Thanks to a visit to the set of Warner Bros. Television and FOX’s Gotham, fans have their first look at the nightclub named for the female-led comic Gotham City Sirens, as it will appear in the forthcoming third season of the hit crime drama.
Sirens is the new club in Gotham, run by (former?) baddies Tabitha and Barbara.

Who, by the way, you really, really shouldn’t trust with your drinks.
“Those two together are just crazy,” Jessica Lucas, who plays Tabitha, said. “They’re going to get up to no good, and it’s kind of the hangout for all the villains and criminals in town.”
In Gotham, that should give them a pretty big clientele to draw from. Lucas says she hopes that she gets to work more with Selina Kyle, and to act opposite Jada Pinkett Smith, who plays Fish Mooney, and Cory Michael Smith, who plays The Riddler.
“What I really like about this season, is I think she’s going to be purely in her element this year. I think that whole rollercoaster ride has led to this point. She feels like ‘I’ve been through that and now I own my right to be in Gotham, have my club, and just be killing it a little bit right now,’ you know? Literally, killing it,” Erin Richards, who plays Barbara, teased when we spoke with her at Comic Con International: San Diego last month. She further described the Sirens team as “the baddest bitches in town.”
ComicBook.com Managing Editor Lucas Siegel was on set at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn and said that the new set is going to impress.
“The set is fully dressed and being used regularly, with art and set designers still there tweaking things,” Siegel tells us. “It’s one of the only sets that doesn’t transform into other locations on a regular basis because of its elaborate nature. It’s stunning, and surprisingly vibrant compared to most sets for the show.”
As the burgeoning underworld finds itself tied up with Hugo Strange, his Monster Men, and the Court of Owls, what can fans expect from the place positioned as the ultimate hangout for crooks, thugs, killers, and psychopaths? Well, the Sirens ownership doesn’t judge. They are, in fact, barely aware of the status quo changes going on around them.
“[Tabitha and Barbara are] in their own world in Sirens,” Lucas added. “They’re not so awareof everything that’s happening in the city; they’re just more in torturing people and having a good time.”
Gotham will return to FOX for its third season on September 19, 2016.
