DC fans have been buzzing with excitement over a mysterious QR code that appeared in the recently released The Penguin Episode 1. The code, seemingly placed strategically, has sparked a wave of online speculation and theories. What secrets does it hold? Does it lead to hidden content, a bonus episode, or perhaps something even more intriguing? As viewers eagerly search for answers, the QR code has become a focal point of discussion, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already captivating show.
Here’s everything we know about the QR code.
Where does the secret QR code appear in The Penguin Episode 1?
In The Penguin Episode 1, a QR code is subtly introduced during a scene featuring the titular character and his young accomplice, Vic. This seemingly insignificant detail, discovered by astute viewers, led to a real-world website.
The code appears on a piece of paper being distributed by a masked individual believed to be affiliated with the Riddler (played by Paul Dano in 2022’s The Batman) on a train, suggesting a potential connection between the two villains and hinting at further intrigue in the series.
What does The Penguin’s secret QR Code lead to?
When scanned, the QR code directs users to a real-world website, Gotham’s True Face website, as mentioned by the masked man on the train. This website subsequently redirects to the Rataladaa website, previously used for cryptic Riddler-themed marketing.
A new message on the Rataladaa site, seemingly related to The Penguin, mentions the start of a “revolution” and calls for a “Meet at the metro outside Crown Point.” This suggests that more cryptic teases may be forthcoming as the series progresses. (via The Direct)
The appearance of the QR code in The Penguin and its connection to the Rataladaa website underscores the close relationship between the series and The Batman. The events of the previous film will have a significant impact on the eight-episode run of The Penguin, not only affecting Oz’s personal story but also shaping the broader narrative. The lingering influence of the Riddler’s followers suggests potential future developments, including the possibility of Dano’s character returning in The Batman Part 2.
