Gotham Clip: Doppelganger Gives Oscar-Worthy Performance As Bruce Wayne

04/17/2017 11:29 pm EDT

FOX has released the first clip from the spring premiere of Gotham, and it features Bruce Wayne's doppelganger -- an Indian Hill creation -- recalling how Bruce's parents died.

Growing tired of the young billionaire (played by David Mazouz) constantly trying to expose the mysterious and secret society, the Court of Owls is now planning to use his doppelganger to supplant him in order to eliminate the threat and run Wayne Enterprises however they like.

After the doppelganger finishes recalling that fateful night to Kathryn, she gives Frank Gordon a call and tells him she is ready to proceed with their plan and wants him to make sure his nephew Jim Gordon is on board with it as well. And if he isn't, Jim is going to be sleeping with the fishes.

Nygma convinces himself that he doesn't need Penguin to succeed and begins to introduce himself to Gotham as "The Riddler." Bullock and Lucius Fox get caught up in Nygma's mind games, while Gordon learns troubling news about his father's death. Meanwhile, the Court of the Owls reveals its next move.

The regular cast features: Ben McKenzie as Detective James Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Morena Baccarin as Leslie Thompkins, Sean Pertwee as Alfred, Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle/the future Catwoman, Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma/the future Riddler, Jessica Lucas as Tabitha Galavan, Chris Chalk as Lucius Fox, Drew Powell as Butch Gilzean, Maggie Geha as the future Poison Ivy, Michael Chiklis as Detective Nathaniel Barnes, and Benedict Samuel as Mad Hatter.

The guest cast includes James Remar as Frank Gordon and H. Foley as Winston Peters.

The spring premiere of Gotham, which is titled "Heroes Rise: How the Riddler Got His Name," will air Monday, April 24 at 8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT on FOX.
