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.
