On the Gotham episode “Rise of the Villains: The Son of Gotham,” while Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) gets closer to figuring out who killed his parents, James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) deals with a suspect linked to Theo Galavan (James Frain). Meet The Knife. He’s described by CinemaBlend as “a Gotham City hitman who does work for whoever pays him the most money. Though unlike Mr. Zsasz, for instance, he doesn’t seem to be quite as outwardly maniacal, and he’ll use his charm and his sense of humor to keep his victims comfortable until he brings out the blade and ends their lives.”
