But at least its for a good cause?
Well, sort of.
In the middle of desperately trying to save his ill wifes life, fans will meet Mr.
Freeze as he works to find a way to save the woman he loves.
He cannot accept death as a fact of life, Darrow tells EW.
At least the death of somebody that he loves.
He cant see beyond that.
That is not acceptable to him, so hes going to do anything to prevent it.
At this point, Darrow says Mr.
Freeze is motivated by saving his wife, as well as a scientific curiosity.
In other words, he isnt all evil.
If he has some range of sociopathy, its buried down there.
Or maybe its not there, Darrow says.
I feel like his connection to [his wife] keeps a lot at bay.
Well, unless you count Ms. Peabody.
My version of him is that hes got a really wicked sense of humor, Wong tells EW.
He has this really intimate and bizarre relationship with his right-hand, Ethel Peabody.
However, Ms. Peabodys job isnt to keep any part of Hugo Strange at bay.
Instead, she works alongside Strange as he uses Arkham to perform his own personal experiments on the patients.
Hes a super intellect, Wong says.
Hes obsessed with a certain kind of technology that changes people.
The way it changes them, it makes them even worse.
Freeze is driven by the desire to save his wife, what is it that drives Strange?
And dont expect Strange to impact every character he comes in contact with the same way.
As for the fans, theyll get to see what happens whenGothamreturns Monday, Feb. 29 at 8 p.m.
