The Penguin

I didn’t think they could keep up the heat after The Batman especially given Reeves had nothing to do with this one but goddammit if I wasn’t wrong. I love a good gangster flick, & this is as good as it get’s. An excellent lead performance from Colin Farrell who has entered the running for one of the best comic book villains of all time. Is it too soon to say that? I mean at least the only two I can think of better off the top of my head is Heath Ledger’s Joker & Anthony Starr’s Homelander. It’s so good I wonder if it’ll enhance The Batman viewing experience because at least as far as retrospective thinking goes it really has for me. He feels so much more like a full, tender character when they easily could’ve gotten away with doing far less. We did not need things like an antagonist as good as Sofia Falcone writing wise, yet alone factoring In Cristin Milioti’s dominating performance. But we got it & it rocks. Proving that not every projeft needs to be necessary to work. They better make that fucking season 2.
