The Penguin

How did the comedic relief character in the batman become one of the most nuanced and complex villains brought to screen in this series? not only does the penguin develop its titular character with a career defining performance from colin ferrell but it also fully fleshes out the characters of victor and sofia falcone with equally impressive performances. this didn’t feel like a streaming show it felt like a direct continuation of the batman from where we left off. i guess i shouldn’t be surprised though as the theme of this show keeps hammering home, never doubt the penguin. (and never doubt matt reeves)
