Yes. That's a better film to use as an example. It's more balanced and delivers what it aims for.
Cristin Milioti will be a superstar, brilliant actress.
I find it funny (no pun intended) that The Penguin is getting raves, but Joker 2 is getting slammed. Two Batman villain spin-offs on the opposite end of the spectrum. It be interesting to see if WB and DC will move forward with other villains.
The Penguin is just written well with great acting and characterization, I have not rushed to see Joker 2 I will wait until streaming which seems immanent.
From what I have read Joker 2 was a disaster waiting to happen, it will be lucky to get close to The Flash box office numbers which is really bad.
If WB hire the right people another villain spinoff will work, I am hoping that The Penguin gets another season as they have a hit show here.
That’s the thing, it wasn’t done right. I think the first or two musical sequences worked to an extent, but afterwards each new set piece felt disconnected from the story and felt like filler. It’s like a movie where we keep getting dream sequences over and over with no point to them. Then there’s the ending of the film which sounds like it wasn’t meant to do anything other than upset fans of the first.
I was sceptical about Penguin but I must admit I’ve heard very good things about it. I know Matt Reeves has a background in writing/producing for television so it seems like it’s been well thought out by everyone involved and not just a cash grab after The Batman. I’ll have to give it a watch.
From what i have read the show is gaining more viewers by each week, I like to see a series do well based on word of mouth.
After watching episode 4 and how it makes you view earlier episodes differently i am eager to rewacth The Batman to see if it adds layers to that film also.
Me too.
And yes, this series is excellent!!!!!!

I agree with him. Joker 2 does have the possibility to become a cult classic. For now, my wishes for the cinematic versions of Batman and Superman (and to a degree Supergirl) are a mixed bag.
Overall excellent season, the last episode was intense, good
Great last shot.
I think bar a couple of decent films Marvel has been on a very bad run with movies and even worse with TV. The Batman's first two act's are great but Reeves really dropped the ball with the final act IMO. Admittedly something great came from the third act of The Batman in the form of The Penguin TV show. I will have to rewatch The Batman to see if the ending works better post The Penguin.

I am going to watch The Batman for the first time post The Pengun, I suspect it will be a different experience.
I can see your criticisms, and I think they're fair. In terms of Batman shows, The 66 and The 90's Animated Series are the main two that I re-watch. I never got into the MCU TV shows, as there tends to be too many. As for the Penguin, I would like to watch it, but I'm not in a hurry to do so. The Penguin was one of the only things that BTAS got wrong.
