Warning: This article contains spoilers The penguin episode 4.
Penguin episode 4 takes us to Arkham with an entire flashback episode dedicated to Sofia Falcone and includes some familiar comic book characters along the way. One of the inmates that Sofía meets behind bars is the cheerful Urraca, who ends up being her neighbor in the cell next door.
When Sofia stays inside Arkham, she returns to the cantina where Magpie is chirping. “I can show you the garden,” he says. “There are no plants though, it's more of a garden. I'm always looking for birds.” However, when Magpie tells Sofia that she will finally be able to do the drugs, Falcone's daughter explodes. Convinced that he has been spying on her, she breaks his head and leaves him to bleed to death.
Who is Magpie?
While he doesn't last long, Magpie actually has some connections to the comics. Margaret Pie, also known as Magpie, first appeared in 1986's The Man of Steel #3. She is a jewel thief whose favorite reward is jewelry named after birds. However, as Batman's supervillain, there's naturally a twist when he replaces them with booby-trapped replicas.
Her origin story saw her working as a museum curator, where all the beautiful objects she coveted drove her crazy. Over the years, she has also been linked to other important characters, as she was Poison Ivy's cellmate in Arkham for some time and later worked for the Penguin.
This isn't actually the first time we've seen her in live action either, as she previously appeared in both Gotham and the Arrowverse series Batwoman.
