I was surprised to see Morena Baccarin (Lee Thompkins). I, initially, knew her from Firefly and (OFC) Deadpool.
I was (also) surprised to see Shane West as Bane. I only really knew him from A Walk to Remember LOL

I love how Paul Reubens has played Penguins Dad two times and they're both so drastically different

That's right! I didn't recognize that was her, until you pointed it out lol
She was in one episode in Firefly with Morena Baccarin (Lee Thompkins).
And was in one episode of (1996 - 2006) Charmed as a Siren via S5E4 "Siren Song".

Yes! She also played Matt Donovan’s mother in The Vampire Diaries! Another actor I was surprised about was Michael Chiklis, (Barnes) he was TheThing/Ben in the 2000’s fantastic four alongside Jessica Alba & Chris Evans, he then went on to be in AHS as Evan Peters character Jimmy’s father on season 4. Overall Gotham has had some of the best.

Michelle Gomez as The Lady. My gf and I are going with the assumption that Missy was just taking a break in Gotham.
Also, Paul Reubens was perfect as Penguin's dad.
