Down To Watch

This week it's the first two episodes of the sequel series to The Batman and DTW is down to waddle! Dan and Raul both love the new HBO series on Max based on Batman's old school villain The Penguin and Colin Ferrell is a big part of it. The Irishman has tackled what could easily be a throwaway genre cliche with artistic aplomb. The result on paper is a straightforward crime story, but in live action is revealed to be a layered story built around an excellent performance. Ferrell is in good company with solid character actors, new faces, and the titular mother from How I Met Your Mother (Cristin Milioti), but this corner of the DC Universe is all about Oswald Cobb and can absolutely hook you after only two eps. What are the chances we'll see a gas umbrella or a duck boat though???
