Showrunner Lauren LeFranc and her team managed to take a minor character from The Batman and turn him into a fascinating protagonist who evolved from Carmine Falcone's chief lieutenant into a criminal kingpin in his own right.
The Penguin enriches the world that The Batman director Matt Reeves has created in the overarching film franchise, making it a great companion piece, yet arguably an even better stand-alone project.
The series is a huge success for Warner Bros. and DC Studios by just about any metric: The Penguin is a critical darling that is already garnering buzz for next year's Emmys.
While Sunday's finale, "A Great or Little Thing," lays some groundwork for The Batman Part II, it also serves as a fitting and wholly satisfying conclusion to the series' story.
