oz has clubfoot, just like larys from hotd

[@Bluewolfzer]

also, you guys are wrong about young oz. Specifically you're pointing at the wrong right kid. In 21:16 , oz is on the right of the picture frame, not the middle. Same goes with 21:07 , Oz is the one on the left, white shirt kid. The episode 2 trailer for The Penguin confirms will be getting flashbacks of young oz and the actor who plays young oz is that same kid. Also, no AI was involved in this lmao.

Another great thing about this episode is that we get to see the people of Gotham's perspective about the events that happened in The Batman 2022 movie. Normally in other Batman media once Batman saves the day, everything goes back to normal, we are never shown the effects of the chaos that happened during Batman's encounters with the villains from Gotham citizens POV.

[@jesuswithouttheu]

I also felt like in the Blame it on Mame scene, the underlying significance is that the word Mame is usually used to mean to disfigure etc, and penguin is disfigured in his face and foot so the meaning would be like" blame what you do on whatever traumatic events made you do it" even though it may just be an excuse to do bad things, which makes sense because when Vick asks who mame is, he said it doesn't matter because "MAME" is the same scapegoat for everyone just with a different face and this grounded iteration of the penguin may have been physically mamed by violence in the past resulting in his injuries/disposition.
