In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, "Gotham" Executive Producer Ken Woodruff talked about the premiere cliffhanger and revealed what to expect in the upcoming episodes. Woodruff promises answers about Wayne's kidnapping will be revealed in Season 3 episode 2.
"The whole next episode will answer that and deal with that," Woodruff said. The short answer is that Bruce is a really powerful symbol and the Wayne name is really powerful. They don't want to kill him because they want to use him or potentially turn him to their side and recruit him. Or maybe they do want to kill him but they're just not ready yet. Their plan isn't ready and they need to buy some time. There's a ton of clarity coming in the next episode, but there are some questions that stretch this mystery over the course of the season."
"Gotham" Season 3 episode 2 airs Sept. 26 at 8:00 pm on FOX. Stay tuned for more spoilers and updates.
