Happy ending PenguinDK managed to score another great goal. Spin-off series Batman Fans loved the film and the ending was the finishing touch. The project served as a bridge between the first Dark Knight film. Matt Reeves and its upcoming sequel. But thanks to his good work, he became much more, leaving episodes and moments for the history of the superhero genre, as well as the history of gangsters.
At Hipertextual we attended a press conference with its main characters. Colin Farrell (Oz Cobb) and Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), and also with the showrunner Penguin, Lauren LeFranc. In it, we were able to directly ask both translators what other characters in the universe Batman They would like to see each other’s faces. And the end of the series already predicts a meeting between Sofia And Selina Kyleaka catwoman.
“Ghost Victor“he’s joking Farrellreferring to that brutal final scene Penguin in which Oz kills his faithful friend in cold blood Vic. For my part, Milioti It’s more ambitious. “I’m very interested in what this relationship will be like. Sofia With Batman. I think you’re asking, “What?” But you can also evaluate how he presents himself. Don’t know. And of course also joker. I mean I wish I could [encontrarme con él] in the Arkham cafeteria,” the actress suggests.
IN Penguinneither Batman from Robert Pattinson neither joker from Barry Keoghan never appeared. The presence, especially of a hero, was one of the most anticipated moments for many. But the team made it clear repeatedly that this would not happen and kept their promise. Although, given the reception of the series and desires Miliotiboth characters will likely cross paths very soon in the future.
Batman’s absence
Regarding the missing bat during so many attacks in Gotham, LeFrank makes it clear why his presence was not necessary. “I knew this was the world Oz. “I knew that we were on the criminal side of Gotham and that we would follow him and all the other characters I created and expanded from the comics on the streets of Gotham,” the creative begins.
“I think the hardest thing that I always find difficult as a writer is making sure that the characters are dynamic and interesting enough to attract the audience and make them want to watch them. You don’t have to believe what they are. to do or think that what they do is normal, without worrying at all about whether someone is good or heroic or anything like that, as complex and real as possible,” he continues. Therefore, the main thing for her was to provide the main characters Penguin its own meaning. That is, without being fixed in Batman.
“Obviously we have the huge advantage of working with such incredible actors as Christine And Colinbut I felt that if we had worked to make these characters feel rich and alive and charming, then it wouldn’t have mattered. Batman wasn’t in that show, and I hope people just didn’t think about it anymore,” he says. LeFrank. Apparently, after seeing the ratings Penguinmission accomplished.
Victor’s death
The most traumatic moment of the last episode Penguin this is a terrible death Victor in hands Oz. An unexpected betrayal that shocks the audience, but which LeFrank sees this as something logical in the development of his main character. “Victor In many ways, this is the heart of our series. And given the evolution OzAs we’ve seen in his career, he did just that, unfortunately and painfully,” the showrunner reflects.
“I think that Oz Throughout the series, in some ways (and this is not an ideal point of view, but a distorted vision), I realized that there is vulnerability in weakness and love. It’s hard for him to accept this. And what he witnesses to his mother before he does to her Victor… Sofia took advantage of affection Oz by someone, and it almost led to his death,” he recalls. LeFrank. That’s why Oz he couldn’t afford any more loved ones.
“Victor saw Oz at the most vulnerable moment. Oz He’s just a broken man in so many ways. And it’s really hard for him to let that happen. In his opinion, in order to come to power the way he wants, there is a level of monstrosity that he must have access to. And having Victorsomeone who cares deeply about him, who loves him and considers him his member – and I think Oz also worried about Victor“You can’t let that happen if you want to get what you want,” creator Penguin.
“It destroyed me when I read the script. I already knew this because when Lauren introduced the entire series, it was obviously the highlight of the journey I was about to take as Oz“, joins Farrellaware of the influence of the sadistic scene Penguin. “I loved the character of Victor, when I read the script I fell in love with him. And I totally understood it, and I was really ready to do it, but it still destroyed me,” he insists.
“When we filmed it, there was a strange atmosphere on set that night. And so it was. According to him, Lauren, Victor This is the purest example of goodness and innocence. All the losses he suffered in his life had nothing to do with this. It was the cruelty that resulted from Enigma’s actions in the film when he lost his entire family. So he leans in very nicely and he mentions that in this scene when he says, “You’re like family to me now,” he continues. Farrell.
“Of course I understood what he said Laurenthat tenderness and vulnerability are the gateway for anyone. AND Oz He knows people are coming. He has worked hard to reach the top of this type of power triangle, and he knows that more people will come to him nonstop. So it had to happen. But yeah, it was pretty brutal,” concludes the anecdote about filming the episode. An ending that fans will have a hard time forgetting. Penguin and from Batman.
