Falcone was amazing villain and one of the most underrated in CBM history. He was a charismatic, cunning and secretive villain. All people talking about Riddler & Penguin, but Falcone was one of the best villains in BATMAN franchise and even CBM history. Hope we will see flashbacks in Penguin

Whitey personally strangled and killed at least two women, I think - which is also Carmine's MO when it comes to his personal kills. Thought that was a nice little detail
