WHAT THIS MEANS
Based on Heller’s comments, the introduction of Lucius into the second season will be pivotal in turning the story around. On the surface, this could potentially mean that the character’s debut could steer the direction of Alfred’s adventures into the city of Gotham. This is pure speculation at this point, but this theory makes sense since it gives a reason for Alfred to make his way into the iconic city.
Part of the fun of telling a prequel story like
Pennyworth
is the opportunity of fleshing out known characters from the Batman lore. The first season gave fans an opportunity to witness the growth of important characters from Bruce Wayne’s life such as his parents and Alfred himself. Adding Lucius to the mix will definitely add to the excitement and intrigue about finding out how this particular character came to be before being an integral part into the life of the Dark Knight.
