Speaking previously about the film, Farrell said: “It’s dark, that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark and very heavy, I think, it definitely was. Which isn’t to say I didn’t have fun with it. I had a lot of fun with it. But it’s incredibly violent.”
Speaking about the story, he said: “It’s a man’s ascension to what he’s always dreamed of inhabiting, which is a certain power or status. And the death of Carmine Falcone at the end of the film leaves this void in Gotham to fill.
“And so there are various people trying to grab that power and this is Oswald’s journey, trying to get to the top, through extraordinary obstacles and it’s super dark. Lauren LeFranc has written a really twisted eight hours of television.”
