Episode 268: What Did We Think of ‘The Penguin’ Finale?

The Batman Universe

In episode 268 of The Batman Universe Podcast, hosts Scott and BJ wrap up their discussion of The Penguin series on HBO Max. This episode covers a discussion on the following The Penguin episodes:

• The Penguin Episode 5: Homecoming
• The Penguin Episode 6: Gold Summit
• The Penguin Episode 7: Top Hat
• The Penguin Episode 8: Great or Little Thing

Scott and BJ talk about character arcs, favorite moments, least favorite moments, unexpected surprises, heartbreaking deaths (spoiler!), and whether or not they enjoyed the series as a whole. Did it need to be 8 hours, or would it have been better as a leaner, meaner two-hour film? Also, what did our dynamic hosts think the ending means for both the future of Oswald Cobb as a character as well as the upcoming The Batman Part II?

Listeners who are catching up on the series can listen to past TBU discussions on the show (Episode 264: ‘The Penguin’ Series Episodes 1 & 2 and Episode 266: ‘The Penguin’ Series Episodes 3 & 4).

Also, for those who need a refresher on a history of the character, Scott and BJ did a deep dive into Oswald Cobblepot a few months back. Check out Episode 253: All About The Penguin, which offers a timeline of the character’s evolution throughout each comic book age, as well as beloved Penguin-centric stories from the hosts.
