I've completed my review of GOTHAM SEASON 2 here.
As explained therein, the season consists of two separable story-arcs. But the first, "Rise of the Super-Villains," only has intermittent crossover-episodes, given that the Big Bad of the story, Theo Galavan, is not an icon emulation of a comics character. Thus crossovers only exist in the arc when a "new" villain crosses over with an "established" villain, as in the three-part opener featuring Jerome "Maybe-Joker" Velaska, and the episode "By Fire," in which Catwoman and Firefly explicitly team up to pull off a crime.
The entire eleven-episode arc "Wrath of the Super-Villains," qualifies as an ongoing crossover, in which mad scientist Hugo Strange is responsible for creating or empowering such template deviations as Mister Freeze, Firefly, Clayface, and Azrael. (Also, the comics character Cornelius Stirk appears for a small role as an Arkham inmate.) The concluding episode suggests other, unspecified menaces released on Gotham thanks to Strange, but until I've watched the other seasons I can't determine if any of those shown in that episode are later specified.
