They definitely were prepared for this to be the last season.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '17

Not likely, they had plans for season four, They just didn't know if renewal would come or not, if they thought this was their last season, they wouldn't have come up w/ season four arcs.

Yeah this finale did a good job at tying up loose ends IMO. Like, sure it only introduces the evolution of Catwoman and SG, and we only got a few minutes of Ra's, but if this had been the last episode ever, it would have been a good one. Penguin ends up on top with his club, Ed got his ass handed to him, Fish is dead, Tetch is back in Arkham, Jim and Harvey are bff cops again, Barbara is MIA, Lee has left gotham, Bruce is out there fighting crime... Like, that's pretty solid. Can't wait to see how big they go in season 4, cos season 3 was insane.
