Michelle Gomez is swapping all of time and space for just one specific place, namely Gotham, where she’ll be playing a mysterious character called The Lady.

Gomez will appear in the next episode, A Bitter Pill to Swallow, which airs on Monday November 16th stateside on Fox.  Staring alongside son of former Time Lord Jon Pertwee, Sean Pertwee (who play’s young Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred), Gomez took to Twitter to reveal just The Lady will look like.

The show focuses on young Bruce Wayne growing up in Gotham City just some familiar rogues begin their own rise to power – the second season, which goes under the title Rise of the Villains, includes younger versions of well-known villains such as The Joker, The Riddler, Penguin, Catwoman and Harvey Dent.

Little is known about The Lady but, if we were locked in an interrogation room with Batman and he’d just slammed our head on the table, we’d put our money on her being Lady Vic – an assassin who is descended from a line of wealthy English aristocratic mercenaries (and let’s face it, you can’t walk down Regent Street without bumping into at least 12 of those) who wields the heirlooms of her descendants trade.

Speaking to the Metro, Gomez confirmed that she was involved in the show with the suggestion that it may be more than a one shot appearance.
