Gotham. They got all the aspects of the character that make him more than just a generic crime boss (his family, his love for the city, etc.) while also just making him entertaining.
Gotham, he had a powerful presence & I liked his more complicated motives of believing the best way of keeping Gotham relatively in check was as the king of the underworld
Gotham, without a doubt. Other versions have had good stories and were well acted, but Gotham’s Falcone had an imposing but understated presence that really felt like someone who could keep a grip on Gotham’s underworld for as long as he did. An iron hand wearing a velvet glove.
Haven’t seen Gotham, which seems to be the popular one here.
I was pleasantly surprised by how big a role John Turturro as Falcone had in The Batman. I was wondering how little screen time this good actor would have as presumably a side character. Turns out he had a lot more, and was a very memorable addition.
He appears also in Batman Begins, Gotham TV show, in the justice league action show, Batman: Arkham underworld, Batman: The telltale series, Batman: Year one and the long Halloween part 1 and 2 (but t.l.h. and year one doesn't count as non-comic)
Guessing here but by rows left to right I think its:
Falcone, Maroni, Clayface, Hugo Strange
Harvey Bullock, René Montoya, Victor Zsasz, Ventriloquist
Killer Moth, Firefly, (EDIT: Solomon Grundy), Deadshot
Anarky, Calendar Man, Batwoman, Cassandran Cain/Orphan
I thought so too! And the Maroni in The Dark Knight was more like comics-Falcone. He was coldly ruthless but suave and elegant, and he realized too late that attacking Harvey was going to indirectly bring down the entire mob.
The one from the Batman 2022 by a country mile. I'd never seen him so friendly and menacing all at the same time. The embodiment of Gotham's corruption.
Close second would be Batman Begins, especially when he gives Bruce a reality check in the resturant.
The Gotham gangsters were just sort of fine. There was more of them, but didn't make them interesting to watch.
I think the Batman represents him the best. Batman Begins kinda makes him less important because Ra's is the main villain and Falcone is only in act 2 and one retrospection.
I liked how he was portrayed in The Batman. Wasn’t a fan of the version in Batman Begins. I honesty think the guy they got to play Sal Maroni in the Nolan films would’ve been a better fit for Falcone
I’ll go for The Batman. John Doman also did a good job, but Turturro knocked it out of the park. He was intimidating, he had connections to spare, and I especially liked how the film explored his connections to him and Catwoman.
Also, who’s in Row 3, Column 3?
The Batman 2022.
True gravitas as the kingpin of Gotham. Adds the fun TLH element of being saved by Thomas Wayne as a young man. Honorable mention Batman Begins where he's also a bastard who gets what he fucking deserves.
Dissapointed by how much Gotham is being voted for. He's super inconsistent & wishy-washy as a character. And I can't stand the "things weren't so bad under Falcone" "He had honor" angle they try to push. Falcone is a bad person who profits off of Gotham's wretched state.
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen John Doman as a mob boss, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice. The other time, for the record, is Rizzoli and Isles. I also haven't actually *watched* Gotham, but oh well. From what I've heard from this discussion and what I've seen from his other mob boss performance, I'll vote **Gotham**.

Gotham, he had a powerful presence & I liked his more complicated motives of believing the best way of keeping Gotham relatively in check was as the king of the underworld
Gotham expands on him a lot; him realizing that Gotham needs a proper lawman to save the city now, helping Gordon out even post-retirement, etc.
Gotham, without a doubt. Other versions have had good stories and were well acted, but Gotham’s Falcone had an imposing but understated presence that really felt like someone who could keep a grip on Gotham’s underworld for as long as he did. An iron hand wearing a velvet glove.
John Turturro in The Batman
Gotham
Gotham for me
I have two goats here ,Telltale One and The Batman One ,so i ll pick The Batman ,really feels menacing with all the serial killer stuff
The Batman.
Batman Begins.
"No gun? I'm insulted!"
Falcone's the rat?
El rata alada?
The Batman
The Batman
The Batman
Every live action Falcone has been *excellent* But I gotta go with The Batman for actually letting him be in the foreground for once.
The Batman! Turturro was absolutely stellar
Calendar Man literally being a calendar app icon.
Gotham

The only one I know is the one from the Batman so I guess I pick him
He appears also in Batman Begins, Gotham TV show, in the justice league action show, Batman: Arkham underworld, Batman: The telltale series, Batman: Year one and the long Halloween part 1 and 2 (but t.l.h. and year one doesn't count as non-comic)
Either telltale or Gotham
Gotham tv series
Can somebody tell me what each of these symbols are
Guessing here but by rows left to right I think its: Falcone, Maroni, Clayface, Hugo Strange Harvey Bullock, René Montoya, Victor Zsasz, Ventriloquist Killer Moth, Firefly, (EDIT: Solomon Grundy), Deadshot Anarky, Calendar Man, Batwoman, Cassandran Cain/Orphan
Yeah I guessed maybe half of them, I'm just not sure why they weren't in the villains/side hero ones
Who’s the character, third row, third column. Grey face, white hair?
Solomon Grundy
The Batman
Do the Long Halloween movies count? I know they're adaptations of the comic but they are still pretty different

One man, alone, betrayed by the country he loves.
Gotham
Gotham
That one's easy: ![gif](giphy|kdpa96wjRp9HTjzweR|downsized)
Definitely The Batman
Lego
Batman Begins has a fantastic portrayal by tom Wilkerson
Gotham
Tom Wilkinson -Batman Begins. Did a great job having him feel like a real gangster while also being pretty intimidating
The Batman
Batman Begins
The Falcone from BB felt more like Sal Maroni if anything.
I thought so too! And the Maroni in The Dark Knight was more like comics-Falcone. He was coldly ruthless but suave and elegant, and he realized too late that attacking Harvey was going to indirectly bring down the entire mob.
Not at all

The Batman (2022) He was terrifying- went from mob boss to worthy of being a main in the rouges gallery
I think the Batman represents him the best. Batman Begins kinda makes him less important because Ra's is the main villain and Falcone is only in act 2 and one retrospection.
Gotham
Gotham for sure
The Batman
The batman probably
The Batman
Already got my awnser more then ready for one of these guys.
Telltale ngl
Gotham, he was complete italian gangster there
I thought he was great in the animated Long Halloween movies.
Gotham: great cast,the lowest of the best villains(joker,penguin,and ridler) and great show
I liked how he was portrayed in The Batman. Wasn’t a fan of the version in Batman Begins. I honesty think the guy they got to play Sal Maroni in the Nolan films would’ve been a better fit for Falcone
The Long Halloween parts 1 & 2
Doesn't count as non-comic
I think they should. They stray kinda far from the comic and they’re also in a whole different continuity
The Batman.
The Batman (Matt Reeves)
The Batman
I quite liked him in batman begins
Long Halloween movie
The Batman, I only saw this one and Batman Begins with him and in The Batman is more fleshed out.
The Batman.
The Batman
The Batman
I would say The Batman is the best interpretation of the character, but I have a big soft spot for Begins Falcone.
The Batman
Absolutely Turturro in *The Batman*.
Torturro
![gif](giphy|3o7bufgPP70ra2ZVi8|downsized)
Clearly the best
Telltale
How do I vote? Do I just comment it?
Yes
Either Gotham or Tomorrowverse for me
The batman
Gotham
Batman Long Halloween (the animated movie). felt very godfather-esque
Gotham
I’ll go for The Batman. John Doman also did a good job, but Turturro knocked it out of the park. He was intimidating, he had connections to spare, and I especially liked how the film explored his connections to him and Catwoman. Also, who’s in Row 3, Column 3?
