Warning ! This post contains spoiler for The PenguinI still ca n’t believeDCkilled off one of my pet new characters only weeks after they were first stick in . As see inThe Penguin , Colin Farrell ’s Oz Cobb fights to gain control of Gotham City following the issue of 2022’sThe Batman . While it was quickly established that Oz was willing to do whatever it take to get what he wanted , it ’s still hard to consider that one of the final costs was the deprivation of one ofThe Penguin’smost critical characters .
As see inThe Penguin’sfinale sequence , Oz Cobb gets everything he wants , having united Gotham ’s gangs under one banner while also work with corrupt political leader at city hall to get Sofia Falcone ( Cristin Milioti ) sent back to Arkahm State Hospital . By the show ’s end , Penguin is one of the most powerful criminals in Gotham , though none of it would have been possible without the help from his good - handwriting man Victor Aguilar ( Rhenzy Feliz ) . As a result , I ca n’t believeThe Penguinended with Victor ’s brutal and disgraceful execution so sooner after being introduced and considering the likely hereafter he could have had inThe Batmanuniverse .
Victor Aguilar’s Introduction & Death In The World Of The Batman Were Only Weeks Apart
He Died So Soon (And So Young)
Remarkably , Victor Aguilar debut inThe Penguinepisode 1 on September 19th , having been enamour by Oz trying to still the wheels off his Maserati . Forcibly taking Victor under his annexe and making him his correct - hired man man , Victor quickly became a fundamental friend and confidant whole helped Oz get his drug operations off the ground and even help keep Oz ’s female parent good throughout the DC show . However , Victor ultimately was murdered by Oz himself inThe Penguin’sfinale which aired on November 10th .
Set to release in 2024 , The Penguin will preserve to flesh out Matt Reeves ' Gotham with Colin Farrell set to recapitulate his role as Oz Cobb .
Without Victor , it ’s likely that Oz would n’t have grow nearly as far as he has at the top of the Gotham underworld . Case in point , it was Victor ’s idea to unite all the various deputies of Gotham ’s gangs and pull in their dedication , especially now that they ’re the new heads going forward . ingest a kind streak even as he further embraced the Gotham gangster life , Victor well became a devotee - favorite character inThe Penguin . As such , it ’s no wonderment that the cyberspace was in shock followingOz ’s surprisal conclusion to mutilate Victor , having feared that he could become a helplessness and be used against him .

Victor Aguilar’s Connection To The Batman’s Gotham Meant I Hoped He Would Live
I Was Hoping For Some Sort of Redemption Arc
I really was hoping for some sort of redemption arc for Victor Aguilar , even as he gradually compromises himself to become one of Oz ’s most loyal allies . He was also a very useful character to show the inner workings of the underworld and how the work being done by Penguin could serve to benefit the less - off share of Gotham overall . However , my initially hope had been that Victor would eventually become estranged from Oz byThe Penguin’sfinale , perhaps even being unwilling to crop with him further after the trueness about Oz ’s past times came to light .
Instead , Victor remained by Oz ’s side throughout his entire ploy to become Gotham ’s new swivel pin of law-breaking . As such , this only serves to make Victor ’s death even bad as it ’s the accurate rationality why Penguin decide to kill him . They ’d grown too nigh , and the well - intentioned Victor have intercourse too much about how to spite Oz most . He ’s also become a potential point of leverage that others could have used against Oz down the argumentation , a perceived " weakness " The Penguin apparently could n’t suffer now that he ’s got the top speckle in Gotham . Oz shoot down Victor , all they ’d been through together , was the import that truly broke me .
The Batman’s Robin Theory Makes Victor’s Death Even Worse
Victor Could Have Been So Much More
to boot , what shit Victor ’s death even worse is thinking about all that Aguilar could have become in Gotham going ahead . For model , he could have been an effective deputy in his own right for Penguin . However , there were other theories beforeThe Penguin’sfinale that Victor could have become a version of RobininThe Batmanuniverse , becoming ineffectual to reconcile all the pain in the neck and suffering Oz is capable of causing in the city .
" It kills me that Victor Aguilar was murdered so soon after he was introduced intoThe Batmanuniverse … "
Interestingly enough , it was confirmed that an fundamental interaction between Victor and Robert Pattinson ’s Bruce Wayne was considered before the succession was ultimately scrapped . At any pace , it would have been fascinating to see what Victor could have become had Oz not stop his life so unseasoned . As such , it kills me that Victor Aguilar was murdered so soon after he was inaugurate intoThe Batmanuniverse .
