What Season 1 of The Penguin
One week after the events of The Batman, Oz Cobb, a former subordinate of Carmine Falcone, tries to fill the void left by his boss's death. Gotham is still reeling from the flood, and the underworld has no clear leader, so several factions are fighting for power. Oz, known as The Penguin, wants to become a boss in his own right and keep the promise he made to his mother, Francis. To do it, he must face Sofia and Alberto Falcone, the Maroni family, run from prison by Salvatore Maroni, and his own bad reputation, which weighs heavily in the underworld.
