The thing about Matt Reeves' direction is that he tricked us into thinking that the penguin would be just another superhero show where the villainous character, by the virtue of being the protagonist, becomes an anti-hero with a tragic backstory. Instead he gave us the most compelling, manipulative gaslighter main character who really shows you just how he's going to be one of the most terrifying batman villains in his trilogy.

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.
