Note: This article contains spoilers for the series (!) finale of Gotham.

After five seasons of incredible – and sometimes frustrating – build-up, last night (April 25), Gotham finally introduced fans to the superheroes they've all been waiting for.

While the climax of the finale was undoubtedly the arrival (or return) of Bruce Wayne as the Batman, and Jeremiah's terrifying full descent into 'Joker' was satisfying, there was one moment between Catwoman and Bruce that was especially intriguing.

Reflecting on an older Selina confronting Bruce over his disappearance from Gotham City ("I didn't want to be protected, I wanted you!"), showrunner John Stephens hinted to TVLine that there's a lot of potential in Catwoman's years without the Bat.

When asked if Gotham was setting up plans for a Catwoman series, Stephens teased: "I don't know that [the idea was] planted. I'd say... [we're] hopeful?"

A spin-off for Selina would of course make purrfect sense – after all, the show did go to the trouble of re-casting Camren Bicondova's role. *insert nine lives joke here*

Explaining the show's decision to bring Lili Simmons on board as Catwoman, Stephens told The Hollywood Reporter that it was actually Camren's idea.

"We talked a lot about what the finale was going to be, who Selina would be 10 years on, and [Camren] felt that she had played Selina as a character from 13-18 years old, and she didn't feel that she wanted to play her at 28.

"We respected her POV and went around looking for someone who both could fill the role and hopefully would bear some similarity to Cam."

A series all about Catwoman's life on the prowl in Gotham City? Count us in.

Gotham season 5 aired on Fox in the US. E4 will air the final season soon in the UK.
