Over the years, the Valeska Twins have become the most beloved villains on Gotham, fully embracing the twisted elements of the Joker to provide Bruce Wayne with a psychotic and worthy adversary. Both characters have been incredibly well-written, but its the performance of Cameron Monaghan that has made the Valeskas so memorable.
Since his debut as Jerome in the show's second season, Monaghan has won over the hearts of fans with his inspired performances. While Jerome, and now Jeremiah, quickly became a crucial part of the fabric of the series itself, Monaghan wasn't sure if the fans would even be into his performance.
During a visit to the set of Gotham earlier this year, ComicBook.com spoke to Monaghan about his two proto-Joker roles, and he said that he thought that he could have been finished after just one appearance as Jerome.
"No, I didn't know what to expect," Monaghan admitted. "I didn't know for sure if I was going to do more than that one interrogation scene in that first episode I was in. I didn't know if I was going to be able to touch the character again, so to be able to have this much fun and to give multiple iterations of that character and then to play another version of this, it's been insane. It's been so cool."
Of course, as we all know now, Jerome was an instant hit with fans. After his debut in Arkham Asylum, Jerome was an immediate mainstay, with viewers asking to see more of him right away.
Jerome is no longer on the series, but his Season 4 death paved the way for Jeremiah, his even more dangerous twin brother, who emulates a more calculated version of the Joker.
