Plot
https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/04/25/gotham-series-finale-recap-with-spoilers/
Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City after ten years of extensive travels across the world and his reappearance is publicly announced. Afterwards, Oswald Cobblepot is released from Blackgate Penitentiary after a decade in custody and James Gordon decides to retire from the GCPD, though he relents after Nygma, who has been incarcerated at Arkham Asylum for a decade, escapes and kidnaps Mayor Aubrey James with the intention of destroying Wayne Tower at its reopening. However, Nygma is revealed to be a patsy as Gordon and his team successfully defuse the real bomb. Simultaneously, Cobblepot frees Nygma once again whilst Harvey Bullock frames himself for the murder of the guard who broke Nygma out from prison. Gordon frees him after learning that Jeremiah Valeska, who had been faking brain-death for a decade until Bruce's return to Gotham, is the true culprit. Jeremiah kidnaps Gordon's daughter Barbara Lee in a showdown with Gordon, though she is rescued by a disguised Bruce. Finally, Bruce reconciles with Selina Kyle, who has become a burglar, and later meets with Gordon in his bat-themed vigilante costume.
