Episode 1: After Hours
Set in the gritty, crime-ridden world of Gotham City, The Penguin opens with Oswald Cobb (played by Colin Farrell) stepping into a new phase of his rise to power following the events of The Batman. With crime boss Carmine Falcone dead, Gotham’s underworld is in turmoil, and Cobb sees an opportunity to solidify his control over the city’s criminal enterprises. The episode focuses on his strategic moves to fill the power vacuum, as he deals with rival factions, law enforcement, and internal challenges to his authority.
We also get a glimpse into his personal life, revealing layers of vulnerability behind his ruthless exterior. The episode sets the tone for a dark and intense character study, with Gotham City’s iconic, corrupt backdrop serving as a key character. Cobb’s ambitions and the threats he faces promise to build a dangerous and unpredictable journey as he seeks to become Gotham’s most feared crime lord.
This episode lays the groundwork for a complex and gritty crime drama within the Batman universe, with shades of noir and gangster drama influences.
