Previous Post Perhaps a robbery at Axis chemicals by the Red Hood gang? Also I agree, this Jerome character won't be the Joker. Unless he can hack in and erase his criminal records and fingerprints that are on file, which isn't likely.

Remember though that this is like Smallsville, as it is NOT fitting into comics/movies continuity exactly...

And the writer/creator of Gotham also dod the mentalist, so could jerome be his version of Bruce red john now yet to come?

And why couldn't he by "killed off" while Brice first dons the cape, and in the end becomes the Joker?

IF assumed to be really dead, why not becoming the Joker>

His look and speech seemed exactly how someone set to become the Joker later on would appear...

and Gordan Dr friend seems to be taking notice way too much into things, maybe becoming harly Quinn?
