That is what I'm thinking as well. Hopefully it will get to that point but I wouldn't blame them if they didn't want to show the Joker here. Especially after Jerome.

I mean there's really no need for real. You've got other villains you can play with and even make up some of your own. You're trying to show why this city needs a batman and ultimately why Gordon will fail in trying to make it a better place so you already know your protagonist won't get the job done and joker works best when he's a direct result of the chaos from a city overrun, not the other way around

The executive producer makes it sound like we'll see Joker eventually.

'Gotham' EP On Tonight's Joker Origin Shocker & Honoring The Batman Legacy

"It’s a twist that leads to more twists," showrunner Bruno Heller tells Deadline."The creation of the Joker is a larger and more epic story than people realize, and this show is very much about kind of the deep, secret history. So, as the show rolls on, people will see how a mythology is born, how a kind of cultural mien is created that will lead us to the Joker himself."

"Origin stories are to me, and I think to a large part of the audience, one of the most fascinating aspects of this whole world. You know, to a degree, those origin stories are the meat and drink of this world. So now all of that will become clearer to the audience as this season unfolds. You’ll see how Gothamitself coalesces around the legend of Jerome. I don’t want to give away too much, but the audience will see an organic progression towards the real history of the Joker, rather than a kind of legendary supervillain who creates himself out of nothing."

This definitely makes sense. I think for me, I got caught up in Jerome's performance as he was channeling the Joker's mannerisms really well. Kind of got lost in the fact that this is much bigger than the Joker. There is a lot more sinister workings going on in Gotham just waiting to be exposed, which is what I'm looking forward to seeing.
