- Gotham is a dark and murky city, teeming with villains of all kinds. It is a place where evil finds a home because of all the madness that the dark streets and lonely alleyways have to offer. The villain we are going to talk about today is a Mob Boss. Who has left an indelible mark in Batman lore, whether it be in the pages of DC Comics or on the big screen and it is none other than Carmine Falcone.
Carmine Falcone was probably the most powerful man in Gotham at one point and his crime syndicate got under Wayne’s skin like no other. It has been over 30 years since Falcone was first introduced in the year 1987 in a four-part story titled Batman: Year One, written by David Mazzuchelli and Frank Miller. Most recently, his character was seen in the flesh in the movie, The Batman which did justice to the complex and gritty nature of the character.
I feel like Falcone is underrated because he represents an era of Gotham marked by Criminals that aren't so different from our world until Batman came along.
And with his fall, came the Era of Supervillains. Criminals that border on the fantastique. A transition period for Gotham and for Batman himself as he sees that he's going to be fighting more than simple criminals.
@@Saddonghussein Yes I believe the mast majority of the world doesn't read the comics. So yeah underrated
The Dark Knight capitalized on that so well. Organized crime was bullied so much by a vigilante that it was inevitable they would turn to supervillains to level the Plainfield. Nolan was able to depict the Jokers arrival and rise to infamy in a very grounded way that in fact could happen in real life.
John Turturro was brilliant as Carmine Falcone in The Batman movie and Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins
Yes both actors played this character to perfection.
Agreed.
IKR, just makes me wonder who'd play the other crime bosses of Gotham, crime bosses like Rupert Thorne, Sal Maroni, etc
@@damianprock1650 Andy García would be a cool Rupert Thorne. Or Sal Maroni.
@@magallanesagustin4952 of course, interesting idea
It’s honestly kind of irritating that Carmine usually serves as more of a plot device then anything, it was one of the reasons why I liked the Tuttoro iteration since he was a highlight rather then a side character
A truly iconic Batman villain.
Yep
Carmine Falcone
Probably the most interesting mob boss Batman villain in my opinion and a great villain that Batman first faced in his career as Batman in Year One
And John Turturro is so smooth as a Mob boss. Fits the bill to a T! Almost stole the show, he was that good.
A Brooklyn Native and the perfect actor for the job. But he is dead now, & I think that was a mistake for the franchise. .
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 yea definitely should have been arrested not killed but his connections got him out and could have a mob boss rivalry with the penguin
Yep
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 that was actually necessary because it leads to the Penguin becoming Gotham's new kingpin.

Falcone era un siciliano di classe ma spietato. Molto liscia e molto letale!
I would love to see an origin series about Carmine Falcone and the beginning of his rise to power. Like a rags to riches type story💯
Glad to see a video on the Falcone family.
Didn’t know Selina was Falcone’s daughter as well. Seems the Wayne’s and Falcone’s can never stop mixing together.
That was actually taken from the Long Halloween comic.
I think falcone is definitely an interesting character because when you're dealing with a story of Batman and he's dealing with criminals you going to need someone to best represent the criminal element in its way like not just an ordinary fog but the hierarchy Carmine falcone is a mob boss so he does represent this in the best way a man who stands at the top and not just some ordinary individual.
Tony Soprano, and the Godfathers role model ! Only thing missing are villains that Marvels Punisher fought and some ofthe themto were truly ruthless and terrifying ! Your video deserves continuation .Well done Sir.
This guy is an iconic Batman villain happy to see you doing a video on him.
The Long Halloween version of Falcone is my favorite
Ditto.
Thank you.
I've waited to see a carmine falcone origin video.....
There's so much to the under characters in Gotham steering the big picture with the real supervisions playing off against them.

Mark strong did a great version on the recent episode of the penguin
My favorite Batman enemy. He has a charisma and class that Gotham "freaks" dream of. It is a shame that he was not a fixed enemy of Batman.
Great video and I liked how he was portrayed in The Batman movie :)
UNDERRATED villain
Great video!
They didn't mention in the batman 90s cartoon.
4:22 such a great scene
top 5 batman villian, sad that he really only gets to shine in one-off stories. he always dies or goes to the slammer at the end
Ironically in Gotham TV show, he's actually quite a nice villain.
Kingpin Wilson Fisk is still my favorite fictional crime boss.
cringe
We don’t gaf bro, go say this under a kingpin video, I agree tho
With Falcone's life story i say make.... I don't know, a Sopranos style comic series staring Falcone or better make the comic series more like the godfather movies. I just feel like there's so much more that could be done if we saw into his business ventures.
Yep, even knowing that Catwoman's his illegitimate daughter would be a bonus
I always though that Falcone was based on Vito Corleone.
@@magallanesagustin4952 he might as well be
@@magallanesagustin4952 he legit was they were all based off Corleone family members. Mario is based on Michael "the good son" character. I guess Sofia is supposed to be sonny
Awesome
John domans portrayals my favourite in gotham
I forgot peaky blinders Tommy was also a villain in batman
You should also so Maroni . Esspecially the Version from the Gotham TV show
Carmine Falcone, in both THE BATMAN 2022 and THE PENGUIN 2024, is primarily based on the mid-1940s Los Angeles crime kingpin Noah Cross (played by the late actor John Huston R.I.P.) from the 1974 neo-noir crime/mystery movie Chinatown, with the actor Jack Nicholson in it too.
Carmine Falcone was in Batman 89 to.
John Dorman was my favorite portrayal as the Roman before John Turturro portrayed him in The Batman
This was an Incredible Masterpiece Video for Carmine Falcone/The Roman.
My Ranking of Carmine Falcone in The DC Media
1: Gotham (John Dorman)
2: Batman The Long Halloween (Titus Welliver)
3: The Batman (John Turturro)
4: Batman The Telltale Series (Richard McGonagle)
5: Batman Begins (Tom Wilkinson)
Can you cover Edward Barlow? Man survived to the age of supervillain being a regular mob boss
Wasn't he the one who scammed the Joker in the 90s Batman animated series episode, *Joker's Millions?*
Next up: Tony Twist 👌
That's a good one.
Penguin: *_"Now you best listen Falcone (Alberto),"_*
*_"'Cos this is the LAST Time, I'll"_* (fires up Cattle Prod) *_"ask."_*
(Holds the Prod just inches from his face) *_"What are you going to tell your Father??"_*
Eddy- DON'T LAY AN EGG BIRDBRAIN!!!
Really said, so that's what he did after dark of the moon.
Damn don falcone is the batman/Gotham city equivalent of the Godfather
I bet Rupert Thorne is Carmine Falcone's successor after the latter's demise. But in my version, the Joker permanently destroyed his sanity and sent him to Arkham Asylum for the rest of his life.
Hugo Strange: Tell me, Mr. Falcone. Did you have a bad day ?
Perhaps so
@@damianprock1650 What ?
@@aidanhever3369 you never know what the future holds in store for sure
@@damianprock1650 Oh, I see.
@@aidanhever3369 exactly, especially when it comes to Teen Titans season 6, where Rupert's revealed to be Terra's foster father
In Begins he was thrown away and in 2022’s The Batman he gets killed like that... shouldn’t they make him the main villain
Meh
A more evil version of Don Vito Corleone
I would like for Todd McFarlane to make a DC MULTIVERSE action figure out of Carmine Falcone. Also his wife and children. That'll be cool. I think.
I have to ask, in the comics is he dead-dead?
