First episode was fantastic
That was fantastic. I kept thinking amid all that real life cesspool, there is a guy who prowls at night wearing a bat suit.
This little detail caught my attention.
Notice the name of a town on the lower right of the screen - Otisburg. Perhaps a reference to the original Superman movie, where Luther's henchman Otis wanted to name a town after himself in Luther's new California?

Yeah, when you get the chance check out the video I posted above. They name/give context for every city listed. Pretty cool, and such crazy attention to detail.
Also the jewelry store that the penguin pulls up to and sees Sofia and her people was called Burgess Jewelry, Burgess Meredith played the Penguin in the 60s Batman show and movie.
What a pilot. Man, I am absolutely in. The rogue gallery Batman has is unmatched and it's not even close.
I only watched The Batman about a month ago and like TCTTS I put it up there with the Dark Knight.
That movie and this show is exactly what I've been looking for from a Batman world

Do you need to watch The Batman first? Haven't had a chance to do that yet.
I mean, it's not absolutely necessary, but I can't image not. Seeing as the show takes place literally days after the movie ends, and the plot of the show is directly related to who dies and what happens in the final act of The Batman.
Yes, plus it's a great movie in its own right that deserves a watch
If you know the Penguin character is a mob enforcer kind of character, that is all you really need. Has nothing to do with Batman at this point.Ol Jock 99 said:

Yes. Huge spoilers if you don't watch the Batman.Ol Jock 99 said:

Also... why wouldn't you want to watch The Batman? It's a fantastic movie and will take you one evening to watch.
Nothing about not wanting to, just haven't had a chance to yet.
Good to know! Gracias.Quote:

Is this a bit you're doing? Copying people's posts verbatim?
Fantastic pilot, can't wait for Sunday. I've been a fan of Cristin ever since she was on season 2 of Fargo. She really had a skinny Alyssa Milano look going in the pilot, maybe that helped me believe she was BSC.
I still can't believe that's Farrell.

It's obviously a bot. Just keep flagging it as spam.

I also recommend you watch the movie. But to be fair, the first 5 minutes of this pilot gives a quick and dirty recap of the movie.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
Watched it last night and totally forgot who was playing The Penguin until the ending credits.
Great performance and show.

Well this show started with a "bang"
For people who say he only has negative opinions:
Yes, if you don't understand what happened to the city and especially what happened with the Falcone family then you will not have the full experience. Commit 5 hours on Sunday to watching the Batman, Episode 1, and then Episode 2.Ol Jock 99 said:

It will be worth it
Just watched Episode 1 and I really enjoyed it! Fun stuff
Great first episode. Set a lot of stuff in motion for the rest of the season.
I always thought you pronounced the last E in Falcone. Don't remember if they did in The Batman. They don't in this.
Who's idea was it to cast Colin Farrel? He is unrecognizable. You'd think they'd go for a Gandolfini type over Farrel in a ton of make up. Whoever thought of it has incredible vision.
Don't understand the name change from Cobblepot to Cobb. Cobblepot is such a better name. Good idea giving him a club foot so he waddles like a penguin.
Don't know how I feel about humanizing The Penguin with a sick mom
Rita Hayworth popping up to give the Penguin an idea. One of Andy's posters from Shawshank. Then Clancy Brown shows up.
Sofia Falcone was the mom from How I Met Your Mother. She does crazy well. Had big cute eyes in HIMYM, now has big crazy eyes

"Cobblepot" is an aristocratic name, obviously used in the more traditional version of the character who, like Bruce, came from money. While, in contrast, this version is, of course, a poorer, blue-collar, underdog iteration. I like the ring of "Cobblepot" more as well, but admit that "Cobb" fits this version of the character better.

EXACTLY!!!! Also, whichever critic said this is the Andor version of Batman nailed it as well.Quote:
Feels like a show that's for and written by adults
From what I've gathered it was Colin's decision because originally he was supposed to just wear a prosthetic nose but no fat suit or anything else. SO glad that didn't manifest itself as it would have not worked at all but Farrel supposedly was the first choice for the role.Quad Dog said:

There also apparently is a graphic novel version of Penguin that's a dead ringer for what Colin looks like on the show so perhaps that was an inspiration as well.
Great episode. If that was Rita Hayworth he was watching....God almighty was she hot. Can't recall if I've ever actually seen one of her movies but now I want to.
Anyway, I'm not sure if this was a plot hole or I missed something but I'm not sure how Victor would have known to save Oswald when he did. Oswald was surprised to see Sophia at his place and then ran from them and got caught. Yet after the fact we are led to believe that was all planned?

While he was being chased, he was trying to call Vic but was getting his voicemail. That's the last we see until he stops and then ultimately gets into the trunk. We are led to believe he left the VM and Vic got it.

I caught that and thought of it but it looked pretty clear to me he hung up when got Vic's VM. Guess he could have called again while in the trunk though.
Yes, that was Rita Hayworth singing the song that gave the idea for Penguin to find a patsy. That song is from the same movie they watch in Shawshank with the hair flip: GildaYouBet said:

Maybe as part of their plan Penguin shared his location with Vic. Then gave Vic instructions that Penguin will call every 15 minutes, if Penguin misses a call, then it is time to reveal the dead body at Penguin's location.YouBet said:Lathspell said:
