Gotham - Spoiler Alert!

 

 Spoiler Alert!

There seems to be no end to the Batgirl references in TV's Gotham.  But Stephanie Brown's Spoiler?

Who is "Spoiler" you ask?

Let's first take a look at the inspiration for this post.  Seen above is actress. Erin Richards as Barbara Kean.  There has been some allusions if not clever little Easter eggs tying Barbara to the Batgirl character.  One of note was the clock tower window she has in her apartment with Jim Gordon.  The clock tower of Gotham was the secret lair of the "Birds of Prey" where one version of Barbara Gordon had set up their place of business.

So what is the Batgirl reference this time?  Stephanie Brown at one time in the DC universe was Batgirl.  Before that she was the superhero, Spoiler.  The thing that connected the two heroes to me was the hood to Barbara Kean's robe as she descended the stairs to greet Montoya. 

Barbara - Batgirl - Stephanie Brown - Spoiler - Batgirl.

Hey, I didn't say it was on the nose, just another little clever nod by the people at Gotham.

What do you think Gotham fans?
