Does Julian Rush EXIST?

[@imdiyu]

Maybe the real Julian Rush died in Arkham and not quit the job. Maybe Sofia's father had him killed because Julian thought Sofia was innocent. But, the Julian outside of Arkham, or the present day one, could very well be a figment of her imagination. Our imagination still needs a foundation. And the foundation here being the likeness of Original Julian.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

🙌🙌

[@mrplow8]

I was thinking that too. In one of the earlier episodes when Sofia brings up that Julian left Arkham, he says, “I left because I had to.” Like maybe because he died.

Scarecrow was my first thought on him. I think it’s my favourite theory. Though there are a lot of cool ones out there

[@ScottEDawg]

In episode 6 when he appears from nowhere in the kitchen, Sophia asks him "What are you doing here?" He doesn't live there so, if he was real, he would've been escorted by a henchman to see Sophia! Also, he has a moustache that looks very similar to the one on her father. Could that be a manifestation of Sophia's psyche?

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Ooh moustache great call

[@ScottEDawg]

@@DigitalCharcuterie The moustache is not a perfect copy, but Sophia was in Arkham for 10 years and wasn't released until after Carmine's death, so she didn't really see her dad and only formed the Julian Rush image from her memories. Now, the scene where Sophia had sex (that we didn't actually see) with Julian might have been either a slight Oedipus thing or a way of saying that she is screwing her father over (going against his wishes for the family). Julian seems to make a lot of decisions for her, yet he is ONLY (supposedly) a doctor! I'd say that the Julian Rush persona is like a sounding board for her or, more accurately, a self-conformation device. No, I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I have seen a couple...

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Oh that’s deep!!!

It's probably because Sofia watched Luke Cage and was a fan of the actor that played Hernan 'Shades' Alvarez. They allowed her to watch the Marvel shows at Arkham and she hallucinated him.

Makes sense.

I think the showrunners are playing with us, intentionally wanting to keep us guessing if he’s real or not (possibly for a big reveal that he *IS* real at some pivotal moment like him killing someone or being killed). His character seems more in line with a Mad Hatter to me. He gets off on power & control. Dominance and submission. Not fear like Scarecrow. He displays obsessive tendencies towards Sofia. Change her name to Alice and it almost fits perfectly for a grounded take.

I am going out on a limb here and saying Professor Pyg. Theo Rossi is way too talented not to be. Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone was a stroke of genius. And who knows maybe he ain't truly dead. Or perhaps he's actually Clay Face.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

In this video I mention professor pyg and I LOVE that theory. You know…clayface was rumoured to be in this series a couple years ago. So…

[@cesarZeee]

Umm of course he’s real we saw him takings oz’s mom himself to the Monroe club I think it’s called at the end of the last episode. So if he isn’t real what happened oz’s mom took herself there?!? He’s real he’s just a new character that’s all I’m sure

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Sofia took her there and Francis never speaks to Rush. It’s not as far fetched as you’d think Fight Club.

[@cesarZeee]

@ the one thing that debunks that whole theory is that we in fact saw a real desk with a real dr. Julian rush name on the desk which means that’s physically real so she visits a real doctor in that moment for her therapy so that eliminates the idea he’s a figment of her imagination.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Good point!

[@allofasuddenmetoo8634]

No, Julian Rush, along with all the other characters, are made up and exist in a fictional show called The Penguin.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kelseykjarsgaard5774]

Pretty sure he is real

[@russellscott1064]

Or .. he's just Julian Rush. The illusion idea is weak writing. This show has shown great writing. I don't think this is a viable theory.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Already did the “he’s Julian rush” video 😃

[@MrGriff305-d3u]

Yes. He exists. Perfect creepy dude

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

I dunno about creepy, looks like he’d be fun to get a beer with 🤣🤣🤣

[@creampuff9330]

Nah, he’s a B grade villain, like Hypnotic, Spellbinder, or Dr Milo.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Already did those videos lol

[@rockwellknuckles9425]

I think he is imaginary as well.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

It amazed me how many people commented they thought that! We’re gonna find out in a few days!

[@lavelllucas]

He's either Ras Al Ghul, or he is not a real person.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

🤔

[@Nightman221k]

That’s such a dumb theory. My friend said it and the whole, “he was a hallucination the whole time” it the most infuriating trope. I hate it so much.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

You can hate it but I wouldn’t say it’s dumb.

[@Nightman221k]

@@DigitalCharcuterieI kind of hope he’ll be a mix of Calendar Man and Scarecrow. He has the same first name as Calendar Man

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Yeah!! I did some videos on those theories as well (scarecrow was my first suspicion for him). I hope we see more of him!

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

Anyone who STILL think Julian is a figment of Sofia’s imagination … LOL 😂

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Have you seen fight club?

[@JavierID]

Very cliche, if true. The Boys just did this, as well as Mr. Robot.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

It’s funny cause in the longer version of this video I mention the boys and Mr robot. But Hollywood loves cliches

[@JavierID]

@@DigitalCharcuterie I will say that your theory does make sense. We know nothing about his character and he doesn’t interact with anyone other than Sofia.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Thanks, it’s really not my theory it’s more saw a bunch of comments on my previous videos and decided to run with it and see if it works. I think it could work, I’m hoping he’s connected to court of owls lol (my first theory on him was he was scarecrow)

[@startingover1]

Nice

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Thanks

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Julian Rush is real. Batman is imaginary. Oh? Am I wrong? Well... who's been in the series and who has not? 😉

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MentalNinja13]

Reaching hard af

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

K or not, but whatever

[@purrfitazitgetz3365]

Hmmmm remember the scene where she deleted Johnny and threw the money in his blood and he stood back while everyone else was getting the blood money? He was sitting @ the table but standing back and no one acknowledged him

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Yup

[@Proto34-w2r]

I understand you didn’t make this theory, but it makes literally zero sense. It’s just another nonsense theory that they’ve made. This annoys me because sometimes when their theories just get debunked in the show, they get mad at the writers for not doing it. Julian brought one of those red lights in to talk to Oz’s mom and there were henchmen in there. He’s real.

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

But what if Oz’s mom is a figment of her imagination also? LOL joking I got a LOT of comments from people having this theory so I thought it would be fun to do a video and work it out But man, I didn’t think it would upset people this much lol (not you, in general)

[@julko28]

Yeah it has been a common theory for a while now. I mean it makes sense he only speaks with her and nobody else

[@kenyattacoleman7284]

it's been a bad theory seeing that one of her men brought him into her mother's bedrooom while she was getting dressed before the meeting where she offed Vinnie

[@julko28]

@kenyattacoleman7284 And yet never spoke to anyone else except Sophia. I am not sayin he ain't real but...

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Yeah like I say in the video, every penguin video I do I get MULTIPLE comments that they think Rush isn’t real

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Fight club

[@Brooklyn_Ocho]

This can’t be real…? 😑

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Like Julian?

[@MackLowBreadgang]

He is called The Calender Man....thee end 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Done multiple videos on that. When you watch this video you’ll see why it’s being discussed

[@MackLowBreadgang]

​@@DigitalCharcuteriehe is thee Calender Man

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Already did a video on that my dude. And you can’t edit your video to change my response, that’s unfair bro

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Appreciate the support: Hugo Strange? Scarecrow? Who is Dr. Julian Rush kzbin.info/www/bejne/epXPe4Skmt6ZppY

[@Day-ZDuke]

There has been at least 2 instances where another character outside the asylum directly interacted with Julian ; a henchmen let him into the dining room before Sofia shot Jonny Vitti, and in last episode a henchman opened the door to let him in the room Also, who’s house was Sofia in after getting rescued behind The Icebox, if not Julian who she called to save her? Who gave her the light therapy and in who’s house in that early episode, if Julian isn’t real?

[@DigitalCharcuterie]

Good points and all mentioned in the video. I’m gonna Rewatch fight club

[@argylesmith5005]

DID is a real thing and this could be an exaggeration of that disease

I hope he's scarcrow
