Colin Farrel, The Penguin, and Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone are continually bringing a riveting story and atmosphere to life on screen. The Penguin has already given quite a lot to the fans of Batman, and the characters respective universe. But what do some fans want to see in the coming episodes, and what are their thoughts, theories, and expectations?

Many fans are wondering where Vic’s, played by Rhenzy Feliz, character will end up at the end of the series. Different theories and expectations from fans have Vic being The Penguin’s right hand man, some have him betraying him and getting killed. However, as of now fans will have to simply wait and see. 

Some fans believe that we will see a more comic accurate depiction of The Penguin by the end of the series. It may include several different things, like the cane, the coat, maybe even his classic umbrella. It could come with his gaining more power as a crime boss.

One of the bigger theories going around on the internet is the potential leading in of yet another classic Batman villain. A fan favorite of Batman fans is Scarecrow, due to the heavy involvement of Arkham Asylum in this series.
