The Penguin expanded Matt Reeves’ Batman universe by zooming in on the criminal underbelly of Gotham, and the chaos it found itself in after the demise of Carmine Falcone. The power vacuum was soon filled by two opposing forces: Oz Cobb, an upstart crime lord, and Sofia Falcone, Carmine’s daughter, who promised a new era for the Falcone family. It was Oz who won out in the end, sending Sofia back to Arkham Asylum and allowing the Penguin to become the villain comic book fans know and love.
But was he the only Batman villain featured in The Penguin? A fun fan theory suggested there’s another one hiding in plain sight, but showrunner Lauren LeFranc just shot it down.
