Fox's Gotham Spoilers: Twitter Reacts To Ben Mckenzie, Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin Finale!

The first season finale of the Batman prequel, Gotham, aired on Fox. Twitter had lots to say as Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) went against gangster Oswald Coppleput/Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) as he fought to become "The King of Gotham City" and took out the competition.

In our previous recap, while the Ogre was holding Barbara (Erin Richards) hostage as his sex slave, Bruce (David Mazouz) discovered his father was just as corrupt as everyone else in Gotham. Though he failed to save Barbara's murdered parents, Gordon put a bullet in the Ogre's head in their final standoff. Penguin set up the final stage of his plan as Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni are now engaged in a mob war.

In our recent recap, after a botched hit, Gordon came to the rescue of Carmine Falcone just when Penguin was about to slit his throat. Trouble mounted for the detective as Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith) returned with a vengeance and shot Sal Maroni (David Zayas) in the head. Elsewhere, Barbara confessed to Leslie Tompkins (Morena Baccarin) that she murdered her parents and almost tried to kill her.

In the closing minutes, Falcone gave up his life of crime after Jim helped him to a safe house. The Penguin took his revenge on Fish, grabbed her, and threw her off the roof; officially making him the number 1 mob boss. Bruce discovered his father was actually hiding the Batcave.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smith reveals what Fish's mindset was during her death scene, "First of all, she's like, "No way! You can forget it!" If she heard that going down, you can best believe she's going to do everything she can to survive or rise from the dead to make sure he never says those words again. She is pissed. She's not happy about that at all. He probably feels that for the time being, but that's not going to last. No."
