The Penguin
The luck of Robert Pattinsons ’s Batman showing up in the newDCseries , The Penguin , are addressed by the creative team . While the creation thirstily waits forThe Batman - Part II , Matt Reeves is receive ready to blow up his DC Elseworlds franchise by taking his universe to the humankind of television . After being introduce as one of the scoundrel inThe Batman , Colin Farrell is recapitulate the role of Oz Cobb inThe PenguinTV show , which will finally set uphis return key forThe Batman - Part II .
In a newSFX magazineinterview withThe Penguinshowrunner Lauren LeFranc and executive manufacturer Matt Reeves , the duo were asked whether fans should look to see Pattinson make a cameo as Batman . LeFranc and Reeves made it clear that this show is meant to represent dissimilar nook ofThe Batmanuniverse . They deal the following :
Lauren LeFranc : To me , I reckon it packs a different punch . Matt ’s film are through the lens of the Batman , so you ’re high up , looking down on the city . It ’s a different perspective . With Oz , you ’re in the city streets , you ’re in the grit and the muck and the grime . He ’s look up , wanting to claw his way to the top . So it ’s a unlike experience . I think Gotham is an interesting enough urban center that it merit to have more door unlock within it , and for us to take the air through those and see what we think .
Matt Reeves : I do n’t palpate like it ’s lack something fundamental . I feel like it ’s an extension of what is fundamentally there . We know this is the earthly concern of Batman . You ’re conk out down a different bowling alley . So the spectre of Batman is there . The specter of the Riddler is there . The spectre of everything that happens in the last picture is there . It inform it . And it ’s exactly where we begin .
Will The Penguin Succeed Without Batman?
While time will tell if LeFranc and Reeves are simply being demure about whether Pattinson ’s Batman is actually part ofThe Penguin’simpressive cast , it ’s worth looking into the theme of whether the show even needs the Caped Crusader . It ’s crucial to call up thatThe Penguinwill take place directly afterthe ending ofThe Batman , when Gotham City was flooded by The Riddler ’s terrorist onslaught . At this point , Bruce will be busy helping the city , think from a story circumstance , Batman and Penguin will likely be as far away from each other as possible .
It would have been a different situation ifThe Penguinwas in the scenario that Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe is , where consultation members are regularly carry the wall - red worm to show up . Had the show been calledThe Batman : The Penguin , it would have been more reasonable to want to see Batman show up at least once . However , with this specifically being Oz ’s series , the focus should be on him and the supporting characters around him .
On July 24 , 2024 , it was revealed that anotherspinoff inThe Batmanuniverseis currently in growing .
Looking at otherBatmanproperties as an example , Gothamsucceeded because it was always do up to be a prequel , intend that Batman show up was never a guarantee and was fully dependent on how long the serial run . In the end , The Penguinis about register the linear perspective of other key grapheme in this franchise , which is good , as there are a lot of great histrion in this existence that Reeves can focalise on besides the Dark Knight . But for now , time will say if Pattinson is really not popping up inThe Penguinor if there is perhaps a surprisal in store for viewers .
