The moment Sofia Falcone stepped into that fateful family dinner in that yellow dress. penguinIn the fourth episode of “Sentani”, actress Cristin Milioti cemented the character as one of Batman’s greatest villains of all time. Her canary moment in the mine is one of the best scenes of the show, with Milioti and penguin Showrunner Lauren LeFranc and Director Helen Shaver.
By then, we had seen the events of the mob heir being made the scapegoat by his father for his murder at the hands of the Hangman and his trauma at Arkham. It was only after his death that she was freed from his sins. Batman. But still, her freedom came less thanks to Oz and more bad juju. Because she soon lost her brother and the plans for a modern drug empire. In “Centani,” she faces her family sending her to Italy and continuing to gaslight her in an attempt to usurp her power like so many before her.
In an interview with indie wireThe actress talked about how creating her dream Batman villain with Lefranc was a team effort. “As soon as I signed on, I was on the phone with Lauren for hours explaining everything and received the first four scripts,” Milioti said. “I had the time to call her and talk to her and actually sit down with them and study them, and she guided me through the last four in terms of what was going to happen, the big things that were going to happen there. But I understood that as soon as I called.
From the beginning, anything was possible for Milioti. “I’m a huge fan of Batman and it’s been my lifelong dream to be a Batman villain and really show her whole story. If that’s what comes from the female brain, you can feel it. You can feel it, you can feel it,” she said.
The yellow dress has sparked many threads on Reddit about where to find it. In fact, it was created by costume designer Helen Huang specifically for Sophia’s moments of power. “There were 10,000 fittings for that dress,” she said. “We talked constantly with Helen about what would flow most freely and have her watch this body language. It was the first time we saw her actually breathe, experience joy, You experience lightness…yet we wanted it to show everything.”And we also knew that we would end up using this gas mask, so we looked through the gas mask’s viewfinder. I wanted to add something to her eyes that I could see. ”
Milioti explained that Sofia appeared in this scene to show off her “new war paint” and “signal that there has been a change in her.” It was so exciting to put them all together. Also, I know we’re creating this Batman villain, but when are we going to do it? ”
Milioti is as hopeful as we are that she returns to the role, as there are “endless possibilities” as to where Sofia goes next.
“Of course I want to see her come out of Arkham. That’s like No. 1. I don’t want her in there. So I want to see her come out of there and get revenge. I want to see it accomplished,” she said. “Maybe now she’ll be an even looser cannon, because before it was focused on him and gaining power. But depending on what happens to her there, it could become an even bigger target.” I would like to explore that.”
