Yesterday, Fox announced that Gotham was renewed for a second season. The ratings have been very good throughout the season and one of the key factors to the show's success has got to be Robin Lord Taylor's portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin. He's become the breakout star of the series. It's fun tuning in each week to see how this low-level psychopath moves up the ranks by manipulating Gotham's underworld.

We're not the only ones taking notice of Taylor's fine performance as Danny DeVito, who played The Penguin in Tim Burton's Batman Returns (1992), has praises Taylor as well. "I've watched the show. I think he's a very good young Penguin," DeVito told Access Hollywood. "He's a terrific actor."

Access Hollywood also asked DeVito if he had any interest in playing a role in Gotham. "I don't know about that," DeVito replied. "Again, it's all about the schedules and the parts and like how the thing is written and what it would be and there are so many particulars."

Gotham airs Monday, January 19th at 8:00 p.m. on FOX.
