Inside the ‘The Penguin’ Finale: Surprise Deaths, Superhero Callbacks and What Oswald’s Fate Means For ‘The Batman Part II’
Inside the ‘The Penguin’ finale: surprise deaths, superhero callbacks and what Oswald Cobb’s fate means for ‘The Batman Part II.’
That final shot was just one of many subjects discussed with LeFranc, Farrell’s co-stars Cristin Milioti and Deirdre O’Connell and executive producers Matt Reeves and Dylan Clark about the eighth and final episode of “The Penguin.” The HBO spinoff from 2022’s “The Batman” — which Reeves co-wrote and directed, and stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne — sets Oswald on a path to success and legitimacy, but at the cost of several people closest to him.Among the victims of his social-climbing aspirations are mob matriarch Sofia Gigante (Milioti), whom he gets arrested; Oswald’s mother Francis Cobb (O’Connell), who suffers a debilitating stroke; and his young protege, Victor Aguilar (Rhenzy Feliz), whom he kills after receiving Vic’s help in overturning the city’s balance of criminal power. The final episode opens with Oswald and Francis shackled in a room together, where Sofia forces a reckoning between them over a pivotal event from his childhood: the moment he abandoned his brothers to drown in the sewers of Gotham, and then lied to his mother about it for decades. As Sofia languishes under the dubious protection of Dr. Julian Rush (Theo Rossi), she receives an unexpected letter from a half-sister she didn’t know she had: Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), who revealed in “The Batman” that she’s the daughter of Carmine Falcone.
