, I don’t have any reasoning behind it other than he seems to be one of the more popular villains that hasn’t been used.

Along with the new villain, fans will get to see an actual version of young Batman during the upcoming season. While last season gave us glimpses of a sort of prototype Batman, young Bruce Wayne is set to go full Dark Knight this season, which is something viewers have been waiting for since the show began.
