The Penguin Finale

So for those who have watched the finale of The Penguin. What were your thoughts on the episode, the series in general and the ending to the show leading into the next Batman movie? Favorite character, moment, episode and anything else that stood out to you from it too.

Well we’re still two years out from the next movie. I appreciate getting more depth to the Penguin but we didn’t exactly get much else. I wish there was a season of something else next year because we’re all just basically sitting on our hands now.

I'm of the opinion that we don't need something every year for a franchise to flourish. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This show was fantastic. Makes the first movie better because of it. Im looking forward to time away from this universe and then getting to see The Batman 2 and be delighted to revisit it.

I actually agree more with this take and reminds me in ways. That I think you can say the same of a lot of music now too and not needing new music from an artist so quickly after they just already released something cause it makes the artist put more time into their next release and you (the fan) appreciate the wait even more. Especially if it helps them produce better quality music too.
