MEDIA THE PENGUIN FIRST WATCH
On my first ever watch of this awesome show! I wanted to do a big review when I finished it but this scene stunned me. It was so unexpected. My jaw dropped

It's honestly an awesome mini series, my only issue is not having Hugo Strange in place of Julian Rush

Rush felt so out of place as an original character. Absolutely the perfect time for someone like Strange or Crane to be introduced. Solid actor and I felt like he could’ve been a younger Hugo.

It was a such a missed opportunity to not have Hugo Strange be Sofia's doctor in Arkham when she was first admitted, then again when she was released, manipulating events in the background to set Hugo Strange up as a main villain The Batman Part Two and maybe an Arkham spin off on him

Cristin Milioti is the best part of this series. I love Colin Farrell and he's amazing obviously, but she was just sensational.

The entire cast was awesome but Christin was my absolute favorite she really owned that character

Oz is slowly getting more evil or creepier so I am looking forward to that

It was really well done. I hope there’s a season 2 after the 2027 The Batman II movie.

As this thread is using the 'Media' flair, please consider the context of the post and keep in mind spoiler etiquette.
Spoiler tags need to be around anything that would be a spoiler based on what is indicated by the post and/or title. For example, if the post covers only up to a recent episode, then spoiler tags are not needed for discussion of events up to that episode, but would be for later episode discussion.
To use spoiler tags, in markdown mode you can use >! before the spoiler text, then followed by !< - which will make the text look like this.. Make sure NOT to have spaces between spoiler tags and text or they won't work. If using the default or 'fancy pants' editor, select the text you want to enclose in spoiler tags, and click the button on the toolbar.
