The Penguin (2024)

[The Dark Knight]

True! Penguin ascending to the throne as the Kingpin of Gotham is the hook, and what I previously thought would be the most interesting thing about the show by a mile (including Colin Farrell's performance), but again, Cristin Milioti as Sofia made this show more gripping, and it's better for it. We'll have to enjoy the time we get.

Without a doubt. The victory of The Penguin is the extended form of storytelling. The Falcone/Maroni/Penguin turf war hasn't been explored to this extent in live action and it's being done justice. It makes me think the next spinoff should focus on Harvey Dent and his descent into Two-Face. I think TDK did okay with that, but it couldn't compete with an in-depth miniseries. I think this model (film - television series - film - television series, rinse repeat) is excellent and would be wise to continue going forward even beyond the Reevesverse. Especially if we have great actors who deserve more time in their roles.
