Jada Pinkett-Smith's Baddest Boss Bitch Moments From "Gotham"

Jada Pinkett-Smith is back on TV as crime boss Fish Mooney on Fox's new Batman-prequel series, Gotham.

With a flawless wig, perfectly manicured claws, and a wardrobe that not only borders on tacky but sets up camp in it, Jada's like a drag queen come to life. And she's giving us all kinds of bad-assery, equal parts Norma Desmond, Eartha Kitt, Coco Montrese and Lil' Kim.

As Mooney, Jada runs Gotham's seedy criminal underbelly with a with a tight fist, though the crime she's really guilty of is stealing every scene she's in. She's serving us fish, but Mooney is all shark—and the best thing on Gotham.

Below, check out Fish Mooney's baddest boss bitch moments.


The first we see of Fish she's just having a typical day at work: running the streets with a side-swept, cherry-red bang.

She's just trying to get her coins—even if that means going upside some dude's head with a baseball bat.

Or a lamp.

Or a chair (and another conveniently located bat). And that was just the first episode.

After beating the living tar out of a man, Fish knows the first thing to do is check your wig. Because she's a lady.

A lady who likes to keep her shit on point because that bang ain't gonna sweep itself.

Basically, Fish is kicking, killing or screwing every white boy in Gotham.

Including the Gotham Police Department.

As Det. James Gordon (Ben Mackenzie) soon finds out.

The only man who challenges Fish's authority is crime boss Carmine Falcone. Someone needs to throw an Emmy in Jada's face for this shade alone.

And this.

Falcone better watch his back, though, because hell hath no fury like Fish Mooney scorned.

Bottom line, you either do right by Fish Mooney or you'll end up sleeping with the fishes.

Gotham airs Mondays at 8pm on Fox.
