There's a new Captain coming to the GCPD on season two of Gotham. Michael Chiklis is returning to his police officer roots as he was cast to play Captain Nathaniel Barnes, according to TVLine, on the next season of Fox's show, which kicks off on September 25.

Gotham producers say that Barnes "lands on the GCPD like a tornado, ripping out the dead wood of Gotham’s police force. He is a law and order zealot; unafraid of making enemies – on either side of the law. For Gordon (Ben McKenzie), Barnes is a hero and a mentor, someone with whom he can share the burden of heroism. Captain Barnes proves himself to be a strong ally to Gordon… but one day he will make an equally powerful enemy.”

Gotham returns to Fox for season two on Monday, September 25 at 8/7C
