Its also one of the best comic book-themed shows ever.
We all knew Oz had to win in the end.
The biggest moment, of course, iswhat happens with Vic (Rhenzy Feliz).

Throughout the entire series, Vic had been Ozs go-to guy.
I for one fully expected him to be by Ozs side to the end.
Oz kills Vic with his bare hands.
Plus Oz is a monster so, yeah, you get it.
Killing Vic is Ozs final note in a symphony of total chaos.
He gets both things, even if the journey left his Mom as a barely living shell of herself.
All of which made for a sad, but satisfying ending.
The Penguin rules Gotham and theres no one who can stop him.
The finales other great reveal is the survival of Sofia and the letter she gets in the mail.
It would have been understandable, but hugely disappointing, if the show had killed Sofia.
To me, that was the biggest surprise of the entire episode.
Reeves movie previously revealed that Carmine Falcone was Selinas dad but her connecting with Sofia never crossed my mind.
It basically cements that well see Sofia, somehow, inThe Batman Part II.
The story works even without the knowledge theres another movie on the way.
All episodes ofThe Penguinare now streaming on Max.The Batman Part II,unfortunately, is still two years away.
Its currently scheduled for release October 2, 2026.
