[@thedarkknight2221]

Cristin and Colin better get nominations for this show! They are absolutely magnetic.

[@beantownbrandon302]

The Penguin is the BEST Pilot I've seen all year. Phenomenal hour of television. The story is fantastic and intense. Matt reeves is a master of his craft. Oh and Collin Farrel and Criston Milioti EMMY Frontrunners‼️ Bravo HBO 👏 🔥

[@AzulApe]

@@beantownbrandon302 same, I went in expecting to enjoy it, but I was sitting there struggling to think of a better pilot from 2024.

[@geordiemc4571]

It really doesn’t look too different from the movie if we are being honest. They did incredibly well capturing the tone and atmosphere of Gotham like the first movie. Even Nolan couldn’t achieve this with TDK after Begins

[@soapboxgames5455]

@@geordiemc4571 yeah apparently the team spoke at length with Matt Reeves and Greg Fasier about what camera, lenses, lighting, etc…they used for the film to recreate it for the show It’s definitely not a one to one but it’s enough for the viewer to buy into this still being set in the same universe

[@billytessio6326]

You assume Nolan wanted to keep tonal consistency.

[@goodguybrian9764]

@@billytessio6326 he means the Nolan movies felt like a city we have currently not THE Gotham City which Matt Reeves did a great job of making it distinct

[@Knight93King]

I know it’s only episode one but holy shit. imagine if every comic book movie TV series had this much gravitas.

[@BrandonDuckett]

I love how Colin Farrell loved the make-up because it was incredibly unobtrusive in it's design. It didn't feel like it got in the way of his acting.

[@kptmaci4979]

Funny, last thing I read from him is how he hated putting it on as it took 4 hours every day and was tiresome experience xD

[@GallantSector]

Yeah, new interview he says he started hating it. He has to wear it for way more hours and days than the Batman filming.

[@stevek606]

@@kptmaci4979 I think he loved the makeup itself (in the sense that it didn't hinder his ability to act) but hated the process of having it put on.

[@BrandonDuckett]

Oh gotcha! I hadn't seen those interviews yet. Thanks everyone!

[@diegoluna2549]

One thing that's been appreciated about Matt Reeves' new take on Pattinson's Batman world is that it leaves less room for a lot of iconic characters who could be quite popular if they were allowed to be introduced. And the Penguin, his first episode... he's impressed me!!! Collin Farrer is great.😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@icywinterof88]

The acting so far is INCREDABLE. I can not believe how Collin Ferrell just becomes this character fully and truly.

[@thedarkknight2221]

I was already on board with the premise of Penguin being like The Sopranos set in Gotham, but after seeing this episode, I’m as hooked as I was for Breaking Bad.

[@jasonmarbach]

Just give Cristin Milioti her Emmy right now 😳😍

[@DoctorFate1997]

Fr, The way she just froze when seeing her brother's corpse and actually maintained that pose for a good while before screaming- THAT; that was elite acting right there... Not like the typical freezing than screaming right away! Which most actors do which is also NOT convincing, like at all.

[@Phi1618033]

Just give Colin Farrell his Emmy now.

[@TheatreJG25]

I can't think of the last season premiere of a show that had my eyes glued to the screen from beginning to end, no hyperbole. First off excellent writing by Lauren LeFranc with vivid dialogue and intense scenes. Secondly, the acting is masterclass especially from Colin Farrell who completely disappears once again as Oz but in a much significant role and Cristan Miloti is a pure unapologetic scene stealer. Finally, the atmosphere is so connected to the Matt Reeves Batmanverse that you can watch the 2022 film and this series right after, it just flows perfectly. If I had 3 arms I'd give it 3 Thumbs Way Up, and can't wait for more.

[@soapboxgames5455]

I’m assuming this revolutionary drug coming into Gotham that Sofia & Alberto want is either Venom or Fear toxin related

[@blaquestarr6110]

The character of Vikc is interesting. He's like te penguins Jason Todd. First with Vick being caught trying take the tires off the Peguin's car and at the junk yard where the penguin was going to kill Vick with crowbar. We rarely see a villian recruit a loyal goon. I can't to dee how this partnership works out.

[@mysticalmaniac2]

It actually doesnt look very different from the movie imo.. I think they did an incredible job of capturing the same feel as the movie. They actually used the same lenses from the movie haha

[@BeckOfficial]

This episode blew me away. It doesn't have the same cinematic quality as the movie, true, but they nailed the atmosphere of Gotham from the movie, and that is what counts the most in my opinion.

[@OptifiedPixels]

this had a lot to live up to but I think it reached that, it was an incredible pilot

[@captaineri.223]

Peakguin😂🔫🐧🌂

[@nestoralvarezmedina5663]

Spectacular series. Thank you very much DC/HBO, for Matt Reeves' Batverse, with Oz (The Penguin🐧) and The Batman: Part II 🦇(2026)

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Adam, Hector and Agustin! 🐧

[@GamiCross]

Even something as small as wearing longer nails can make you 'act' differently. I have to imagine being THAT transformed by that much makeup - you couldn't help but to be someone different.

[@mksongbird]

cristin milioti was the lead of another Max series with Billy Magnussen called Made For Love. was cancelled after two seasons but she was fantastic in it as well.

[@WDFilms25]

Sofia is such a good villain

[@zachmaldonado9204]

It goes without saying she can get it 😂😂😂😂

[@daltonio6001]

I’m bummed that John Turturro got recast, he was so good in The Batman

[@lilstupidahhboy5155]

Recast but it doesn’t affect his role because it’s flashbacks only and he’s younger, so it’s not even a replacement either.

[@DannsProductions]

I think he was recast for flash backs.

[@ericeztli7133]

This was sooo damn good.

[@TheDoctor2nd]

4:50 "Alright...now I'm thinkin' consequences..."

[@matthewheywood8532]

This pilot was fantastic

[@thaIllYankee]

I wish Gunn & Safran ☘️ trying to establish a Dark Knight for the DCU 😬 Fans are gonna be too used to the Universe Matt Reeves has created which, using this show as an example, is really starting to grow on me.

[@poe_more_please]

I would rather them attempt to create their own version of batman than try to recreate a version of the dark knight. If there is nearly a century of material in regards to batman alone, I would figure they can muster something different and interesting - this being the challenge because of how long the character has been the cultural zeitgeist. Also, I like that this isn't part of a shared universe. It's just its own thing. In a world that is MCU, DCU, DCEU, it is refreshing to have standalone entertainment and entertainment that doesn't require characters with their own set of mythos being included. It can quickly become convoluted, and WB already struggled with this concept.

[@BakesKamuari]

if you scan the code it gives lore to much for me to type

[@MM-vp1kz]

Great episode maybe dc shoud stick tv shows

[@Patrick-wl6pw]

It amazing ep Colin actress stronger female women

[@Patrick-wl6pw]

Han tv show cw lol

[@duhistoka8226]

[@Lamq555]

SOFIA THE QUEEN THAT YOU ARE 😍

[@iddqd06]

5 ⭐️

[@BobbyM817]

Great episode. Still a tad annoyed that the creators and Matt Reeves keep pushing this “grounded” narrative though. Just call him Cobblepot you cowards! Give us Mr. Freeze, Gentleman Ghost, Clayface!

[@DoctorFate1997]

7:55 Bro, it's TV.... You're literally comparing a Live Action Movie's cinematography to that of a TV Show's, is that what we're doing nowadays? 😂

[@poe_more_please]

I understand, in a way, because it isn't the same cinematographer that did the movie. Ultimately, I agree with you. As long as they can emulate the look of the movie, it's atmosphere and all, I'm all good.

[@lilstupidahhboy5155]

13:55 yes it does and at the end specifically when Carmine called him nothing but a gimp in a suit, that’s pretty degrading words and shows he was never taken serious, even Batman himself threw shots at him telling him he isn’t who he think he is.

[@nige_af]

I agree, that make-up is impressive!! And it gets SO MANY close-ups! What an opener, I don't reckon I'll EVER get my fill of this Colin Farrell performance, I am HOOKED!

[@puppetmaster8551]

Awesome premiere episode, Farrell and milioti were both incredible and I can’t wait to see more
