The finale of The Penguin shocks DC fans with the death of a beloved character

In the finale of The Penguin, events in the underworld of Gotham City come to a head. Oswald “Oz” Cobb (Colin Farrell) is determined to finally take control of the streets of the icy metropolis. His big master plan seems to be working. But He still has one thing to dobefore he is untouchable.

For eight episodes, we watched Oz work with Victor “Vic” Aguilar (Rhenzy Feliz). He actually wanted to eliminate the homeless teenager in the first episode to cover his tracks. In the end, however, the pleading look convinced him and he introduced Vic as his right hand a.

However, at the end of the 8th episode of The Penguin, Oz comes to the conclusion that Vic has seen too much. He is no longer a practical help, not even a pawn sacrifice that he can use. Vic poses a threat to the empire he has painstakingly built. With his own hands Oz strangles the boy.

Oz kills Vic in the finale of The Penguin: This is how DC fans react to the terrifying twist

It’s the most abysmal moment in a series that really doesn’t lack for abysses. It’s no wonder many DC fans are devastated after this shocking twist. Vic was one of the few glimmers of hope in crime-infested Gotham. Now he was taken around the corner by the devil himself.

On X (formerly Twitter) many DC fans come together and share their sadness over the loss of their beloved character. “This is one of the most heartbreaking and tragic deaths on a series in recent memory.”writes a fan, sharing the painful moment when Oz reveals his ugliest side.

Particularly bitter: Against all odds, Vic made it to the last few minutes, only to have to bite the dust in the end.

Oz addresses himself with the words “I can’t bring you with me this time” to Vic before finishing him off. DC fans will never forget this quote.

No matter how hard you throw yourself against your screen, no one can save Vic. The creative minds behind the series have created an uncompromising ending.

Emotional screams and nervous breakdowns are the order of the day in The Penguin finale, but nothing hits home like Vic’s death.

Vic, so innocent, sincere and loyal, definitely put his trust in the wrong person. By now no one should be on Oz’s side anymore.

Yes, that breaks your heart.

How does the story of The Penguin continue? Is season 2 coming or is it already over?

We won’t see anything more of Vic in the Batman Epic Crime Saga. The story of Oz, on the other hand, is not yet finished. In the cinema sequel The Batman Part II, the villain will once again take on Robert Pattinson’s dark knight. It is unclear whether there will be a second season of The Penguin.

Colin Farrell has already signaled that he could definitely imagine returning for further episodes if the scripts convince him. For now, however, The Penguin was only conceived as a miniseries that acts as a bridge between the two Batman films. No further plans are known to date.
