Actor Cameron Monaghan has teased a photo that suggests the return of Jerome as The Joker in Gotham Season 3.

It is the speculations about The Joker that have surrounded Gotham Season 3 more than anything else. And now fans have some new information to satiate their curiosity.

Cameron Monaghan recently posted a photo on Instagram that shows a small part of Jerome's face with red marks. It seems he had his face taken off much like the new 52-era Joker had done. If this is true then Colm Feore's Dollmaker might also be scheduled to come back as this is the character who had removed the face of The Joker in the comic books.

What is more, the regenerative skills of The Joker could also be seen in Season 3 when Gotham returns after the midseason finale. However, there are also a few who feel that Monaghan might have taken his followers for a ride and was just trying to tease his fans. This is because the photo did not give any substantial details about the corpse of Jerome, claims Comic Book.

The photo shows the top part of Jerome's head with only his short ginger hair visible to the eyes. His eyes are closed but it does not necessarily mean that he is dead. Even the expression of the doctor who is holding the sheet appears twisted. Her gaze is away from him and she is taking off the white sheet from his body.

If fans remember Monaghan had also teased a photo on Twitter earlier this month that showed him wearing one of the costumes of the Joker and his maniacal smile. So, is it an indication of Jerome's return and him being the villain?

Well, one cannot be sure but what is confirmed is that the remaining part of Gotham Season 3 will be full of excitement. The teaser photo signals at a thrilling storyline and thus, fans need not worry much. The curtains look set to come down on suspect Jerome.

 Gotham Season 3 returns in January 2017 on Fox.
