Just a few days after James Frain was announced to join the cast of 'Gotham,' Fox has found the perfect Tigress who will assist her brother in wreaking havoc in Season Two.
According to TVLine, Jessica Lucas has just been cast as Tabitha Galavan, sister to Frain's Theo Galavan. Tabitha will act as the lead enforcer for her brother, who is initially seen as Gotham's savior but is actually planning to burn the city to the ground.
While Theo is described as "sexy, heroic and lovingly devoted to his sister," Tabitha is "sexy and violent" and lovingly devoted to a bullwhip. The character is said to get a sexual kick out of beating people up and will eventually become the villainess Tigress.

Tabitha Galavan is a character created solely for the TV show and does not appear in any of the DC comic books as one of Tigress' incarnation. However, the introduction of Tabitha and Theo Galavan has been set up to bring forth the creation of several new villains in the series.
Jessica Lucas is best known for her work in TV shows like 'Edgewood,' 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,' '90210' and 'Melrose Place.' The actress has also appeared in several movies like 'She's The Man,' 'The Covenant,' 'Cloverfield,' 'Big Momma: Like Father, Like Son' and 'Evil Dead.'
'Gotham' is a Batman prequel series that revolves around the story of James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and his growing relationship with a young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz).
The show also introduced the young versions of Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), Catwoman (Camren Bicondova), Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) and Two-Face (Nick D'Agosto).
The season finale of 'Gotham' saw the supposed demise of Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) as well as Carmine Falcone (John Dorman) deciding to retire from the criminal life. It also showed the young Bruce Wayne finding a secret staircase in his home.
