1 Subtle Detail Makes The Penguin"s Ending Even Darker Than You Already Thought It Was

:0:1

A tiny detail in The Penguin episode 8 creates a dark parallel between Oz Cobb and Carmine Falcone, suggesting that DC"s Hangman lives on. The Penguin reveals that Sofia Falcone"s "Hangman" infamy is the work of her own father, Carmine Falcone, who murdered several women and pinned the blame on his own daughter. The Penguin episode 4"s flashbacks to Sofia Falcone"s time at Arkham establishes how Sofia only became a ruthless murderer after being imprisoned, and The Batman shows how Carmine escaped from any repercussions from his Hangman crimes once the Riddler assassinates him.
Despite his genuine care for his mother Francis and his ally Victor Aguilar, Oz Cobb can"t shake off his villainous nature by the end of The Penguin. Oz kills Victor Aguilar in The Penguin episode 8"s ending, and he keeps his ill mother as a living trophy after she suffers a stroke. Oz also begins working with Gotham"s politicians, setting up a political-themed plot for The Batman - Part II, where Oz will likely be less compassionate with innocent characters and more dangerous to heroes like Batman and James Gordon. In short, Oz Cobb is a villain by nature, and the proof is in the details.
Oz Cobb Became A New Hangman By The End Of The Penguin Oz Uses The Same Killing Method As Carmine Falcone In The Penguin Finale Close In The Penguin finale, Oz Cobb decides to murder Victor Aguilar as a way to get rid of him before Vic could become a target for his enemies. Oz hugs Victor and praises his loyalty before strangling him to death. Victor begs Oz to stop and asks him why he"s doing it, scratching his hands in the process. Later on, when Oz celebrates his victory by dancing with Eve Karlo, several scratches can be seen on his hands. The scratches on Oz"s hands are the same kind of injury that Carmine Falcone sustained while murdering his victims, as strangulation was also Carmine"s preferred murder method.
