The Batman"s Spin-Off Was Right To Avoid Its Best Villain Reveal Opportunity

:0:0

The Batman"s spin-off, The Penguin, could have easily introduced several villains to the overall universe, yet was wise not to. As of The Penguin episode 7"s ending, the titular character is closer than ever to taking over Gotham"s underworld and becoming more like his DC Comics counterpart. The Penguin takes place after 2022"s The Batman, further fleshing out the universe and teeing up the story of The Batman - Part II.
With The Batman 2 being one of the most anticipated upcoming Batman movies, many have tuned into The Penguin to see exactly how this version of Gotham has been further developed. As it turns out, this more grounded, realistic iteration of Batman"s expansive timeline has proven to be just as good on TV as it is on film, with DC Easter eggs and ties to Robert Pattinson"s Dark Knight aplenty. However, one of the key ways The Penguin could have tied to The Batman was not capitalized on, with this decision proving to be the correct one.
The Batman's Spin-Off Had A Perfect Chance To Focus On More DC Villains Sofia Falcone's Story Gave The Penguin Several Villains To Play With Close Via the story of DC Comics villain Sofia Falcone, The Penguin could have introduced - or even re-introduced - several villains from The Batman"s universe. Sofia Falcone was quickly established as one of the best-written live-action Batman villains in recent years thanks to The Penguin episode 4. This storyline established Sofia"s tragic backstory, specifically how she became aware of her father Carmine Falcone"s murder of multiple women. Carmine, seeking to keep hold of his power, framed Sofia for these murders and had her sentenced to Arkham Asylum for years.
