"Red Hood" is the seventeenth episode of the first season of Gotham. It aired on February 23, 2015.

Synopsis

Following several bank robberies, Gordon and Bullock investigate the Red Hood gang. Selina Kyle continues to bond with Barbara, and Fish Mooney tries to reclaim her position in the underworld.

Plot

A group of five bandits hits up a bank with concealment over their faces and one of them wearing a red hood, stealing from the bank itself and dispersing some of the money to ensure their escape. When Gordon and Bullock speak to the bank's employees, they realize this was a pro job and they had scouted the place last week to determine their timing. Tracking down one of the thieves from security footage, they find the thief Gus Floyd (Michael Goldsmith) dead and his hood gone, taken by Clyde Destro (Jonny Coyne). Meanwhile, Oswald's is still struggling especially once it runs out of alcohol which is sold to the club by Maroni. So Butch uses some cops on his payroll to seize much of Maroni's supply for Cobblepot. The Red Hood Gang hits another bank using the same MO. With the assistance of a witness, Gordon and Bullock track down Clyde Destro (Jonny Coyne), finding him wounded by a third member who took the mask. Fish meets with the unnamed prison manager (Jeffrey Combs) as his boss Dr. Francis Dulmacher is currently away. As the manager tries to take her eyes for transplant, Fish removes her own left eye with a spoon and destroys it to keep it out of their hands before temporarily putting herself in a coma. An old friend of Alfred's named Reginald Payne arrives at Wayne Manor homeless and unemployed and he gets taken in for a day. However, when Alfred catches him stealing from the study, Payne stabs Alfred and flees. Bruce finds Alfred wounded. Identifying the next target, the GCPD surprises the Red Hood Gang who are gunned down in a firefight with the police. Gordon is then told about what happened to Alfred. Reginald reports to Molly Mathis and the Wayne Enterprises board about the suspicions that Bruce had found on them. While the police aren't looking, the red hood is found by an unknown person, who mimics a gunshot at the police.

Triva

  • The Red Hood gangs first robbery is simular to both The Dark Knight (The masked men coming using a vehicle) and Batman 1989 (Jack Napier throwing money at the people and them going mad for it) both involving The Joker.
  • The anyone can be the Red Hood is also a tribute to the Nolan Films saying anyone can beat a hero.
  • Jeffrey Combs who plays the Office Manager of the DollMaker was the second actor to voice the scarecrow in Batman The Animated Series
  • One of the most popular origins for the Joker was that he was the Red Hood in the Red Hood Gang and was accidentlyly knocked into a vial of chemicals by Batman. The young man at the end of the episode that picks up the hood may have possibly have been the young Joker.
