QuentinHOST
Again, without spoiling anything, I...
QuentinHOST
Maybe some Gotham or Batman or DC purists may say, "Well, why didn't they get, like, a more well-known or existing, um, like, Gotham thug to, uh, to play this role? They coulda got Black Mask or they coulda got Salvatore Maroni, or, or they coulda got Falcone."
CalebHOST
You don't need it.
QuentinHOST
You don't need it.
Javi TrujilloGUEST
Dark Victory's, like, the final nail in the coffin.
Javi TrujilloGUEST
Even, um, taking out the Maronis, uh, Umberto and Pino, like, I liked...
Javi TrujilloGUEST
Uh, 'cause we didn't really see them in, in, uh, Long Halloween.
Javi TrujilloGUEST
They were just Dark Victory.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
the rest of those holiday killings.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
Certainly, what we see in the story is Alberto Falcone killing Maroni deep into the story, and seemingly being the one responsible for the killings generally.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
And in the final chapter, we see Harvey, now Two-Face, killing Carmine Falcone.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
And I think it stands to reason that Alberto likely was the one behind the killing of the coroner in The Long Halloween and his aunt Carla, who was poking around the medical examiner's office because he had to preserve the illusion that he had actually been killed on New Year's Eve.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
But yeah, I guess circling back to this question, yeah, you're right.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
I mean, there, there are three.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
If we take Gilda at her word that she did the first few, we see Alberto kill Maroni, and then we see Two-Face kill Carmine.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
But yeah, I, I guess, I guess I just, I kinda keep coming back to this question.
speaker_2HOST
So true.
speaker_3HOST
You cannot physically assault a centuries-old cabal of old money elites without destabilizing the entire city, and you cannot punch a mobster who uses legal loopholes, bribery, and legitimate businesses as a shield.
speaker_2HOST
Right.
speaker_2HOST
The law protects them in a twisted way.
8 MINS LATER
speaker_3HOST
He was the white knight of the city, fighting the mob through the legal system while Batman fought them in the shadows
speaker_2HOST
They were a team
speaker_3HOST
But he transforms into the villain Two-Face after the mobster Sal Maroni throws a vial of acid in his face during a trial, hideously scarring half of his face and fracturing his psyche
speaker_2HOST
And from that moment on, his entire identity revolves around obsession with duality He bases every single major life or death decision on the flip of a two-headed coin where one side is heavily scarred.
JamesHOST
He's in Dexter New Blood.
JamesHOST
He's in The Penguin playing Sal Maroney.
JamesHOST
He's Mr. Fucking Crabs.
JamesHOST
He's Lex Luthor in the DC animated universe.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
But Like we said, the holiday killer is at large here throughout this year, holiday to holiday.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
And in the penultimate chapter of the story, Sal Maroney is killed by Holiday, who stands revealed as Alberto Falcone, who seemingly met his own end earlier in the story, but is alive here and claims responsibility for these holiday killings.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
Then in our final chapter, we have Harvey now turned into Two-Face who launches this attack on Falcone alongside the freaks of Gotham.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
And he puts two bullets in Carmine's head.
Ryan LowerGUEST
No
Anthony DesiatoHOST
... just a really quick refresher, we have a serial killer nicknamed Holiday by the press, who strikes appropriately on holidays and targets members of the Falcone and Maroni crime families, and we have our united trio of Batman, Gordon, and Dent working to, to bring this killer to justice.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
Now let me just stop right there.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
I, I said Falcone, so I've gone with the pronunciation that we've often heard on screen and in the animated adaptation, but in my heart of hearts, I always wanna say Falcone.
13 MINS LATER
Anthony DesiatoHOST
... you've watched the movie.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
But in case you haven't, this is your opportunity to, to hit pause here.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
But like we said, the, the, the Holiday killer is at large here throughout this year, holiday to holiday, and in the penultimate chapter of the story, uh, Sal Maroni is killed by Holiday, who stands revealed as Alberto Falcone, who seemingly met his own end earlier in the story, but is alive here and claims responsibility for these Holiday killings.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
Then in our final chapter, we have, uh, Harvey now turned into Two-Face, who launches this attack on Falcone, uh, alongside the Freaks of Gotham, and he puts two bullets in Carmine's head.
