The Penguin (The Batman) limited series | HBO Max

[ZE_501]

For some reason I get the feeling a Scarecrow is bound to show up in this universe, of all the villains I find him one of the most likely.

Isn't he already here? The creepy psychiatrist.

I hate that guy. Hope he isn’t,
how he got laid is beyond me.

 

[ironwez20]

It'll get delayed. 100%.

If Superman fails yea definitely.

I definitely think the fur coat look is the easy choice for Oz for coming figures.

 

[EVILFACE]

Why did he have to choke out Weeknd like that?

 

[Wor-Gar]

No weakness.

I like the long coat and Top hat. Classic.

 

[Mandible]

I like the long coat and Top hat. Classic.

I like that it came from his infatuation of Fred Astaire.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I like that it came from his infatuation of Fred Astaire.

Yeah, it may seem like a little thing but explaining why Penguin likes Top Hats goes along way to maintaining his classic look while basing it on something true in life.

Some speciation that he’s this universe’s version of Hugo Strange

That would make more sense than scarecrow I think.

I waited until the show was over to join the discussion here.

- I never liked Torturro's casting. I don't even like him as an actor. I hate recasts, because they ruin continuity.

Mark Strong's Falcone is so much better. I just wish they'd made that casting from the get go.

- I also have a question. How the **** did Maroni escape a maximum security prison? On an island? With a severe wound on top of that?

That was really silly.

100% agreed on the Falcone casting

Turturro doesn’t give the menacing vibe that Mark Strong does and which is vital for the character

 

[intothevoid]

What does "LAC RO N" mean?

Only letters left glowing on the side of the building where Penguin has his new penthouse.

Been trying to decode that with no luck but I’m sure it means something

 

[Wor-Gar]

Maybe its the letters that are dark that mean something?

I felt the difference between the two really emphasized Falcone becoming a weak old man. The Flashback Falcone was something to be feared but after 10 or so years he grew old and maybe a bit soft. That really helped sell the vulnerability of the family after he died and their scramble to replace him.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Mark Strong rocks in everything he does.

 

[intothevoid]

Mark Strong rocks in everything he does.

He was the perfect Sinestro

Too bad the script was ***. Green Lantern is the biggest bit of wasted IP in all of comic book history IMO

To some extent yes, but a man who’s killed dozens of women and been responsible for the murders of probably hundreds more should come across as menacing, regardless of his age

The damn thing stuck the landing!

 

[Khev]

The damn thing stuck the landing!

Amazingly so!

Before the series started, I said that no matter how good it is if Batman is not in it I would consider it a fail.

Maybe I was wrong lol
