The Penguin’s showrunner Lauren LeFranc has shut down a huge fan theory.
In the final episode of the popular series featuring Colin Farrell, viewers were left believing that Theo Rossi’s enigmatic character Dr Julian Rush, a psychiatrist at Arkham State Hospital and Sofia Falcone’s therapist, might transform into the infamous Batman adversary known as Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane.
It’s due to keen-eyed spectators spotting some fascinating items in his workspace, specifically a glove and a mask that seem strikingly similar to those used by the Scarecrow character in previous Batman adaptations.
Contrarily, showrunner LeFranc recently dismissed that theory when he told ScreenRant at the Golden Globes: “I can confirm he’s not the Scarecrow”.
Given the costume items displayed in the final episode and the typical portrayal of Jonathan Crane as a psychiatrist fixated on the influence of fear on the human psyche, this could come as quite a shock to fans.
It appears LeFranc’s remark is quite decisive, but couldn’t the presence of those prop items possibly be an accident rather than intentional?
From her statement, it seems clear that Dr Julian Rush will not portray the Scarecrow in the current series of The Batman, but it does not necessarily mean that the Scarecrow character won’t show up in future Batman films or potential seasons of The Penguin.
It’s possible that Julian Rush is connected to The Scarecrow through business dealings, similar to how Sofia Falcone is one of his clients.
In fact, could we end up seeing Julian Rush become the therapist of various iconic Batman villains?
It’s possible that the Scarecrow is related to Julian Rush, either as a friend or family member. Given the arrangement of objects in his office, it seems plausible that the Scarecrow might have been a mentor figure for Julian. Even after LeFranc’s recent comments, there are still many possibilities left to consider.
At the moment, it’s uncertain if we’ll get a second season of The Penguin; however, creator LeFranc hinted that there are additional narratives to explore given the right cast and plot.
He mentioned that the original plan was for it to be an eight-hour miniseries, but given its success, “it seems likely that when something is successful, viewers often wish to reexperience it.
When it came to designing the appearance of the Penguin, Lauren LeFranc’s team of writers, including myself, and makeup/prosthetic artist Mike Marino, were all guided by Matt’s unique vision for the universe. In other words, we made sure our ideas aligned with Matt’s creative direction.
If Matt decides to make a second season, I’d definitely be open to it. However, after wrapping up this project, I feel satisfied and content. Despite complaining about lack of material in the initial movie, I now feel fulfilled. I’ve been involved for long enough, and while the experience was incredible, it was quite an intense journey.
