‘Gotham’s’ Robin Lord Taylor Talks Penguin Joker Reddit Fan Theory: Is Oswald Cobblepot Really Killer Clown? [BATMAN] [DC COMICS]

Gotham is one of the hottest TV shows of the new season, and Robin Lord-Taylor’s portrayal as Oswald Cobblepot is one of the most talked about parts of the new series. Cobblepot, as fans of the comics will know, is the real name of the criminal kingpin The Penguin. However, one Reddit users seems to think that the Gotham version of Cobblepot might grow to become the Joker instead. Now Taylor has opened up about the theory.

Robin Lord Taylor recently spoke to MTV about the possibility of Oswald becoming the Joker:

“I find it incredibly unlikely, but at the same time, I have no idea what could happen. I get the scripts and I’ll read something, and I will be just as shocked as everyone else is when they see it happen onscreen.”
Robin Lord Taylor went on to talk about the the Reddit theory itself, adding:

“I read it, and I was like, ‘Huh.’ I was like, ‘Nah.’ But then I was so impressed at the detail that this person went into… the guy who formulated this theory. I was just amazed at the amount of attention that people are paying to the show. I mean, he was looking at the colors of my vest and my suit, and extrapolating off of that.”
