re: #475 Feline Fearless Leader

I’d question doing it (non-developing placement of a future villain) at all. You’re essentially just wasting episode time for a cameo that is essentially meaningless for the development of the series.

Sure. I agree. I think these early episodes were a proof of concept more than anything else. They have to cram all this stuff in to get the network on board. My hope is that as the show goes on they don’t have to rely on Batman’s villains anymore since they’re supposed to be focused on the city of Gotham, not Batman. Bruce Wayne is a kid. He’s not going to be facing the Joker anytime soon.

They’re setting up some interesting ideas with Penguin, and he has the potential to become a very, very dark character. Everyone underestimates him, but it’s there. I want to see where they take him. I just hope they do it organically instead of trying to have him team up with some other known villain or whatever. It’s waaay too soon for that.
