Not even death can keep him down. That is what fans of Gotham will be saying when James Frain returns to the series later this month. Heavy speculation that he would in fact be returning as Azrael was pretty much confirmed when shots of him on set surfaced in a costume that is very reminiscent of his comic origins.

When ComicBook.com spoke to John Stephens, Gotham's executive producer, earlier this month, he talked a bit about their handling of Azrael.
"In many respects, Azrael will have many of the hallmarks and traits that we know from the comics," he said. "But it will have a brand-new twist upon that character; the way we're going to bring that character into being on our show will be different than anything we've seen in the comics."
From the photos, it looks like that statement rings true, at least from a costume and look standpoint. The sword on his back isn't on fire, but Stephens didn't say it wasn't going to happen, just couldn't confirm it was. Take a look at the photos (via The Dailymail) and let us know what you think about the look!
