THE PENGUIN Episode 3 BREAKDOWN! Batman Easter Eggs You Missed!

[@NewRockstars]

Which live-action depiction of Gotham has been your favorite? Matt Reeves' Gotham (The Batman, The Penguin)? Christopher Nolan's Gotham? Zack Snyder's Gotham (as seen in BvS, Suicide Squad, and Justice League)? Tim Burton's Gotham? Joel Schumacher's Gotham? The Bruno Heller Gotham from the 2014 Fox series? The bits of Gotham that we've seen in the CW Greg Berlanti produced series?

[@DirtyEmpire85]

Ya know, I think the tim Burton Gotham is my favorite, although that might be nostalgia talking... It had a beautiful cartoonish realism to it 😊

This whole the batman universe is lit....peguin feels like sopranos or the wire the way it comes on....love that ole MAX feel to their shows...might need atleast 3 seasons of the penguin if this keeps up..collin is the peguin like tony is ironman, hugh is wolverine, wesley is blade etc

[@jasonking3182]

Gotham in Batman Begins was the best version because it had elements of the fantastic with the narrows, and reality with Chicago location shooting.

I like how Vic speaks more clearly when he's emotionally invested and passionate (when he's talking to his GF or when he was talking to Oz about his family). His stutter is more pronounced when he's stressed.

[@Tevin-MK]

Very nice depiction

[@420highboi4]

It's fascinating because most people who stutter get worse under stress

I used to stutter, and that's exactly what happens.

[@ulrichugarte]

I didn't realize how tragic the flooding was until this episode

[@tyroned114]

All because Batman couldn't solve the Riddler's message fast enough.

[@giodon0304]

I agree with you on Vic's demeanor with the cop, I felt he learned from Penguin, and made himself small, like Penguin said he does while talking to the big Bosses.

Oz had a couple epic monologues (bathroom and restaurant), all I kept thinking was this is the best tv out right now and Farrell deserves every acting award for this role.

[@ericsuzuki8966]

The acting was once again top-notch. The speech to Sofia at the end of the episode had me in tears.

[@Zzues]

I think the scene in the bathroom was Oz showing Vic how being treated like a prisoner really is like, with a literal gun to your head. Oz has been treating Vic extremely well, all things considered.

[@shaanubhi416]

@@shaanubhi416 Not in Penguin days it's not.

[@dakotaskyes]

@@shaanubhi416 he literally let him leave

[@hellfish2309]

Well Oz definitely believes he’s treating Vic well simply because Vic is getting better care than Oz got from his mom or from Carmine: Oz is speaking more from the projections he’s put on Vic rather than actual investment in Vic’s prosperity

[@angelortiz9590]

Yeaaa no, Oz is a master manipulator and the bathroom scene was literally the cherry on top of the manipulation sundae. You never know when Oz is being genuine or manipulative, but we learn at the very end who he is and always will be.

Vic hallucinating while he's selling those drugs reminds me of the effects of scarecrow drug.

[@WhiskerDooz]

JUST watched it and I was howling 😂

[@erichoce8532]

My thinking, is that the Bliss drug we saw in Ep3, is somehow gonna become a precursor to Fear Toxin, which could be a setup for Scarecrow as the next villain. It does come from Arkham, and Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane) has affiliation with Arkham asylum

[@Soul-King82]

I had that exact same thought

[@TemptationsofaRaggedAngel]

Same. I always thought there’d be more to Drops as well. Maybe the combination of these drugs leads to a precursor of scarecrow’s toxin?

[@SalsBrain]

Bliss is basically the antithesis of fear so that totally makes sense.

[@erichoce8532]

@@SalsBrain scarecrow in the matt Reaves batverse would be an absolute nightmare (no pun intended)

[@ther3aper561]

You know at first I was like no way, but after watching this break down and remembering Vic had a horrible, very real episode of PTSD from the explosions, it seemed like it could very well be a side effect of a Bliss contact high. Like either Bliss has some bad side effects OR can be synthesized into a Fear like drug

[@gavinthegoliath]

It has made the film so much better for me, and also worse as I wish they could of shown the true scale of devastation in the film rather than hand to hand combat with incels

[@StLaRizz]

I’m still convinced Vic is gonna become Victor Zsasz My theory is that he doesn’t end up dying at the end of the season but instead ends up in Arkham (because of Oz) which drives him insane In the comics, Zsasz’s parents “die from a boating accident” and he loses everything gambling everything he has at the Iceberg Lounge Vic’s family drowns in the flood and his whole story is tied to Oz (the owner of the Iceberg Lounge) Similar set ups for a more grounded portrayal of the character Not to mention, Vic gets his first kill and then immediately gets a mark on his head 😉

[@wesstewart2677]

That’s actually a really interesting theory. Kudos

you know, in retrospect, building an entire city around a lot of dams & floodwalls was an abysmal idea

[@rogeralvarez9073]

The idea wasn’t inherently bad. It just left them susceptible to greater damage in the event of a terrorist attack. And a terrorist attacked. That’s all

PTSD forsure

[@Day-ZDuke]

It was a “flashback” to the trauma of the explosions & flooding that killed his family. A common PTSD symptom. But you’re right It’s not really considered a “hallucination” per se, he’s reliving something that really happened to him

[@kevinskywalker5539]

He hallucinated because "bliss", made him see his trauma and fear, like a proto fear toxin that's usually made by scarecrow.

[@Day-ZDuke]

@@kevinskywalker5539 he didn’t consume any of the drug Bliss, he was just selling it. Also though, Bliss makes you imagine happiness and your fantasies...that’s why it’s called Bliss and is a party drug It was used in Arkham Asylum to help the patients overcome their trauma by giving them “happy thoughts”

i think one of the observations that i had was that Oz tells Victor to take space and take his time when it comes to the waiter finishing his order for him is quite contradictory when he is mad at Victor in the 44's bathroom and Victor is stuttering and Oz cuts him off. I feel he only plays the sympathy card for Victor when it suits him.

Also, in the end credits, a cover of the song Me and the Devil Blues is playing. The original musician, Robert Johnson, allegedly sold his soul to the devil to become a great guitar player, which worked, but soon after, he was poisoned by a jealous husband. This song could indicate that Vic sold his soul to the devil (with Oz being the devil in this case), and things will not end well for him. Just something I noticed while watching.

this episode was incredibly depressing so of course I loved it. When Penguin is seething after breaking up with Victor. Then what happened to Victors family really shows how evil The Riddlers plan was. I think it would be cool if he made several enemies that day. Itd be interesting to have The Riddler face skme consequences beyond being locked up.

[@dayvie6529]

the background song in the scene with Victor and Graciela in Penguins house is "Switch" by 6lack which foreshadows how Victors morals are changing and he is somber about it.
