Yeah, I immediately recognized her as "The Mother"...

And then quickly got to "woah, this role is NOT that role..."

So crazy what she had to go through just because she was suspicious of her piece of shit dad.

The dynamic between Oz and Vic reminds me of this timeless set from Pryor:

NSFW: It's Pryor

10/10. Oz is a sick man. God I wish The Bat2 didn’t get delayed a year

What a tremendous series, the making of an absolute monster. Can’t wait for him to meet his match.

I feel like setting the Maronis on fire was a bit of a clue, fellas.

Almost like the writers realized "oh...yeah, he might be getting a little too sympathetic here. Let's go ahead and have him torch a woman so we can remind people that this is a REALLY bad dude..."

It was kinda like in Barry when the writers were getting annoyed at how the audience was responding to Barry so they had him do some kinda heinous shit.

I mean...you can't say the writers didn't try to warn ya.

Oz was not a good dude.

And left him there like garbage.
I'd have liked to have seen Oz give Vic a good amount of cash to leave town. Like "Take this,kid, and leave Gotham tonight because if you stay, I'm afraid of what I might do to ya. Go to California with your dame and get as far away from me as possible!"

To me, that still establishes him as a monster but gets Vic out of there. But alas, the way they did it is more memorable and will go down as one of the coldest and saddest moments in recent television history

That's just far more thoughtful than you'd ever see from Oz. He's entirely impulse. From shooting Alberto to killing his brothers, he simply acts then deals with the consequences. Telling Vic to get out of town would've been out of character for him.

Really great show.

Felt terrible for Vic but could see that coming a mile away. In order to be a Batman rogue, you basically have to be one of the most mentally ill people on the planet lol

[ThaVirus]

Oh, and I wanted to mention..

Spoiler!

… how ****ed up it was that he killed Vic for potentially being a liability only to leave the hooker who actually dimed him out alive lol

I think the reason they had to have him kill Vic is that if he's going to be a 'big bad' in a Batman movie, he has to be pure evil. Batman villains aren't typically superpowered or supernatural. They're just crazy or savage.

If he lets Vic go, he's just another gangster in Gotham. And I don't think that's enough to carry the antagonist role. He has to be an absolute monster who's not just looking to run the drug trade. There has to be more than that.

And this can be a step towards that.
