'Now We Are Free' by Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, Lisa Gerrard and Becky Taylor.
“In my neighborhood, they throw a parade in his honor. A friggin' parade. It wasn't fancy, but it was a gesture, a show of love, of what he meant.”
It is time to get our top hats on as we return to the gritty and corrupt world of Matt Reeves' Gotham City in a spin off miniseries following The Penguin!
With the city in chaos and turmoil following the events of The Batman, criminal Oswald "Oz" Cobb attempts to make a name for himself and become the new crime boss of Gotham.
On the way to his rise to power he allies with street kid Victor Aguilar and battles with rivalry Mafia families the Maronis and the Falcones, now under the control of Sofia Falcone!
The Penguin is a dark, violent and disturbing story of one mans wish for power and identity in a cruel and unjust world!
