To be a Gotham City Penguin, you must have no weaknesses. Or at least know how to hide them well.
And finally we reached the end of this wonderful and unique adventure that was destined for us max(and Vodafone TV in Greece) through the series The Penguin. For 8 episodes we’ve seen Oswalt’s Jackpot grow bigger day by day, so much so that we’re complaining it didn’t last longer.
Is ‘The Penguin’ better than ‘The Batman‘ already?
The point is that the Penguin by Collin Farrell it has penetrated so deeply into our psyches that we will have a hard time seeing it “fall” from the hands of the Dark Knight when the time comes for their duel.
After all, the last scene of the series - don’t expect to see Batman - prepared us for it The Batman: Part IIwhen will that moment come.
There is only one mother
From the beginning of the series we understood that Oswald has a great weakness for his mother, which is particularly strange to us, especially if we consider that she always takes the oil from him and acts as an obstacle, but for him he has her. encourage. It’s because he wants to rise to the top and give her everything she deserves, and she has blind faith in her son’s abilities, especially since he is the only one of her three children with to live
Theo Rossi what is your role in ‘The Penguin’?
However, this blind respect that we thought Francis Cobblepot had for him hides an incredible shame and hatred, which she knows that the death of her other two children is the result of the pathological love of the little Oz, whom she wanted only her. .
That’s what Sofia Gigante will try to reveal in the series finale, but Penguin isn’t about to let his “motivation” slip now that he’s so close to achieving the empire he’s always wanted.
Is Sofia Falcone the real star of ‘The Penguin’?
But he knows that in order to achieve this, he must have no weaknesses, even if it means that he will have to make the most “tough” decisions, so ruthless that only a crime Kingpin can do. Or a man who isn’t afraid to mess with anyone.
And now Batman
After ending his relationship with Sofia Gigante, people no longer hear “Penguin” and laugh, but then respect and fear.
Without Falcone and Maroni, only one can be stopped. But that will happen in October 2026 in The Batman: Part II. Unless he is preparing another series of it Batman’s Bet the Matt Reeves. And we have no problem with that.
