It wouldn't have fit the scene but imagine if they started playing Something in the way while panning out and when the beat drops the credits start rolling.
In the end, it shows that Oz may have had some humanizing moments shown throughout the show. But was and always will be the villain of the story and one of Batman's greatest enemies.
HUMANIZING ? He broke his promise to kill his mother if she turned into a vegetable and keeps her in the top floor of a ruined hotel, killed the boy who loved him like a father because it made him feel weak, and he turned his girlfriend into the woman he'd always wanted... his own MOTHER ! How did the ending humanize him, I thought it revealed him for the monster he really is !
@ he was kind to Selina in a deleted scene in Batman, he was also kind to victor in the beginning. And we thought he deeply cared for his mother in early episodes
@@TXTerrz But his attachment to his mother is sick and twisted ! He murdered his brothers so he could have her all to himsrlf. That is not love it is obsessive mania ! He said it himself as he strangled Victor ! "Family makes you weak."
Well, they didnt actually watch the show. They just see who wins. In this case, the white guy won, while the strong independent woman is in prison and the innocent minority is dead
The fact that he kept his own mother in a vegetative state rather than letting her die just so he can feel like he accomplished what he set out to do to stroke his own ego. Also the escort dressing up like his mother to fulfil his Oedipus complex was fucken crazy. This show was complex, dark and brilliant.
He needs so bad to believe he's someone. Like when Sal has a heart attack, he needs that mythology, the streets kid is now beating the big mafia boss and taking the city with a great and methodical plan instead of luck and betrayal
That almost certainly won't happen. The ending of The Batman (2022) makes clear that Bruce has learned to be less brutal in his crusade for justice. More hope, less vengeance. Besides, even in the first movie he only beat up people who physically attacked him, like those thugs at the station, and I don't expect Oz would attempt to physically fight Batman.
How ironic that when literally oz thought no one's left to stop him only to have the bat signal lit up. Batman dismissed him as a nobody, and now became a threat in gotham.
i think the scene between Eve and Sofia in episode 6 is overlooked. The first part hints at Eve knowing what Oz likes and that he's not that complicated. This makes me believe she cosplayed as Oz"s mother before the finale of episode 8. The second part of the conversation hints at a potential betrayal of Eve towards Oz. Talking about how she got her girls back and since 2 of the victims of the hangman where like family to her now knowing that Oz was involved made her spill the beans on Oz"s location. Gotta keep an eye on Eve i think.
Oz will kill eve. She was the only person who knew where he was living. She ratted him out to protect her own skin. I imagine Eve will get killed in The Batman 2.
This is how you do a proper villain story. Humanizing them doesn't always have to strip away their villainous nature. The Penguin doesn't fall into the trap of making him a sympathetic misunderstood anti-hero
Anything that would make Penguin remotely sympathetic was quickly overshadowed by some evil act. They set this up well so that no one will ever feel sorry for the Penguin except for the Penguin.
It really cements Batman as hope when people are so excited by the Bat-Signal's "warning" to scum like The Penguin & the justice it represents to wronged souls like Vic.
A friend of mine told me that The Penguin is a nasty piece of work in the comics, so I guess this portrayal was bang on the money. It will be pretty sweet to see Batman's fist in his face.
Man...years from now, when Oz is finally caught by the Law and being chased down by Batman, I just need a scene where he runs back to this building and after smashing through his henchmen Batman catches him trying to escape with his mother's withered corpse, screaming the whole time for the Bat to "STAY AWAY FROM MY MA!" ala Norman Bates.
Oh god I would love to see that. Have Batman tear him down verbally for killing his brothers (maybe he goes to Sofia or her doctor for intel on the Penguin and they spill the beans to him).
@monsoon1303 they can't make all the charges stick, but they are able to find him guilty of elder abuse. Unfortunately his lawyer thought an insanity plea was a good idea and instead of the cushy new facility he wanted to go to, he's sent to Arkham...and Sofia
The problem is that Oz never had a soul. That was the twist. Man killed his own two brothers as a boy without a thought and didn't lose a minute of sleep about it.
I love this scene the most out of the whole series, but what I'm hoping for is in the next movie another car chasing scene happens but with his Purple Rolls Royce flipping in the air. that'll be hilarious. 🤣👍
Damnit!! So we get to see him carrying his trademark top hat but never see him wearing it with his tux? I was hoping we'd get to see the 'complete' Penguin look by the end of this series.
3:30 Matt Reeves Realy played Arkham games in his free time, cause this shot looks like an Arkham City vibe, and hits us so hard to love this batman universe
@@GuyLogen The Batman and Spiderverse are equals in that they are standalone encapsulations of the characters and their worlds that are dedicated to presenting an experience that feels like reading the comics while also having stellar character, cinematography, and music.
also this is just me the Raimi Movies are right there with spiderverse and prior to no way home i liked to imagine that spiderverse was Raimi spiderman 4 and that Peter B Parker is an older jaded shlubby version of Toby.
He's probably gunna change his name to Oswald cobblepot after this show to sound more high society then he even is, also to distance himself from his mom
The ending scene was a bit underwhelming because, like, where did he get all that money? He doesnt have any businesses left and he doesnt really own anyone anymore, so, like, hes not really the kingpin of gotham
This show alone clears Marvel's Phase 5 woke Agenda. Thank you DC for making masterpieces as of late, they really got something going. Outside of the new Joker movie though...
@marsayde1237 , he was a lot more sympathetic and he was built up a lot more over the series. We saw his character have reasons to be greedy and obsessive, because of codependency issues. His dynamic with Corey Micheal Smith as Riddler is one of my favorite actor dynamics ever.
Danny Devitos Pengyin is SO much better. Heartwrenching backstory, reasonable crashout and he does horrible things that make him evil but deep down hes a guy who was abandones by humanity.
Colin is such a menace. Let's acknowledge him being the penguin, not penguin being him 🐧 I still feel like his most diabolical character is from Horrible Bosses 😂😂 dips#!@ ❄️head son

"Yer a good man, Vic"
His poor poor mother and also Vic, Vic was so so precious and even if he did bad things he didn't deserve that.
Agreed; I would’ve preferred Oz send Vic away to see his girlfriend and call him back much later.
Horrifying scene. Excellent show.

The perfect way to set up for the film sequel.
Colin farrel deserves a Emmy for his amazing peformance as penguin crazy good series the acting was phenomenal hand down best of 2024.
It's just a great ending to a super series. Sets up the Batman part 2. It will be worth the wait 🫶👍

He went train in league of shadows i think
can you guys stop calling him Oz Cobb, bro was called "Oswald" in all episodes, no one write nick name smash up with real last name except you guys..
I mean, that’s what Matt Reeves literally said his name was. And also, he was called Oz Cobb like once or twice.
Like in the first episode when Alberto called him “ the great Oz Cobb”
Sofia and Vic called him Oz. Poor Vic. Didn’t see that coming. Brilliant twists and turns. Sopranos on steroids
He was called Oz by everyone you nerd why you care?
