During today's Gotham panel at Wizard World New Orleans, Ben McKenzie revealed to the audience that the show has much more in store for Barbara Kean (Erin Richards), who's at the moment, in a coma.

"She's in a coma, and in Gotham that means she's very much alive and she's coming back," McKenzie said to the attendees and live on ConTV. "And they have a very complicated relationship, which we've only really begun to explore. There's a lot more to come."
