The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc recently opened up about the decision to include Rhenzy Feliz"s Victor Aguilar in the series.
In an interview with Comic Book Resources, LeFranc explained:
I was really interested in a mentor-mentee relationship for Oz. I think in the criminal world, young men are brought up and sort of raised into it, and I think questions like why a kid like Victor would be interested in a world like this, and I always viewed their first interaction as a distorted, neat-cute. I did think when I first started to come up with Victor and this concept, "Why doesn"t Oz get a Robin? Batman gets one."
That is sort of where I started: that Oz himself would say that he is deserving of a mentee and to shepherd somebody in. I also thought about the power dynamic: it"s no accident that Oz has taken a kid like Victor under his wing because he likes being seen as powerful, and he knows that someone like Victor sees him as such. It"s more distorted – the idea of traditionally a villainous character bringing someone into his world is just sort of a different take in my mind than a Batman and Robin dynamic.
