The run for the Fox superhero drama Gotham is winding down.

And from the looks of things the fifth and final season will be chalk full of high-rise, high drama.

Two of the stars, Cory Michael Smith and Robin Lord Taylor, who play The Riddler and The Penguin respectively, were spotted filming a scene in New York swinging from a high-wire as the cameras rolled.

For the scene, the actors were tied back-to-back while dressed in their full and colorful costumes.

During the action, both of them flashed their character's trademark nasty and mischievous looks as they whisked through the air.

At one point during the mayhem Taylor's Penguin swapped his sour look for a big beaming smile as his villain cohort scowled.

Cut! The actors eased off on the game-faces once they were back on the ground

Once the director yelled cut, and the actors were on the ground, they both eased off from their game-faces and waited for crew members to help them out of the high-wire harnesses.

Photographers also caught the Batman villains shooting a scene in the streets, where they appeared to confront each other and then look high up in the air.

We can only speculate that they may have been looking at The Caped Crusader, himself, as he patrolled the high-rises of Gotham.

Gotham follows the adventures of a young Bruce Wayne (played by David Mazouz) and Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) in crime-riddled Gotham City, before Wayne grows up to become Batman.

The superhero series also stars Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock, Chris Chalk as Lucius Fox, Zabryna Guevara as Sarah Essen, Erin Richards as Barbara Kean, as well as Morena Baccarin and Sean Pertwee.

According to Variety, the final season will focus on Bruce Wayne’s transformation into the caped crusader.

The final 12 episode season premieres January 3, 2019.
