The Penguin Name-Drops an Iconic Batman Storyline
In “The Penguin,” we find ourselves post-Riddler’s destruction of Gotham City in “The Batman.” This city devastation has echoes of a well-known Batman comic book story, which is explicitly referenced within the new episode – the 1999 event “No Man’s Land.” However, there are connections to other Batman comic arcs that lead up to this event as well. Let me share how it subtly weaves its way into the series. Be warned, spoilers for “The Penguin” episode 2 follow from here on out.
