I don't mind there being no Batman, I'd prefer that there isn't in fact. I'm just dead at how NOBODY mentions or is worried about him. Aint nobody scared of Bats out here yet :mjlol:

Exactly lol

It feels weird to watch a show about Gotham city and people pretend batman doesn’t exist lol

But the show has really been closed off from what's happening outside of what Penguin is doing. First scene of the show had the news discussing events at the end of the film, last episode Penguin sees on the news that all the Falcones are dead. We really don't see what's going on outside of the city, except for the old/new drugs people are taking and that's because it's part of Penguin/Sofia's plans.

They made it clear at the beginning of the first movie that low level criminals feared Batman, may take a while for the big guys to be afraid. If you're Penguin, you're probably going "Batman only stepped to me when he thought I was involved with killing the mayor and was the snitch that put Maroni away. I'm just moving a little weight, he's got bigger shyt to deal with:hubie:"

shyt, Batman 2 may start with Bruce at a fundraiser for the flood victims with him narrating that when he's not helping Alfred's recovery, doing publicity shyt for rebuilding Gotham, and cleaning up his company, he's trying to figure out who the fukk is going around freezing scientists and leaving owl statues around his house.

Maronis screwing up the lil alliance him and sofia had with the shrooms/asians. Vik messing up planting the jewels. Maroni surviving the kill attempt.
I dont think any of Oz's plans have worked other than going to the asians for the shrooms and the stuff he set up with the maronis hitting the falcone truck :dead:

Oh yea, Al's body being dropped off saved him. So that worked too. So he like 3.5/9 :ehh:
You're right. He actually screws up more than he succeeds. But he keeps it rolling with it. Next scene after a screw up is him looking down, his eyes darting left and right while he thinks. Then he screams "Alright! fukk it! We'll just...."

We can learn a thing or two from his resilience. I woulda called it quits twenty steps ago. Soon as I killed the Falcone son I'd be like "Alright. Time to move overseas and lay low. I'll miss you Gotham :sadcam:"

First episode I didn’t care for and was agitated, like what the fukk is this fake Sopranos shyt. But now dude seem true to character and with Sophia I love that it’s not all comic booked out with Batman and shyt. It wouldn’t even really make sense to me at this point in the show. But I agree atleast at a future season, he should be mentioned. But it’s dude origins right now
