The Penguin Finale: A Shocking Twist That Redefined the Series
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Slate
The Penguin's showrunner, Lauren LeFranc, discusses the shocking season finale twist where Oz Cobb, played by Colin Farrell, kills his second-in-command, Victor Aguilar. This brutal act was intended to highlight Oz's transformation into a genuine threat, despite the unjustifiable nature of the murder. The series, set in Gotham's underworld, explores complex characters like Sofia Falcone, inspired by historical figures like Rosemary Kennedy, and aims to subvert traditional comic-book tropes. The show sets the stage for The Batman sequel, emphasizing Oz's rise to power and his dark, narcissistic nature.
