The show is wrapping up its five-season run starting early in 2019, concluding the tale of a young cop (and future Commissioner), James Gordon. The 100th episode milestone means the show is eligible to live on in syndication in other networks.

It’s also been confirmed that actor Shane West’s character “Eduardo Dorrance” is actually none other than the back-breaking villain Bane, and in fact will end up inflicting his trademark injury on one of the characters in the series. Finally, it was confirmed that the series finale for the show will leap ahead ten years in the future, featuring Bruce Wayne’s final transformation into Batman!
