[@icywinterof88]

I love what a character Gotham is. Someone says "the city took em" and no one blinks an eye. That is stupendous

[@Im_Just_Dan]

Very true. On that note, I think Oz killed his brothers. I believe he killed his brothers in the Pain and Prejudice comic. Would make sense here, I think.

[@fairysquadmom]

Did you guys notice Sofia peeping the ring on Sal's finger? She doesnt know the entire situation when it comes to her brother, she noticed the fingers missing and now he conveniently has the ring. I find that so interesting.

[@thezx5795]

Yeah she's totally gonna try to kill him and take over

[@doc8013]

Oz’s dad was clearly Rex Calabrese. The way he worships Rex, the fact that his mom knows all the information about the mob families, the way Oz reacted when Sofia’s brother laughed at him for wanting to be like Rex, how Oz got his chance as a driver then Carmine kept him around when Pinchy got popped… it just makes sense that his dad was Calabrese

[@typicaljack2395]

Fun fact Adam (I think you were the one who mentioned grabbing the Penguin's from the Zoo), but when Oz is telling Eve about the hideout in Crown Point he says "Vic's got us a spot next to the Zoo", meaning Matt Reeves' decided to put Gotham Zoo in Crown Point so it could be above the Penguin lair as an homage to Devito's Penguin!! How cool!!! Lauren LeFranc has laughed and said cryptically in interviews that Matt Reeves would leave notes saying add this detail and use this name and details about locations she needed to use and names of locations. This was definitely one of those!

[@typicaljack2395]

Also just realised but the Zoo is frozen over and run down in Batman Returns. Crown Point just got destroyed by the flood and it's about to be snowing so in The Batman Part II the zoo will be destroyed and frozen over too!!!

[@kptmaci4979]

@@typicaljack2395 Would be cool if he put up his own new Iceberg Lounge there in memory of his old spot, which is now destroyed as far as I can tell. Could be as easy switch in new batman movie as Oz saying "how do you like new Iceberg Lounge?". Seeing some actual penguins there could be some real surreal moment though xD I would love if they had an opening in those tunnels leading to the surface, where snow could fall. Making it realistic, but also comic-accurate in a fun way

[@typicaljack2395]

@@kptmaci4979 I think he will get a new club by the final episode, he mentioned it to Eve in 1 or 2 and this show so far pays off every little line in some way. A realistic version of the penguins could happen because he's about to get real comic-y. Reeves said the show gets him to a point where he becomes a lot more like the comic version of the character for the second film.

[@Marthentic]

The Penguin is a proper HBO show. it demands the weekly prestige time slot like a Sopranos, Succession or Game Of Thrones. Them not treating it like "Just a spin-off" is a great look and make the show overall feel important. On top of it being a damn near flawless show also helps.

[@kazetoame]

I’m going to disagree with you on release schedules. Releasing it weekly keeps the show in the conversation, releasing all at once has a tendency to have the show just disappear within two weeks of the release.

How did this reaction become a Joker rant?! It's impressive how Hector hasn't even seen the second movie but has opinions like he was part of the production team. The first Joker is still a great movie, it should've been a standalone movie but the studio and the fans demanded a second one and Todd Phillip (who didn't want to so a second one at first) gave us a bad sequel, doesn't change the quality of the first one. I feel like people had the wrong expectations for Joker, it wasn't meant to be a big, mainstream story or universe, it was imagined as a single, more arthousy movie. People confused it with what Reeves planned for his Batman, a dark take on a universe, but that's not Phillips' mistake. Making a sequel was a bad idea, When announced I was annoyed by it immediatly, only when they talked about it as a musical it got interesting again, but in the end the studio should have kept it a standalone movie. I have no idea what that has to do with the Penguin show, but here we are.
