With The Penguin now finished after episode eight “A Great Or Little Thing” released on November 10, 2024, it has fans and critics sharing their opinions online, especially with the added news that Colin Farrell stated he will be in the next two Batman films with Robert Pattinson, directed by Matt Reeves. The Penguin received rather great critic scores currently with a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 8.8/10 on IMDb, and a 72% from Metacritic. 

The Penguin was soundly received well by many critics, but what about the general public, the fans? Let’s take a look at some fan thoughts and reactions. 

There is a lot of talk going around the ending of the series, and the conclusion it presented to viewers. With several major or important characters dying or being taken out of the picture temporarily, there are mixed feelings on these events.

Overall The Penguin is getting glowing reviews, with many fans satisfied and excited to see the continuation of the characters from the series, and what their involvement will be moving forward. 

The very end of the episode included an interesting detail, the bat-signal. After the Penguin took control over many, and killed many more, from a penthouse view we see him dancing with Eve Karlo (Carmen Ejogo), and in the night sky, is the bat-signal. Could this mean he is coming for Oz? This was a great cherry on top to finish the series leaving fans wanting more, but remind them that The Batman Part II is well on its way.
