The Penguin (Max)

[Cheesebeef]

Rock solid pilot and loved the song they pre-lapped as they went to credits.

This looks good but it’s the show-version sequel to The Batman which featured the Joker and Riddler? Meanwhile there’s a Joker 2 coming out?

The Batman featured Penguin and Riddler.

The Batman featured Penguin and Riddler.

That’s what I was asking. Is the show a sequel to The Batman then Batman 2 is a sequel to the show.

It’s just crazy that there’s been 3 different Joker’s since Ledger.

Pretty much. With no Batman in the show.

This has been fantastic

Watched the pilot last night. Wow...incredible. I love when an hour goes by and it feels like 20 minutes. Not a wasted moment.

episode 2 was solid. not as strong as ep 1...but solid

 

[oaken1]

Episode 3 back on track. These early episodes doing crazy character development

Gonna be rooting for Penguin in the next Batman

I doubt they do it, but it would be super interesting if Batman ends up being responsible for Victor’s death setting up a Batman v Penguin movie where the audience would be split in the allegiance. It would be like a Heat situation where you are rooting for both the good guys and the bad guys.

 

[Covert Rain]

Really like this show.

 

[Finito]

Nobody is watching this?

It’s amazing!

 

[Covert Rain]

This show is fantastic. If Colin Farrell doesn't win an Emmy for this part? The Emmy's are a fraud. Seriously, his transformation for this part is mind blowing and one of the best I have ever seen film or TV.

If this Batman series is really a trilogy, it seems like they’re going the route of making Penguin the biggest bad of all and mastermind in whatever the finale is going to be. He’s def the biggest star out of the 3 actors cast as villains so far and they’re doing a ton of work to build him from the ground up.

 

[Covert Rain]

Damn I didn't see that coming at the end. Wow. Give Colin Farrell all the acting awards now.

 

[oaken1]

Finale was absolutely heartbreaking. damn

HBO knows what they’re doing. Awesome season.

A little late...but damn. Great stuff.

Made it particularly more interesting/jarring since we just finished both seasons of Sugar.
