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?
So after episode 4, here is my end of the show theory…
Vic is the only other person who knows where Penguin’s mum is.
I think Vic is going to emulate the penguin’s snakeiness and save his own life from being killed by Sofia by giving up his mum…— simon(s)poke (@simonspoke) October 15, 2024
… and Sofia will end up killing Penguin’s mother as an eye for an eye for her brother.
Then Penguin will find out the betrayal and end up killing Vic.
He’ll then defeat Sofia and commit her back in Arkham for her to suffer like he is.
It’ll be a pure Shakespearean tragedy!— simon(s)poke (@simonspoke) October 15, 2024
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.
