I feel like the interest in the Penguin show won't pick up until we have a trailer. Right now, most people who are not super fans might not even know about it, I feel like when we get a trailer, the hype will start to rise.
I am excited that The Batman filming is expected to start in Nov. I was surprised because I know Rob is filming the new Bong Joon-Ho film, Mickey 17, right now and I thought it would take longer. But based on an article I just read, looks like it’s expected to finish up first half of this year. “Mickey 17 has been filming in London since August 2022, and the team plans to wrap their filming in the first half of this year.” As for The Penguin series… I am super stoked. They are getting a host of talent to work on it so far. Can’t wait to see who else joins in.
DC fans are eating so good right now. I am beyond happy right now production begins November. Plus Cristin Milioti looks incredible as Sofia, she looks like a Sofia Falcone.
What’s up boba! I watched the Batman the other day, and when Gordon thought penguin was the rat, he mentioned that maroni practically lived at the iceberg lounge. I wonder if penguin ran with Maroni originally, but ended up with falcone after the drug bust. He was pretty pissed when he found out falcone was the rat.
What a great and thorough breakdown. Thanks for reading out those character descriptions - they are especially illuminating. A few thoughts - I wonder if Shohreh Aghdashloo was their dream casting for Nadia from the outset. The description seems very specific and she is certainly the first actress that comes to my mind when thinking about Iranian women in their 60s/70s. I wonder what the “must be NY local hire” indicates. It seems like the bigger roles can be from anywhere but some of the more minor characters have to be played by local actors. I wonder if this is a union thing, or if it is to accommodate flexible shooting schedules. Maybe they are planning their shooting schedules around the major actors’ availability because they might have to fly in to shoot their scenes. The supporting characters could basically be on call to shoot from day to day or week to week. Completely agree with you about a potential Oz/Sofia attraction of sorts. One way that costume designers indicate a character’s romantic availability is by having them show a little skin. Oz’s shirt being unbuttoned and showing off his chest and chest hair is visual shorthand to the audience for us to think of him as being someone who might be available in that way. Sofia, on the other hand, has her coat buttoned up and a scarf tied around her neck, indicating that she might not be receptive to any advances Oz might make, at least initially. However, she does have stockinged legs showing under her coat in a coy polka dot pattern, so that might indicate a tiny bit of flirtation there, even if she doesn’t overtly show any attraction.
It was only a matter of time before we saw sofia falcone within the 2nd batman movie which I am incredibly excited for and this penguin tv show is gonna be really important to the batverse
Hey Boba I love your series on possible villains in the Batman 2. Here’s my idea for Scarecrow and his fear toxin. Hopefully this could give u a good jumping off point for a video? A liquid based toxin that attacks the amygdala part of the brain; which simultaneously raises cortisol levels. Synapses rapidly firing to the amygdala causes a fight or flight response. The raised cortisol puts the victim into a state of fear, anxiety, and paranoia. The fear response leads to a release of adrenaline, which gives our victims an increased heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. Laced with strong dosages of dimethyltryptamine or DMT, strong vivid hallucinations are brought on shortly after entering the bloodstream. When in combination with the rest of the of the toxin, the hallucinations are said to be horrific. Such a strong dose usually paralyzes the victim with fear for anywhere from 20-60 minutes. Overdoses of the toxin have left some victims with reoccurring visual hallucinations or even a “breakthrough” into a permanent state of hallucinogenic psychosis. A gas form of the toxin has also been used to attack victims, and although more convenient than a concentrated medical syringe, it does not appear to be as effective.
Good vid! Still a bit disappointed Black Mask wasn’t announced for the Penguin series, always thought him and penguin are kinda similar in the sense that before Batman it was maroni and falcone, two regular mob bosses, then after Batman shows up and injects some theatricality into Gotham, maroni and falcone get replaced by Black Mask and penguin, still mob bosses, but with the added theatrics that make them true gotham city villains. Still holding out hope he could be included in future instalments.
Do you think the fact that they don`t seem to have any sort of green screen on location might mean that the flooding of Gotham might be already solved almost in its entirety, maybe only having the lowest points of the city still flooded, which would mean the don1t have to replace every background with a flooded Gotham, or maybe even fully solved by the time the show starts, a week later than the film?
Honestly, i hope The Batman Part 2 is a bit darker and sadder than the first. A bit similar to "Let Me In" although in The Batman there are things from that movie like when the Riddler catches Gil Colson in the car and the train going by, or Batman looking at Selina through his binoculars.
what about this theory... After the Riddler's attack on Gotham, Batman continues his fight against crime in the city. However, a new villain named Hush emerges and starts committing a series of high-profile heists across the city while also murdering people in the process. Hush wears bandages over his face and speaks with a distorted voice, but he seems to have inside knowledge of Bruce's past and his connections to Gotham's wealthy elite. Meanwhile, The Penguin has become the new crime kingpin of Gotham, thanks to his connections and control over the city's underground. He is secretly working with Hush, using the heists as a cover for his own illegal activities. Harvey Dent, now the district attorney of Gotham, is working closely with Batman to bring down Hush and The Penguin. However, as the investigation progresses, Dent's personal life starts to unravel and his own dark past comes back to haunt him. At the same time, the Joker is still locked up in Arkham Asylum, but he's not sitting idly by. He's been manipulating events from the inside, using his connections to the city's criminal underworld to assist Hush and The Penguin in their schemes. As the stakes get higher, Batman realizes that he's facing a formidable team of villains who are working together to take him down. But just when he thinks he has a handle on the situation, the Joker manages to break out of Arkham, leaving chaos in his wake. The film ends with Batman realizing that the Hush and Penguin were just pawns in a much larger game orchestrated by the Court of Owls, a shadowy organization that has been controlling Gotham's fate for centuries. As Batman delves deeper into their world, he discovers that the Court's ultimate weapon is none other than Mr. Freeze, who will be the main villain of the next film.
What are your thoughts on black mask being a contender as crime boss in the reeves verse? We’ve only seen him briefly in birds of prey but I think he could create a good power struggle between him and penguin in the tv series or in future Batman movies that would be fun to see
I have no doubt the script for the penguin will be good. But i am wondering if they will use the same cinematographer and composer. Because it would be odd if it looked/sounded completely different from The Batman. But I also understand that it would be very expensive
I hope these characters are in The Penguin series and they don't die Black Mask Victor Zsasz Harvey Dent(not Two-Face yet) Ventriloquist/Scarface Rupert Thorne Tony Zucco Bronze Tiger Firefly Killer Moth Crime Doctor
I wish a new DCU could start with this Batman. Copy cat the Iron Man that started by itself until Marvel's universe was stablished, just do it, slowly and organized. If Hollywood's DC doesn't do it they're just a bunch of fools.
Court of Owls would be PERFECT for the sequel but i will let director do its thing and use any villain he wants, i will not gonna get mental like some people over other villain being used, and i want to say that penguin show in the same universe wasn't making sense for me until i watched the movie and its now makes perfect sense for them to expanded on this villain
I feel like court of owls would almost be retreading the same ground as the first film though. Secret conspiracy amongst the elite that gets uncovered by Batman and co. Would be too samey imo. And tbh if the court of owls were out there I think the first film would’ve been the place to at least allude to them.
No…I don’t want to see the court of owls that’s the same as the 1st film corrupt family of Gotham…get mr freeze clayface the ventriloquist instead…the movie is going to be compared to The Dark Knight reeve has to knock this outta the park

I’m very excited for it and predict it will do great numbers but of course I could be wrong
@@Brometheus.Bro knew 🙏
Any update is better than no update 🦇
I really feel bad on people who are sleeping on the Penguin Serie. The Reevesverse & Phillipsverse Are a masterpiece!
Damn didn't expect The Batman to start production so soon, so hyped!
I am excited that The Batman filming is expected to start in Nov. I was surprised because I know Rob is filming the new Bong Joon-Ho film, Mickey 17, right now and I thought it would take longer. But based on an article I just read, looks like it’s expected to finish up first half of this year.

Mickey 17 wrapped up December of 2022
Thank God Jonah Hill didn't turn out to be the penguin and we got the gem of an actor in Colin Farrell.
DC fans are eating so good right now. I am beyond happy right now production begins November. Plus Cristin Milioti looks incredible as Sofia, she looks like a Sofia Falcone.

Thanks for covering this man! Very hype
It's so great to see Colin in the makeup again.
Keep the updates and content coming boba thanks 👍🏻
I'm excited for all of it. Movies, TV shows. Bring it! Can't get enough content Boba. Nice work!

Nice video man! Love the hat 🦇♥️
Okay, LOVE the new thumbnails!
Love the longer breakdowns

Whether it's the clothes or the car, the purple color looks cool.
Another video! HELLS YES!
oh snap the batman 2 in production November so excited to see who will be the main villain and will robin pop up.
Rex calabrese? The other incarcerated mob boss
I gotta be honest, the only characters I’m interested in here are Penguin, Salvatore Maroni and the Sofia Falcone

I live for anything Batman 🦇 Thanks Boba!
Is it just me, or does this version of the penguin kinda feel similar to Hammerhead from Spider-Man?
The rival behind bars would likely be Tony Zucco or Rupert Thorne
Dr Smith could be the crime doctor a batman villan from the animated series in the 90s.
There is also set footage of Joker 2 if you didn't know. I don't think you covered that, but I might have missed that video.
I did! It's literally the video I uploaded before this one with the title starting with "JOKER 2: Folie à Deux Leaked Footage" xD
@@BobaTalks Thank you! Excited to see your take on it!
Antother vid!
I bet comic con will have a whole slew of casting announcements
I have no doubt the script for the penguin will be good. But i am wondering if they will use the same cinematographer and composer. Because it would be odd if it looked/sounded completely different from The Batman.
But I also understand that it would be very expensive
I hope these characters are in The Penguin series and they don't die
Black Mask
Victor Zsasz
Harvey Dent(not Two-Face yet)
Ventriloquist/Scarface
Rupert Thorne
Tony Zucco
Bronze Tiger
Firefly
Killer Moth
Crime Doctor
It's all fun and games for Falcone and Maroni till Sionis rolls into town.
Hopefully black mask season 2
I am exited for this show
Could it be black mask
The colour Purple is associated with royalty, Penguin wants to be the king of Gotham
Dierdre O'Connell playing Oz's mother imo.
One of the chapters of the comic Justice League: The New Frontier is titled "Gods and Monsters" Coincidence?
Do you expect them to move up The Batman 2 release date to summer 2025?
I wish a new DCU could start with this Batman. Copy cat the Iron Man that started by itself until Marvel's universe was stablished, just do it, slowly and organized. If Hollywood's DC doesn't do it they're just a bunch of fools.
Will young Bruce Wayne be in joker 2?
Court of Owls would be PERFECT for the sequel but i will let director do its thing and use any villain he wants, i will not gonna get mental like some people over other villain being used, and i want to say that penguin show in the same universe wasn't making sense for me until i watched the movie and its now makes perfect sense for them to expanded on this villain

i love bat chat
21:40 Rupert Thorne??
Latín x? Cmon dude as a Latino we hate that Damn term
I just wish he was shorter. I don't like tall penguin
He wears a cheap purple suit and make-up
