Dr. Leslie Thompkins meets Jim Gordon in new 'Gotham' clip (video)

Morena Baccarin makes her long awaited debut as Dr. Leslie Thompkins when Gotham returns on Monday, January 5th. In the new clip above, Dr. Thompkins meets Jim Gordon, who is now a corrections officer at Arkham Asylum, for the first time. Ben McKenzie has hinted that Dr. Thompkins will be a love interest for Gordon. Sorry, Barbara!

Gotham's Leslie Thompkins will be a bit different than the comic book version. "I’m a physician. I’m working at Arkham, but we’re not sticking too close to the original mythology," Baccarin told Entertainment Weekly. "We are having her team up with Jim Gordon instead of the Wayne family and Bruce. Eventually, who knows—it could go in that direction, but it hasn't yet."

Check out the clip above and head on over to Entertainment Weekly at the source link below to learn more about Gotham's Dr. Leslie Thompkins.

For me as well, she will always be Inara. Even when she was naked in season one of "Homeland".

They cast an even more hot love interest for Gordon..this means NOBODY will miss Barbara anymore since her beauty was her only redeeming quality.

I also didn't have a problem with Barbara but I will admit I would of preferred the original plan of making her an emergency room doctor

i still think barbara should just show up at the end of the season with a baby in her arms, say "this is yours!" ditch the kid, and then disappear forever.

then Leslie can teach Jim how to be a good dad.

Fans of the precious source material, shouldn't worry too much. I'm 100% sure that Bruce will eventually meet his mother figure, on Gotham. If the show gets a second season, Barbara Kean will eventually get pregnant with Babs Gordon.

Finally, a live-action version of Leslie Thompkins!

Up to now, I've had no reason to watch this show. I understand that its another way to attract fans to Batman. I'm already a fan. Still, any time I can watch Morena Baccarin act, I'm in.
