    Cristin Milioti Knows Sofia Falcone Is an Iconic Batman Villain in The Penguin
    The moment that Sofia Falcone walks into that fateful family dinner wearing that yellow dress in The Penguins fourth episode, Centanni, actress Cristin Milioti solidified the character as one of the best Batman villains ever. Her canary in the coal mine moment is one of the shows best scenes, and was crafted in a collaboration between Milioti, Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc, and director Helen Shaver.By then wed seen the events that led the mob heiress to be scapegoated by her father for the murders at the hands of the Hangman and her trauma at Arkham because of him; she was only freed of his sins after his death in The Batman. But even then, her freedom came with more bad juju, no thanks to Oz, as she quickly lost her brother and their drug empire plans in the present day. In Centanni, she was facing her family continuing to gaslight her by sending her off to Italy in an attempt to take her power like so many others before her. In an interview with IndieWire, the actress shared how much of a team effort it was to create her dream Batman villain role with LeFranc. Pretty much as soon as I signed on. I had an hours-long phone call with Lauren where she walked me through everything, and then I got the first four scripts in, Milioti said. I had time to call her and talk to her and really sit with them and study them, and she sort of walked me through the last four in terms of what happens, the big events there, but so I got them pretty soon after I signed on.From the start Milioti was game for anything. Im such a huge Batman fan, its lifelong dream of mine to be a Batman villain and to get to really show her entire story. For that to come from a womans brainyou can just like sense it, you can feel it, she said. DC Studios The yellow dress launched many a Reddit thread on where to find it; in fact, it was created by costume designer Helen Huang especially for the moment Sofia steps into her power. I had 10,000 fittings for that dress, she said. We were in constant conversation with Helen about what would be the most free flowing and let you see this body languagethats the first time you see her breathe really, and experience joy, and experience lightness and yet we wanted it to show all the scars, and then we also knew it was going with this gas mask eventually, so I also wanted to do something with her eyes where you could see it through the viewfinder of the gas mask.Milioti described Sofias entrance in the scene as showing off hernew war paint, and signaling that theres been a shift in her. To combine all those things was so exciting. And also knowing we were building this Batman villain, like when do you get to do that? DC Studios Milioti hopes shell get to return to the role as much as we all do, since there infinite possibilities on where Sofia can go next.Obviously I would want to see her get out of Arkham. Thats like number one. I dont want her in there. So I want to see her get out there, and then exact revenge, she said. Maybe now she would be even more of a loose cannon, because before it was pretty focused on him and gaining power, but depending on what happens to her in there, it could be an even larger target. I would love to explore that.The Penguin is streaming on Max. Want more io9 news?

    House Along the Old Road / KOMINORU Design
    House Along the Old Road / KOMINORU DesignSave this picture!Courtesy of kominoru DESIGNHousesShimizu, JapanArchitects: KOMINORU DesignAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:152 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. This is a housing project along the old Tokaido road. Tokaido Road is one of the most important Five Routes connecting Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto and Osaka, of the Edo period in Japan. Old townscapes remain along this historical road. The exterior continues with the old Tokaido's wood-covered texture. There is a lot of traffic on the Tokaido side, but rather than blocking the outside world, the wooden panels at different angles are intended to reflect and drown out outside sounds. The orientation of the panels was arranged using a parametric design, and the angles were adjusted so that they changed little by little. Each panel was adjusted so that a large flow would be created when the entire panel was put together.Save this picture!A courtyard was created so that the living space revolves around the courtyard. The rooms were arranged so that the movement of the sun would brighten the study area and washroom in the morning, and the living room in the afternoon.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The first floor is a connected space so that you can enjoy a space whose atmosphere changes from moment to moment depending on the time of day. On the second floor, indoor and outdoor bridges surround the courtyard, creating a sense of circulation.Save this picture!Save this picture!By creating a level below the floor, we have created a space where you can bury yourself in the earth and relax. The base extends and forms a table. The stairs were raised with bolts to create a floating staircase in front of the garden. The roof is structured to form a courtyard, and Mt. Fuji can be seen through the gap between the two intersecting roofs.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialWoodMaterials and TagsPublished on January 04, 2025Cite: "House Along the Old Road / KOMINORU Design" 03 Jan 2025.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! Will Adapt Famous Cards Stories In Short Anime Series
    The official Yu-Gi-Oh! Account has announced the release of the first anime to adapt the lore of cards instead of focusing on an anime protagonist and their friends dueling to save the world. Yu-Gi-Oh! will release animated shorts starting in April 2025 adapting the stories of Sky Striker Ace and The Fallen of Albaz, after the premiere of an animated short video that debuted on the official Yu-Gi-Oh! YouTube account. Fans have speculated and begged to see that animated card game lore snippet expanded into a full series. The Yu-Gi-Oh anime has always focused on the original protagonist and their adventures in a Shonen-style series saving the world by dueling.
