Let me know all of your thoughts on episode 1 & theories moving forward! Can't wait to see what you have to say!! - *Please leave a like to show your support for the video & channel!*
The MUSIC, The ACTING, the WRITING, the CINEMATOGRAPHY !!! Penguin gets his "Robin". He starts a gang war. He removes a problem with minimal consequences. I want more.
Honestly didn’t expect Alberto to die that early. But that shock is what makes the scene so great and introduces what kind of character we are dealing with
I had suspicion he wouldn’t make the episode, but I was surprised to see he didn’t make the first scene lol
@@adamrielh I know right
same
Gotham City is so back.
Killing Alberto was smartly done because they got a guy who's recognizable enough that you think "okay he's in the show he probably has a good role" and then he's dead in the first 5 mins. I like that actor too, great Bugsy Siegel in Boardwalk Empire
Loved the episode and seeing the DC studios logo in the end was awesome
*Idk about movies* but TV shows recently? DC been on a winning streak
Man this show is awesome it's nice that Batman villains get their own shows like this so people know who they are and that they're amazing and batman really has the best villain gallery ever, and so that people know the type of danger and the people Batman deals with everyday, and also i hope they Make a show with the riddler and the joker in the same batverse, and also hope one day WB gets their mind working and lets Batman be in TV shows and get one.
I really enjoy this version of Penguin, i think that making him more of a gangster and his own character rather than a bitter wealthy-man to mirror Bruce Wayne is the right way to go especially when this universe’s Batman is building himself up alongside Oz because then we don’t lose any parallels
That Title drop was hilarious and Sofia needs to go back to Arkham 😅
Once you see what she's been through you might see where she's coming from a bit more 👀
@@BobaTalks Did you look away when they were torturing Oz?
I can't think of the last season premiere of a show that had my eyes glued to the screen from beginning to end, no hyperbole. First off excellent writing by Lauren LeFranc with vivid dialogue and intense scenes. Secondly, the acting is masterclass especially from Colin Farrell who completely disappears once again as Oz but in a much significant role and Cristan Miloti is a pure unapologetic scene stealer. Finally, the atmosphere is so connected to the Matt Reeves Batmanverse that you can watch the 2022 film and this series right after, it just flows perfectly. If I had 3 arms I'd give it 3 Thumbs Way Up, and can't wait for more.
I think Arkham is the source of the new drug.
More and more I am getting the feeling Part 2 is going to delve deeper into the corruption of Arkham specifically, following up on the thread about Martha and why she was there.
@@Joshcoshbagosh I agree. I’m surprised are missing that point and only thinking of the Court of Owls. Not that they can’t work or included with the Arkham connection but just Arkham related villains like Hugo Strange is enough to tie in the whole corruption
My theory is scarecrow and Sofia falcone are altering the drops formula
@@MadMax-de5uhthat would be awesome. Scarecrow being a chemist testing his fear toxin on people that way would be a way to ground his character more
I know that Batman won't be present in the series but it would be cool to see hints of his actions. More things like the newscasters in this episode mentioning Batman. Maybe show some guys being paranoid about being watched, or have one of penguins warehouses get raided by Batman off screen and they react to it. Basically just references to show that the Batman is still active even if he isn't on camera
I was worried this show wouldn’t live up to expectations… but WOW 😮 blown away with episode one!!
Ep 1 was Bat-Tastic
9/10 it's a great show i love Colin Farrell performances, he nailed The Penguin. And also i love Victor and Penguin chemistry together. I can't wait for more episodes!
I watched episode 1 right after watching The Batman movie. It flawlessly picks up right after the movie ends. Sophia is terrifying……. I am cheering for Oz.
LOOOVED this episode bro, I gotta watch the full vid after work but just gotta say that this show is gonna win some Emmy’s I hope man
This was awesome
When I finished the episode I said to my gf “I love being a Batman fan”. I love how they depicted Penguin and the “humanisation” of his character is so beautifully done. Gotham really feels broken and it’s so believable to think that in a city that broken it’d need a masked vigilante
it was indeed an awesome start!
I think this undoes the persona that penguin carried in the film. He was already falcones right hand and ran the iceberg loung. He literally had henchmen and dirty cops working for him but in this show he has to hire some kid that was trying to rip him off. He even takes that kid to his mother’s house after telling the kid that he would gut him and kill anyone he loves.
That is a good point. Maybe the show could clarify that after falcone's death, penguin lost a lot of standing. Maybe his men only followed him because Falcone made them, hence them leaving to the others after his death
I feel like it's more of he had power when Falcone was alive. Falcone liked him so he let him "run" the club and probably gave him more connections to the city i.e goons and cops. Now he knows he can't really trust anyone ( maybe the goons from the drops factory.....but again remember he's more of a "manager" than the owner) so it's better to establish new connections. Anyway that's my two cents 🙃🤷🏾♂️
I can’t believe what I watched. This show is incredible and it’s only the first episode.
This episode was intense and I'm glad the kept the make-up at high quality cause it really helps blend the movie to this series and back again. Sophia was scary with how unhinged she was. I remember how good Penguin was in the Gotham show and I'm seeing it again with how he plans and turns people against each other. I hope it builds out the world and we get more hints of potential characters that could show up like low level villains.
I’m very hooked by Sofia Falcone and this is just only one episode, Cristin performance is super amazing
The first 10 minutes was just the perfect hook for the series..in that 1st monolgue we get to see that oz is a very self conscious guy, he doesn't like to be/feel embarrassed, and when he shoots alberto theres that moment he starts laughing after doing it..u can tell oz was laughing from stopping himself from busting into tears..al fucking embarrassed him and when it closes in on his face u can see the tears welling up..then he realizes what he just did on impulse n snaps outta it lol...i can imagine all oz can hear is his mom berading him "u gonna let this piss ant talk to u like that!?! Like ur just a lil pussy boy!".. the whole mom angle is fascinating as well man..that whole creepy "they a little too close" vibe u get from their interaction.. also oz having sympathy and comraderire with this kid with a stuttering disability, enough for oz to introduce him to his crazy ass fucking mother after one day! Lol.. he can tell oz sees himself in thst kid..this show is gonna make audiences root for oz like a antihero in batman 2 if they're not carful..he comes off way too sympathetic even with his ruthless side.. especially cuz it starting to look like he is the way he is cuz of his mom..he ain't just some heartless psychopath like Sofia is being set up to be that's for sure. Obviously iv only seen the one episode that's releases,but they set up expectations so damn well that we already care about the character as a person (atleast I do). Colin acting says ALOT about oz and his background without showing or outright telling us.. we can infer that oz is the way his is because of his mother, his disability, and everything that disability (took) from him..oz gives off that vibe of that kid who waa bullied to the point where the only way he can stop it is through physical violence..no one is gonna mess with the cripple dude who murders ppl that offend him right?... there is just so much of oz's personality that makes u want to sympathize with him. which is half the goal when it comes to a brand new series. Ppl will continue to watch the show because of OZ! not because it's set In the batman universe, not because we are hoping batman will pop up, ppl need to want to watch the show for him!! NOT batman. They achieved that imo atleast for me personally.
Like the production quality of hbo
Unlike Disney plus ❤
I think Victor might be some variation of Zsasz.
In the comics I believe Zsasz also loses his whole family and then loses his fortune gambling against the penguin at the iceberg lounge and also stages a lot of his kills in life like positions maybe Vic gets the idea from what he has to do for penguin
Overall I think the episode was good. I love the cold bloodedness of the characters, they actually feel like villains in a grounded Gotham. My only complaint is maybe how Victor was handled. I think they could've given him more characterization to make the ending more believable. Also loved how crazy Sofia was and how close she was to finding out the truth. The tension in all those scenes was amazing
AMAZING!!!
I finally watched it last night and I'm gonna watch it again today leading up to Batman Day. I'm on the west coast so it dropped on Max at 6pm. But I watched it around 8pm. It was really good. The show is off to a great start 👍.
It was pretty good but wished we got to see more of Alberto, kind of thought he would be the one penguin shoots bc of him not being much in the promotion for the show but excited to see where this goes
Think that was the Wayne pearls in the safe
So 🔥 and Gotham is back!
If Alberto is . . . dead . . . then you know what's possibly coming in the sequels to The Batman. It might indeed be a very long . . . October.
Trying to avoid saying potential spoilers here.
Boba I’ll be back when I find myself a way to watch this show
Didn’t know they transferred Lex luthor to arkham
Yeah...no, Mom.
That was the definition of impulsive.
Nice
Riddler year one QR code?
it was so good
I hate it when a video is titled with "ending explained". it has implications.
Loved the first episode
Riddler penguin carmine falcone and these are just Batman villains. Dc steamrolls marvel in antagonist s
hello
ruined by victor's acting, that guy can't act
kinda found it boring, not much of a Sopranos spin-off that I was kinda hoping for. I even watch Gotham and the Sopranos show afterwards and like night and day, those two shows stand out way more than Penguin. I f no one told me or you that this was a batman spin off ect, this show just comes off as a boring crime show.
I really like the acting of Colin Farrell. Not withstanding Alexander. That movie was overly dramatized and I put that on director Oliver Stone, not the actors.
I do say if its true that Batman never even gets mentioned the whole show, it is a missed opportunity. Before anyone rants about the point of the show, I understand it to an extremely in depth level and get what they want to do and the pov of oz and the underbelly of the city. However, unfortunately I also feel like how can you show the pov of criminals like this without showing their pov reaction to the actions of the batman? Also, how is the reconstruction of the mob and all the gang wars not going to be in Batman’s current top 3 main priorities at minimum, and not be at least appearing in some situations. I even have a way they could’ve got away with almost not even showing him, but have criminals through out just make brief lines like “hey boss, we just got word that freak just hit one of our drops. We didn’t lose much but, we think he’s on to us” or establish in a couple ways through out the show that Batman has been doing things out of context through out the city and have him lingering on their minds without having to fully appear, and than have his actual full brief cameo at the very end where he meets/confronts penguin and says “looks like you’ve been busy oz, but we need to talk” or whatever he wants to say, and than have it end lol
