- —Hugo Strange to Theo Galavan
"Wrath of the Villains: Azrael" is the nineteenth episode of the second season of Gotham. It aired on May 2, 2016.
Synopsis
Gordon and Bruce question Professor Strange about Project Chimera, which leads Strange to send the newly resurrected Galavan to confront Gordon. Meanwhile, Nygma investigates who Professor Strange is.[3]
Plot
Having been resurrected by Hugo Strange, Theo Galavan begins to suffer from shattered mental state, and recites fragments from the sacred book of The Will and Order of St. Dumas. Afterward, Strange met with Jim Gordon at Arkham Asylum questioning him about the death of Karen Jennings and his participation in the Pinewood Farms program. However, Strange tells Gordon that Thomas Wayne was the one who started the program to cure humanity of the great evils at the genetic level such as old age, disease, and death, yet he denies involvement in the atrocities of the program which, according to him, were the work of Thomas Wayne. After that, Gordon gives Strange an envelope with a court order to exhume the body of Victor Fries, but Strange is quick to tell him that Victor's body was cremated. Gordon then reveals that he only did so to get confirmation that he was the one behind it all, and afterward Strange realizes that Gordon gave him an empty envelope. In Arkham's cafeteria, Edward Nygma broke up a fight between Aaron Helzinger and Rudy.
Leaving out of Arkham Asylum, Gordon crosses paths with Ed, who Gordon tells to go to hell, and Ed promises to find a way to get out of there, as no one beat him, though Gordon reminded him that he did. After that, Nygma listens to Strange and Ms. Peabody commenting on Gordon as he could prove to be a big problem to their current plans. At that Nygma offers his help in taking Gordon down, but Strange refuses, though Nygma unintentionally gives him an idea of how to solve his problem with Theo Galavan. Using The Will and Order of St. Dumas which told the story of the immortal warrior Azrael, Strange goes into the reanimation lab to speak to Galavan, but the resurrected Galavan quickly attacks him. However, after Hugo presents himself as Dumas, the founder of the Order, Strange convinces him that he's the immortal warrior Azrael, under his service.
At Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne is informed by Gordon and Bullock that the evidence on Hugo Strange was not enough to imprison him. Annoyed by the bureaucracy of the situation, Bruce suggests that Gordon do the same thing to Strange as he did to Galavan, but Jim advises him not to take that route because he'd end up paying for it over and over again, as he did. He then told Bruce that it would make him more like the evil he was trying to fight and that he needed to be better. Gordon told Bruce to hold out a little longer, as they would work on Barnes, and get him to sign a warrant and arrest Strange for good. At the Indian Hill facility, Professor Strange, and Ms. Peabody watched as Theo watched a video teaching him about the Order of St. Dumas in the reanimation lab. Strange told Peabody that Galavan's mind couldn't reconcile death and rebirth until he gave it a grander context. In Arkham's cafeteria, Ed is still upset about how Hugo Strange had dismissed him earlier. Ethel arrives and asks Aaron to come with her. As she closes the door, Ed holds it open with a newspaper. He realized that Strange hiding something, and follows Ethel and Aaron in a corridor and discovers that there's a secret passage in the hallway.
Down in the Indian Hill facility in the reanimation lab, Aaron is brought into the lab, and Strange orders Theo to vanquish him, as a test. He then points to a metal case and tells him that it contained everything he needed to defeat Helzinger, though instead of opening it, he takes the case and knocks Aaron unconscious with it. Strange then orders Theo to open the case, and he finds a sword, which Professor Strange tells him is the Sword of Sin, though Peabody notes to Strange that it is only a replica. Professor Strange then orders Theo to kill James Gordon.
At a crime scene, Barnes announced the deaths of 4 male victims. However, when he sees Gordon, Bullock, and Bruce the captain approaches them. Though Gordon asks to speak to Barnes, he refuses at first, but Bruce insists and he gives Gordon three minutes to explain.

Trivia
- When Strange discusses implanting personas into the Indian Hill patients, he is seen reading Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. This is a reference to the Batman villain Mad Hatter, who in the DC Comics is obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and names himself after the character from the book.
