In the end, that title was revealed to be somewhat ironic.
The most powerful villains in Gotham took hold long ago and conduct their business in secret.
Or at least they did, until their cover was blown by a major jailbreak.

bomb their creator Dr. Hugo Strange kept as insurance and took off into the night.
Fish Mooney 2.0 was their de facto leader and still is when we see her again.
Theyre on the hunt for medication and are quite obviously desperate for it.
Jim thinks this sounds an awful lot like police work and excuses himself.
But Gordon isnt about saving Gotham anymore; Fish has to be priced right for him to get involved.
NEXT: A very literal Bat-Man
For some reason, Oswald doesnt directly offer Gordon a reward.
Its a hard visit for Butch, whos still lovesick over his Tabby.
Like her comic-book niece, shes a journalist.
), but the newcomer still needs Gordon to vet Oswalds Fish-y fear.
Yep, he confirms.
And if shes really leading that army, Gotham is in for it.
(When isnt Gotham in for it?)
Oswald has one advantage on Fish: Hes not dying.
Jim runs into Fish and her crew raiding the warehouse that manufactures the drug they need to survive.
(Dont ask how they know what drug they need, becauseGothamdoesnt tell us.)
Selina is at the warehouse, too, still playing all sides.
Gordon doesnt particularly want to speak to her, but he knows who does.
The experiments Strange and Peabody performed on Fish and her people are killing them.
Their last hope for some miracle sustainment would have to come from the scientists themselves.
Of anyone, Fish knows how to work the streets to her advantage.
Selinas tip was a plant; three Indian Hill escapees tailed Gordon right to Peabodys door.
That Fish would come herself?
That she wouldnt send enough muscle to overpower the ex-cop?
Its the second embarrassment that week for the beleaguered GCPD.
But Fish doesnt like what Peabody has to say.
The only method the scientist knows for slowing the escapees deterioration is for them to stop using their powers.
And, well, thats just not an option for Fish.
(Its just… Ilikethe new me.)
Marv Fishs fountain of youth in reverse touches Peabody, and she withers and dies in seconds.
She chooses this very poor moment to show herself, not getting the hint that intruders are not welcome.
The escapees chase her while Selina screams at them to leave her alone.
Marv gets a hand on her, but only briefly.
She falls into a water main and Selina fears the worst.
Goodnight, young Ivy.
Even Alfreds regular badassery is no match for this errand boy.
Hes soundly knocked out.
And when he comes to, Master Bruce will be gone.
