“ | Negative reinforcement. To believe that the Goat is real, that it wouldn't tolerate this ... Gotham wanted that, no matter how painful it was.

~ Dr. Marks to Detective Bullock. |
Dr. Marks is a minor antagonist in Season 1 of Gotham.
She was played by Susan Misner, who also portrayed Samantha Weaver in Law & Order.
Biography[]
Dr. Marks was the therapist to Raymond Earl and Randall Milkie, who were murdering the first-born children of Gotham's wealthiest citizens, doing so as the "Spirit of the Goat". At the episode's end, however, it was revealed by Harvey Bullock that Marks was the true mastermind; hypnotizing both of her patients into committing the crimes. Marks' reasoning: she believed that Gotham's rich were robbing the town of its hope.
She had also hypnotized another patient, Robert Hastings, which Bullock would discover during his interrogation. At that very moment, Marks instructed Hastings to kill Bullock, but he subdues Hasting and shoots Marks in the leg. He then arrests them both.
Trivia[]
- Given she acted off logic for the most part, Marks had no reason to go after families with one child or the Waynes; in fact, she only restarted her crusade after Thomas and Martha Wayne died.
- It's notable she only targeted late teens or young adults, showing some moral restraint of going after children.
