According to an image shared by the Fox show on Twitter, the relationship between the two is currently “complicated.”

It seems like every relationship in “Gotham” is complicated. The one Bruce shares with Selina Kyle (Carmen Bicondova) is now strained after he paid off her mother to leave.

Mazouz told Comic Book Resources that this strain will not be one that is easily fixed, so Selina will stay mad at Bruce for a while. To make matters worse, Bruce does not regret what he did because he withheld information in order to protect Selina. But his girlfriend did not see things that way.

“In the coming episodes, the Bruce/Selina relationship takes a back seat. Selina doesn’t want anything to do with Bruce because she’s very angry at him. It was a bad situation to be in for all of them,” he said.

“You are going to see he does try to make things work because he wants her to understand he only had the best intentions. But, Selina is going to need time to come back from this and Bruce will allow her that time. Things will continue when they are ready to continue,” he added.

Fortunately, Bruce has his butler, Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee), to rely on during this difficult time. The two are continuing Bruce’s training, but Pertwee said Gotham City has to come crashing down first before Bruce takes on the role of Batman.

“For the super villains to exist, Gotham has to reach the bottom of the barrel. So phoenix rises from the ashes. Gotham is going to get to a really bad place,” he told The Arts Guild.

“Gotham” Season 3, episode 15, titled “How the Riddler Got His Name,” will air on April 24.
