Gotham Season 3 has an interesting new character up its sleeves. Ra’s Al Ghul, who will be played by Game of Thrones alum Alexander Siddig, will be joining the slew of new characters this season.
Siddig is best known for playing Prince Doran Martell in Seasons 5 and 6 of the hit HBO series, but he will be venturing into a different territory by portraying the head of the League of Shadows for the Fox series, according to Deadline. Ra’s Al Ghul will be introduced when young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) tries to unravel the mysteries being kept by the Court of Owls after the winter break of Gotham Season 3.
The character has already made appearances in other series such as Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and he is a fan favorite villain first introduced in the Batman canon back in 1971.
