Here's my FULL Penguin Episode 2 video and Batman References. Post all your reactions in the comments! Here's my new Venom The Last Dance Trailer video too! th-cam.com/video/mxsjIgdBfX0/w-d-xo.html
Theory, we know from The Batman that Carmine had a habit of strangling women. What if Sofia was covering for Carmine by tampering with the bodies of his victims to make it look like they hung themselves. Because the bodies were tampered with Carmine couldn’t be prosecuted and because they were dead before Sofia hung them she couldn’t be tried for the murders, but that is how she got the nickname and ended up at Arkham ?
He doesn't want anyone to be able to leverage him and wants the people close to him to stay safe... in her condition his mom can't be trusted not to mention him if she were in a facility and then she could be a target (or give up information unintentionally) That his girl is a working girl also follows... from the outside he's just a customer so there's nothing to leverage
Colin Ferral is absolutely killing it. This show is not what I expected, it's better! His speech by the grave about adapting....I said this guy has it.
@@JamesHightower18 I could see becoming victor zasz if he keeps hanging around penguin, I just don’t want that to happen… which makes me think it is gonna happen lol
With this and the Batman movie being so good. I wish it was the main DCU. The Batman movie and this series should be the lowest level allowed and better than this. Nothing made should be allowed to be less then.
I am so invested in victor’s journey. He reminds me of my little brother, I just want the ladd to not get chewed up in this life and live a good normal life lol
I don't think so at all. Episode 2 was almost the same as episode 1! Penquin gets in trouble and needs his new sidekick to help him but this time the side kick messes up. And I understand that Oz mother suffer's from dementia but is she gonna wear that same dress every time we see her. Was she a Batman villain at one time?
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed the November 2022 date on the Falcone tomb. Literally picking up right after the events of the first movie. No time jump to present day. The Penguin is an absolute masterpiece. Can’t wait for The Batman 2!
There's a lot of inspiration from the Sopranos, the scene with him fighting the guy in the car in episode one where he gets hit by the bus was a homage to The Sopranos when Tony had the same thing happen to him.
Absolutely Colin Ferrell’s penguin is truly so menacing and just extremely serious But damn this episode was just outrageously great Really liking how this show has been handling
I’d like to see him make his version of the Iceberg lounge that really looks like the comic one or better like the one from the Arkham City game that would be pretty awesome
But what Gunn is going to do has nothing to do with this.... you can tell he doesn't have his mits on this one. The Reevesverse is turning out to be on the level or better than what Chris Nolan did.
I really like the Sofia Falcone writing. She's vicious but highly intelligent and calculating, while simultaneously being compromised and psychologically fragile. Just a deep character, well done, and extremely well-acted by Cristin Milioti.
I’ve only just clocked who it is playing Sofia falcone.. never seen whatshername in anything serious. Only comical roles, wow. 👏🏼👍🏼. Colin is epic in everything, and has always had amazing range. But I think she’s killing her portrayal of Sofia so far too 🔥
I just hope they keep the same quality of production & care & attention to detail as the first one and this show. If they keep refusing to cut corners & keep everything fresh and real like they have then we’re in for another treat! Nolan really set the bar for sequels in DC though…
Reminds me of Captain Cold in the Flash. "There are only four rules you need to remember: make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan."
Just gotta say... Cristin Milioti as Sophia Falcone in Penguin is like... a spitting image of Talia Shire as Adrian in Rocky. They look so similar. It's uncanny!
There were so many Easter eggs and references to so many things in the comic book that I couldn't keep up. And all I could say after the episode was, "I sure am glad that I don't have Charlie's job!" You have a very great and admirable talent.
I think my biggest crossover moment will be a guest feature from Charlie getting invited to be on one of these shows for a scene. And of course he’ll be pointing out an Easter egg in the episode some super meta 4th wall thing lol
I believe the penguin is going to do unspeakable things by the conclusion of the series and this will set him up perfectly as the next villain of Batman. So far, we as the audience kind of like him and understand him. You can’t have that for the next Batman movie unless the Penguin won’t be introduced as the main villain yet again. Quite possibly, the death of his mother will set him off big time. Victor is for sure going to be one of Penguins victims by the end.
Everything up to this episode has been really done well, even Penguin engaging in shootouts throughout the series(despite Batman not showing up or even paying any mind to it😅)
Can we just give this team DC and let them mastermind everything going forward. This is IT, The One, this is Batman. Colin is absolutely brilliant in this. I need 10 seasons. Matt Reeves has said he didn't want to do an origin story BUT he is. He's showing us THE STORIES origin, that old school Batman story from his early days the noir stories with intrigue and suspense. It's done really well.
4:02 I thought it was just a man in glasses yelling. Which to me awfully resembles the riddler from the first movie. I thought it was a cool call back to the Batman movie
Sophia sleeping in her closet reminded me of a time when I was having the worse migraine and my walk in closet was the most comfortable quiet dark place that I could find some sort of relief.
How did the Riddler and Cat Woman come out SO unbelievably cringe and yet they NAILED the Penguin to an iconic level??? Even Batman was godawful in the movie. This show is better than anything this universe will ever offer. I actually don’t care to see him cross paths with the film characters Also the twinge of unstable insanity in Sophia’s eyes and face is so unsettling in such a perfect way
The episode was pretty solid I still loved the crime boss family dynamic including Oz, Sofia, and Viti including Maroni v Falcone so Oz jus playing with both sides I really can’t wait to see other crime families come into the show to build out the universe of the Bat-Verse so I’m hyped for more The Penguin I loved Vic and Oz dynamic plus Sofia is such an interesting character I can’t wait to see more of him! Can’t wait for more DCU updates!
The whole cast is amazing so far, but aside from the obvious example of Colin Ferral, Cristin Milioti is probably my favorite actor in the show. She is absolutely perfect for Sofia, and someone should call the cops on her because she is KILLING it 😅
I was thinking Alberto was the one responsible for the Hangman deaths, or maybe Carmine did one or two with Alberto doing the rest It just seems like Sophia has a very unique and strong bond with Alberto, I could see her taking the blame not only to save him, but she knows she would need his help to take over the family together in the future

"And that, kids, is how I met your mother." 🐧
anyone else think the new drug they are talking about is scarecrow gas.

He's been great so far!
Reminded me of Tony sopranos speech in therapy at the pilot of the show
His is winning an Emmy for this
Colin Farrell :-)
I love his portrayal of Penguin because he maneuvers so well but I be so scared for Victor 😭
Yeaaa! Victor is one of my favorite characters I don’t want his story to end badly 😭
No way it won't 😢@@ezshottah3732
@@ezshottah3732 my heart stops every time I think it’s over for him
I don’t think he’ll be dying any time soon, a lot of people seem to think he’s actually victor zsasz
@@JamesHightower18 I could see becoming victor zasz if he keeps hanging around penguin, I just don’t want that to happen… which makes me think it is gonna happen lol
This is how the DC SHOULD BE!!!
It's been solid so far! My Episode 3 video will post next week!
Much like with comics, there's always room for many sides of DC in tv and film.
With this and the Batman movie being so good. I wish it was the main DCU. The Batman movie and this series should be the lowest level allowed and better than this. Nothing made should be allowed to be less then.
The episode sucked
RIGHT!!!
Oz playing both sides like Walter White and we’re only on episode 2 😂
Year, BB is the GOAT
The cast is as good as it gets.
This how comic shows should be done. A show with character development and detailed plots!
Ali-pp3pp, a shame ign doesn't think so
The penguin series is killing it
Yep!
killing what?
I swear Oz needs a break he’s on the brink on being killed
Colin Ferral should get an Oscar for his performance on this show.
TV shows don't get ocar awards or nominations, it's just Emmys for them.
He may get one in the next Batman movie 2026
I hope this show can stick the landing because I’m hooked.
I am so invested in victor’s journey. He reminds me of my little brother, I just want the ladd to not get chewed up in this life and live a good normal life lol
Would be cool if he switches sides in the end, and becomes the next robin. Setting up robin vs penguin in the batman 2/3
bro if you feel like that u gotta toughen your brother up save him the pain
IGN should really fire the guy who gave this a 5/10. It’s embarrassing at this point
Nobody trusts IGN anymore. That platform been cooked a long time ago.
I don't think so at all. Episode 2 was almost the same as episode 1! Penquin gets in trouble and needs his new sidekick to help him but this time the side kick messes up. And I understand that Oz mother suffer's from dementia but is she gonna wear that same dress every time we see her. Was she a Batman villain at one time?
@@AT-sd9qqStop trying to be different, champ. You're not impressing anyone.
Show is fire.
@@bobstacks8405 Wow, you're really bad at this. It's ok, you can go back to posting on AOL movie chat.
@@AT-sd9qqlook at me i’m so different
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed the November 2022 date on the Falcone tomb. Literally picking up right after the events of the first movie. No time jump to present day.
The Penguin is an absolute masterpiece. Can’t wait for The Batman 2!
Not only is Shades Alvarez from Luke Cage here, but Dinah Madani's mother from The Punisher is here.
Maroni is from the punisher as well
Yep I said there's Shades
Matt reeves is a genius
I never seen a scary manipulating cold hearted penguin
I love this show
One of the best shows out there. Its so well written.
It's been great so far! My Episode 3 video will post next week!
Agreed great writing great acting great two episodes. Wow
I have the feeling they took notes from Vince Gilligan's Verse (BCS and BB). The pacing and twists of The Penguin are somewhat similar to those shows
Nice theory!
There's a lot of inspiration from the Sopranos, the scene with him fighting the guy in the car in episode one where he gets hit by the bus was a homage to The Sopranos when Tony had the same thing happen to him.
@@Grekwell it is a mafia show on hbo so it makes sense to pay homage
I agree completely it wouldn’t surprise me if people who worked on that show were working on this
Absolutely Colin Ferrell’s penguin is truly so menacing and just extremely serious
But damn this episode was just outrageously great
Really liking how this show has been handling
HBO shows are always on a different level
Hangman looks so crazy and I love how the actress nails the crazy eyes 👀
Also she nailed her own neck. Ouch 💅
“I’m not safe, I’m home.” Great line from sofia
This show is Sensational, then I remember it’s a dc character!.
The writers and the whole team behind the camera deserves an applause. This is the dc I grew up with. Amazing writing so far.
Best series of the year
This and Xmen 97’
Shogun
From season 1-3
I love listening to you go through the episodes just to emphasize what I think I saw
Awesome, thanks!
great start for a new dc show universe
The woman playing Sofia is absolutely knocking it out of the park. Difficult material and just slaying it.
Christine Milioti :-) such a great actress
@@cgill914 After Episode 4, I don’t think a person alive could argue with that.
The scene transition to Oz in his car transposes a pointy DeVito style nose onto his face thru the font style with the G
I’d like to see him make his version of the Iceberg lounge that really looks like the comic one or better like the one from the Arkham City game that would be pretty awesome
its giving Sparano vibes and i love it, the show is so good this far. Top notch acting.
Dc is heading in the right direction. Great scripts and cast.
But what Gunn is going to do has nothing to do with this.... you can tell he doesn't have his mits on this one. The Reevesverse is turning out to be on the level or better than what Chris Nolan did.
@sonic605hp regardless they all under DC. So it's a all round win.
NO THEY'RE NOT, THEY JUST FVCKED UP THE JOKER SEQUEL😢
I really like the Sofia Falcone writing. She's vicious but highly intelligent and calculating, while simultaneously being compromised and psychologically fragile. Just a deep character, well done, and extremely well-acted by Cristin Milioti.
Most of us will forever and always remember him as JUICE, From SOA.
Thank you! I was like “how’s he not gonna mention SOA when bringing up Theo Rossi?”
The fact that they cast Theo Rossi as Sofia's therapist almost took me out of it for a second because all I see when I look at him is Juice, lol.
Juice! Poor guy got violated by Marilyn Manson
I’ve only just clocked who it is playing Sofia falcone.. never seen whatshername in anything serious. Only comical roles, wow. 👏🏼👍🏼. Colin is epic in everything, and has always had amazing range. But I think she’s killing her portrayal of Sofia so far too 🔥
She was in the Black Mirror episode USA Callister. Absolutely amazing actress.
THIS IS HIGH QUALITY TELEVISION! Nobody does it like HBO.
Uhm Prime and Netflix have high quality shows every time too bro😅
@@siphosethumbaba7559 They have some gems from time to time…very true. But HBO is just different.
@@siphosethumbaba7559I hear you, but a good HBO show hits differently than every other Network
This series is KILLING IT so far. Colin F needs to win awards for this shit.
This show is going to make the next batman even more glorious.
I just hope they keep the same quality of production & care & attention to detail as the first one and this show. If they keep refusing to cut corners & keep everything fresh and real like they have then we’re in for another treat! Nolan really set the bar for sequels in DC though…
I tried to stay up for the brakedown! Colin is throwing down an absolute masterclass with this one! Thank you Charlie!!
Very welcome!
Fantastic show… really didn’t think I’d like a Batman show without Batman
batman might make an appearance who knows
Batman is overrated
This is heading in the direction where the villain is more entertaining than Batman. Just like heath ledgers joker
@@AD-ur1fk cuz batman is overrated and dull af
Reminds me of Captain Cold in the Flash.
"There are only four rules you need to remember: make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan."
I knew I recognized Shades! Still having a thing for Unhinged Crime Bosses I see
Lmfao fr this show fits his character from like cage lol good casting him
Just gotta say... Cristin Milioti as Sophia Falcone in Penguin is like... a spitting image of Talia Shire as Adrian in Rocky. They look so similar. It's uncanny!
Loving these characters so quick is unheard of. It’s just been two episodes
There were so many Easter eggs and references to so many things in the comic book that I couldn't keep up. And all I could say after the episode was, "I sure am glad that I don't have Charlie's job!" You have a very great and admirable talent.
Thank you!
Sophia will see the bracelet on 🐧 mom and figure it out.
But he told her that his mom is dead
@keithwoodcrest he did, so what happens when she finds out she isn't dead and has a pice of the jewelry?
She will kill his mother
Thanks Charlie this was a really good episode I'm loving this series
Awesome!
When he had to plant that knife I got kind of scared ngl 😆🔥
Yooo I was so tense!!!
I didn’t know what was finna happen🤣🤣🤣
Man 🤣
Each episode seems like an actual movie
I’m glad they are 50 minutes
I think my biggest crossover moment will be a guest feature from Charlie getting invited to be on one of these shows for a scene. And of course he’ll be pointing out an Easter egg in the episode some super meta 4th wall thing lol
lol, thanks!
I like how it seems like he's on this knife-edge constantly, Oz seems to be constantly improvising when his plans go wrong.
Using emergency water trucks to move drugs is great use of The batman events
FYI: the wife of Moroni plays a character in Assassin Creed Mirage I recognize her from her voice
She's a very famous actress. She's in many big things.
Shohreh Agdashaloo. She's also in The Expanse! And yes her voice is distinctive.
She has an amazing voice
I believe the penguin is going to do unspeakable things by the conclusion of the series and this will set him up perfectly as the next villain of Batman. So far, we as the audience kind of like him and understand him. You can’t have that for the next Batman movie unless the Penguin won’t be introduced as the main villain yet again.

"And that, kids, is how I met your mother." 🐧
The graveyard scene was hardcore! Threatening and teaching at the same time lol
Everything up to this episode has been really done well, even Penguin engaging in shootouts throughout the series(despite Batman not showing up or even paying any mind to it😅)
Penguin seems like the living definition of “I don’t wanna do this but I gotta do this”
Can we just give this team DC and let them mastermind everything going forward. This is IT, The One, this is Batman. Colin is absolutely brilliant in this. I need 10 seasons. Matt Reeves has said he didn't want to do an origin story BUT he is. He's showing us THE STORIES origin, that old school Batman story from his early days the noir stories with intrigue and suspense.

Man, when it comes to movie or show reviews, you are the best! 😊
Can’t wait for next week episode
INSANELY GREAT show! Surpass my expectations by a light year!
The sweeping red light Dr. Rush was using is part of EMDR therapy. A treatment for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and more.
Love that penguin dancing with her mother
Have a feeling the therapist has something to do with the hangman murders
Really, really enjoying these insightful synopses, highlighting what I've missed is very satisfying, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't believe how much I like the penguin. Never would have thought growing up on Burton and animated series lol
🔥🔥🔥. Been waiting all day in England after watching episode 2 this morning. Thanks Charlie ! X
Sophia sleeping in her closet reminded me of a time when I was having the worse migraine and my walk in closet was the most comfortable quiet dark place that I could find some sort of relief.
Watching this episode tonight.
Thank you Charlie.
No problem!
thanks, for some reason i had trouble following everything that was happening, this helps
If TBatman 2 is a christmas movie with comic accurate Mr Freeze in it then it would be 🔥
This show is getting so damn good ! Sofia is fantastic can’t wait to see more of here. Penguin is slick as oil man haha love it
Love how diabolical OZ is 😈
This is a really good show. Happy to also see Shohreh Agdashaloo on it. Loved her in The Expanse.
Am I the only one who's crushing on Sofia? 😂
Probably
I said it before and I’ll say I again. Arkham will play a key role in this deeper corruption and the drugs will play a big role in that.
Nice theory!
@@emergencyawesome I do believe Hugo Strange will appear in this universe and I believe he has something to do with it
Havent felt the need to come to your channel since early Game of Thrones😅 PENGUIN HYPE!! 🎉🎉🎉
Welcome back!
COLIN FARRELL IS AMAZING!!!!
Give all the prizes to him...!
Bro this series is so awesome and sophia and Oz are amazing too can't wait for the rest of the series😊

That's Juice from Sons of Anarchy
so awesome to see Shohreh in this series looking forward to see more of her.
Absolutely great show! I think sofia took the blame for someone she loves greatly. Maybe the connection to her and Berto
Best show so far. I’m addicted.
4:37 the latter G made it look like an actual penguin’s nose😂
I just finished watching SOA and was excited to see Juice. 🤣 Totally forgot about Shades! Also excited to see Max from 'Gilmore Girls"!!
The whole cast is amazing so far, but aside from the obvious example of Colin Ferral, Cristin Milioti is probably my favorite actor in the show. She is absolutely perfect for Sofia, and someone should call the cops on her because she is KILLING it 😅
I knew I recognised him from somewhere. SHADES!!! I loved Shades!
This episode really gives me old school HBO originals vibes, it’s not just sopranos, and I can’t even put my finger on it. But I love it.
We forgot how good Collin Farell was, especially this adaptation of the penguin/ tony soprano!
It would be awesome if it's Jonathan crane claiming to have a new drug but us fans will know what it really is
This show is starting to remind me of Gotham. And I LOVE GOTHAM
I was thinking Alberto was the one responsible for the Hangman deaths, or maybe Carmine did one or two with Alberto doing the rest
It just seems like Sophia has a very unique and strong bond with Alberto, I could see her taking the blame not only to save him, but she knows she would need his help to take over the family together in the future
Penguin and his mom with a beautiful toxic relationship
Great breakdown Charlie
Love this series. Cristin Miloti is amazing. Of course, Colin Farrell is killing it. The performances are outstanding.
Just saw episode 2 love the episode it's keeps getting good but now the falcone needs to watch the penguin and his games
