episode 264: the penguin podcast cover



 


In episode 264 of The Batman Universe Podcast, hosts Scott and BJ dive into the first two episodes of HBO MAX’s hit new series inspired by Matt Reeves’ 2022 film, The Batman. Featuring Colin Farrell’s breakout role of the Penguin (Oswald Cobb) as the titular lead, The Penguin series expands upon the criminal underbelly of Gotham City almost immediately after the end of The Batman film. Carmine Falcone is dead, half of Gotham has been destroyed by the Riddler, and mobsters fight for power.


Did Scott and BJ Like the First Two Episodes of The Penguin?


You’ll have to tune in to find out! Their discussion goes through all of the new major characters introduced, such as Cristin Milioti’s portrayal of Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, and more. They also skirt around major plot points, trying to keep the episode as spoiler-free as possible, while still discussing their overall thoughts and impressions on the show.


Other topics covered this episode include:



  • Early Joker: Folie à Deux reviews ahead of its October 4, 2024 release date. 

  • The Batman: Resurrection novel by John Jackson Miller due out on bookshelves on October 15, 2024. We have word of a secret new villain reveal!

  • The Dynamic Duo animated feature film announced from James Gunn!


Pop your earbuds in, and get your umbrellas ready because it’s going to be a rainy day in Gotham City!
