The Penguin breaks its rhythm in episode 4 with an outing that’s almost entirely a flashback. With Sofia Falcone at its center, we finally find out her links to the Hangman, how she ended up in Arkham, and just what her history with Oz Cobb really is. Powered by a tour-de-force performance from Cristin Milioti, it’s a stunningly crafted and deeply disturbing episode of The Batman spin-off.
Below, we take a deep dive into exactly what happens in the latest episode, breaking down the biggest revelations, as well as some of the deep-cut Easter eggs you might have missed. Naturally, we’ll be getting into spoiler-territory when dissecting this so make sure you’re up to date before reading on.
