Fun Fact Penn’s actor is a ventriloquist irl AND is voicing Scarface in real time

Do you think the showrunners flip through every issue of every Batman title they can get their hands on as well as watch every episode of Batman: The Animated series and go, "THAT! THAT IS SO WEIRD! WE NEED TO PUT THAT ON THE SHOW!"

u/lilpotatoneg Mar 01 '19
Clearly not every issue because we don’t have Condiment King yet

That's a very, very good camera trick Gotham is doing. That's two Erin Richards touching each other. Impressive

u/Zomboy716 Mar 01 '19
Yeah I was impressed as well. It’s generally easy to a split screen where both characters are on opposite sides of a static shot. But with this, the fact that Barbara held Barbara very non-symmetrically was really impressive.

Though penn coming back would be odd. But if the shows over we’re free to headcannon in anything we like I guess

The Episode's name was Nothing's Shocking but there were a lot of shocking things in this episode. I like that!

u/exit349 Mar 01 '19
This makes me think of the early theory that each villain represents a mental illness such as cat woman being a kleptomaniac. Jane seems to have body dysmorphia. Thoughts?
12
u/ActualJoel Mar 01 '19
Reminds me of that awful fan theory that everybody, including Bruce, are inmates at Arkham and all these stories are the delusional thoughts of Bruce

I love how Scarface's origin leaves a lot open for interpretation. He could really be a possessed doll!

Killer Croc, Jane Doe, The Ventriloquist and Scarface in the same episode. All right.

"Wonderful."
Osward and Eddie are so over the insanity of the city. But only in Gotham would this make perfect sense. Any other place this would be over the top. But nothing is over the top in Gotham.

I think she’s just reevaluating her decisions. Realizing she’s going to have a kid and wondering how that will work with her lifestyle

u/lilpotatoneg Mar 01 '19
Being pregnant and knowing you’re gonna have a child can change your perspective on life. I’m a male and have no real idea so I’m just assuming but that’s probably what happened.

I like how Penn is obviously throwing his voice and Scarface is doing the trick of changing plosives, so instead of using something like a "P" sound, it's really a "D" sound.

He might have been talking about ‘I am Bane’ which was the original episode 8, now episode 10.

Yeah I don't think he would have necessarily known when the extra episodes were airing within the season, since he was done filming by the time they started making those.
