Also known as Dr. Francis Dulmacher, The Dollmaker was first referenced in the season’s second episode (titled “Selina Kyle”) and has emerged late in the season as a major player in the story of Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith)…even though we still haven’t got a look at him.

While Dulmacher himself is original to Gotham, there have been three other Dollmakers in DC Comics history, including a Batman villain who bears more than a passing resemblance to this version. Whether Dulmacher is the replacement for Barton Mathis in this continuity or just his precursor remains to be seen.
Mathis, as a side note, has appeared on The CW’s Arrow as a villain terrorizing the Lance family.
To celebrate the character finally coming to Gotham, the social media team for the show is putting together a giveaway: Fans should follow @Gotham on Twitter to get details about an exclusive Dollmaker poster giveaway (using this art) on Monday, March 2nd.
Gotham airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
