What do you like most about this side element to the show?īannon: Well, I think something that we’ve always done quite well is pulling in villains and people from real life. Now we’re seeing people with Guy Fawkes masks and stuff and so much disarray going on within England. Jack, the showrunners have talked about a V For Vendetta connection and you could see some thematic similarities early on. Everyone’s jumped forward to this seemingly more settled life, even though, definitely, the world around them is still pretty chaotic and unusual. I think Jayda, who plays her -Īldridge: Oh yeah! It’s Jayda. Is she Batgirl? I’m not sure, but in Season 3, she’s … I think Sam’s eight years old or something?īannon: It’s a five-year time jump. It’s obviously not part of the canon that Batman has a female sibling. I still don’t know what is on Bruno Heller - our showrunner –on his mind with that. Everybody thought it was going to be Bruce, what was your reaction when you found out that Thomas has a daughter?īen Aldridge: It was such a surprise to me to read it. It is wild.īen, Season 2 ends with a big twist with Martha giving birth to a baby girl. And I’m like, “I’m against two people here!” It’s kind of crazy. It moved and it swung for me, and I’m fighting this thing and there’s a guy behind the actor with a PlayStation remote operating this arm. The stunt actors that come in with things on their head, or we had robotic arms that were driven by a PlayStation remote. It’s been great fun watching even the people with enhancements, some of them are fantastic. To watch the evolution of the show from Season 1, where it’s kind of Dickensian sort of London and dark and character-driven drama, to this explosion of madness that is Season 3. I think it’s been brilliant to watch the evolution of the show or be part of it. Jack Bannon: Proto-superhumans … that’s good, I like that. What’s most interesting about doing this show during this time with these like proto-superhumans that are spouting around? One of the big developments is that there are people with enhancements now. Tyler Treese: Jack, five years have passed since Season 2. “Season three of the psychological thriller begins after a five-year time jump: the civil war is over, and a cultural revolution has changed the world for better or worse – ushering in a new age of Super Heroes and Supervillains.”
