Gotham star Ben McKenzie has revealed that his character will don the Commissioner Gordon moustache at the end of the season.

On Monday (March 4), McKenzie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the upcoming Gotham finale.

He confirmed that Jim Gordon will finally get the classic comic book moustache – though admitted that it's not his own facial hair.

"Oh yeah. I had two days to grow it," McKenzie joked. "And they stuck a thing on me and it looks great," he added, laughing.

Fox renewed Gotham for a fifth and final season shortly before its season four finale, which featured a major death, and promised that it will "wrap up this unique origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes".

Bruce Wayne actor David Mazouz previously revealed how he wants the series to end, with every character as their "full-blown" comic book counterpart.

Showrunner John Stephens said that Bruce will "go all the way" towards becoming Batman in the final episodes, donning a new suit as he comes ever closer to wearing the cape and cowl.

"We are gonna get to see him make the final steps, you know? We are not gonna leave anything on the table or whatever the phrase is," he explained.

"There are not going to be any steps for Bruce Wayne to take to becoming Batman that don't get taken this season."


Gotham season 5 airs on Fox in the US. No release date has been announced for the UK yet.
