this takes place shortly before the events of The Batman: Part 2 (2026)

[Zizu]

Hopefully it’s better than that turgid nonsense The Joker

Great Hard Working Actor

he is, one of his sons is severely disabled as well and he does loads of charity work to help families who have children/adults who suffer with the condition, Angelman Syndrome I think it's called

[Niamh.]

Finished S1 last night

Can't believe he killed Victor. I guess they had to make sure that we really think of Oz as the bad guy, Victor kind of made him a little sympathetic. Great show though, Colin Farrell was absolutely amazing as was Cristin Milioti who played Sofia. looking forward to S2, i presume there will be one? I presume batman will make an appearance with that little teaser in the final scene. Anyone know anything about that? Will they cast Robert Pattinson again if so? Anyway, I thought it was probably the best origin story of a villain I saw, great work

[bots]

i thought the penguin was great
