Fans can look forward to ‘The Penguin’ series this year, a spinoff from Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ movie series, which exists in a separate universe from Gunn and Safran’s Dcu. The show is set to pick up one week after the events of the film, where Falcone’s death leaves a power vacuum that The Penguin, with Sofia Falcone’s help, is eager to fill.

Colin Farrell noted that the series will delve into the character’s complexities—his awkwardness, strength, villainy, and underlying heartbreak—building on his portrayal in the film. He also emphasized that the show will be extremely violent and dark.

Showrunner Lauren LeFranc recently spoke with Total Film, discussing the show’s intricate themes and the development of nuanced female characters within the crime genre.

Very few women have been able to write these kinds of movies or television shows.

The series is a spinoff of Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ movie series, which takes place in a separate universe, unconnected to Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu. The upcoming show will take place a week after the events of the aforementioned movie. Following the events of the movie, Falcone is dead and The Penguin is desperately trying to fill the power vacuum left behind with the help of Sofia Falcone.

Farrell indicated that the series would explore the character’s complexities, including his awkwardness, strength, villainous aspects, and underlying heartbreak, building upon his cinematic portrayal. He also mentioned that the show will be extremely violent and dark.

With quite a bit of time to go before The Batman 2 hits theaters, Matt Reeves and Lauren LeFranc want to keep audiences invested in the world that debuted in the 2022 superhero pic.

To that end, LeFranc revealed to Entertainment Weekly that there's another television spin-off currently in development.

"There’s another television exploration we’re going to do,” producer Dylan Clark stated. “We’re looking at this entire world as it relates to who Batman is — the antagonists around them, all the crime that has to be navigated in the city — and trying to figure out where are the areas that are best to explore.”

This news comes after a Gotham police department procedural morphed into what became The Penguin, and a planned Arkham Asylum spin-off was ultimately canned.

On the latter, Reeves and LeFranc revealed that HBO execs want them to lean more heavily on Batman's marquee characters,...

If you wanted final confirmation that Matt Reeves' The Batman would be existing outside of James Gunn's DC Universe (Dcu), you finally have it.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reeves revealed that he and his producing partner Dylan Clark refer to their Batman universe as the 'Batman Epic Crime Saga.'

The universe began with Robert Pattinson's 2022, underrated superhero origin tale and will continue with HBO's The Penguin, which will hit HBO in September.

Reeves was also developing an Arkham television spin-off that surprisingly was revealed to be set within Gunn's Dcu before the project was ultimately canceled.

"As we were writing the movie [The Batman], I was like, 'Hey, you know what? I think there are some cool shows that we could do," Reeves told EW. "It was actually why I wanted to make our deal at Warner Bros."

According to Reeves, HBO execs told...

When Variety broke the news last month that HBO and Max content CEO Casey Bloys had changed the delineation between what an “HBO show” and a “Max show” is, there was an asterisk attached. Max’s big-budget, tentpole Warner Bros. IP projects like the “Harry Potter” TV show, the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry” and the Green Lantern adaptation “Lanterns” — were moving to under the HBO umbrella, but those coming before 2025 would not.

Here was the rub, much to Bloys’ chagrin: The two shows premiering this fall that had inspired Bloys to change his tune, “The Penguin” and “Dune: Prophecy,” couldn’t contractually make the switch. The shows had already been sold to international outlets as Max Originals, and those kinds of complicated deals are hard to unwind and revise.

“ ‘The Penguin’ would be an obvious fit as an HBO Original. Unfortunately, the process of licensing it internationally has already started,...

This article contains spoilers for the Lost finale and the epilogue “The New Man In Charge.”

Perhaps you may have heard, but the Lost finale was a touch controversial. As one of the biggest network TV dramas of all time and one of pop culture’s great “mystery box” stories, this ABC series had a lot of questions to answer in its final season.

Some would argue that Lost did a mostly fine job of resolving its many mysteries. In fact, that’s the official position taken here at Den of Geek. Many others, however, have found the finale’s focus on emotional catharsis over logical resolutions to be unsatisfying. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, something that the latter crowd sometimes misses in their interpretation of the Lost finale is that “The End” isn’t really the end. That’s right: there’s an epilogue to the Lost...

Max Releases New “The Penguin” Teaser

The Penguin has returned to Gotham for more upstanding mayor stuff. Max has released a new teaser for its upcoming DC Studios limited series “The Penguin,” starring Colin Farrell.

Developed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc and based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, the eight-episode series is a spin-off from Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” and explores Oz Cobb, a.k.a. The Penguin’s rise to power in Gotham City’s criminal underworld.

Watch the new teaser for “The Penguin” below:

In addition to Farrell, “The Penguin” will also star Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Clancy Brown, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Michael Zegen, Carmen Ejogo, Theo Rossi, François Chau, David H. Holmes, Craig Walker, Mark Strong, and more.

“The Penguin” will debut exclusively on Max in September with the exact premiere date to be announced...

"I refuse to let these old men push me aside again. So I'm gonna take from them now, and I'm gonna force them to their knees." Max has revealed an impressive second teaser trailer for the upcoming spin-off series The Penguin, confirmed for a September launch later this year. This is going to kick ass. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot (aka The Penguin) from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie (2022). Oscar nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first few episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel who seems like a perfect choice for this. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo,...

Send out the Bat Signal, because Oz Cobb is terrorizing Gotham City once again.

Warner Bros. Discovery has released a new trailer for “The Penguin,” the spinoff series focusing on Colin Farrell’s titular gangster from DC’s “The Batman.”

Set immediately after the events of the 2022 blockbuster film, the eight-episode series charts the character once known as Oswald Cobblepot and his rise to power in the Gotham underworld to become one of the most notorious villains in the “Batman” universe.

Joining Farrell are Cristin Milioti as Carmine Falcone’s daughter Sofia, Michael Zegen as Carmine’s son Alberto and Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, one of Gotham’s former top gangsters. Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau and David H. Holmes round out the cast.

Lauren LeFranc (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner on “The Penguin,” while “The Batman...

When Colin Farrell was cast as Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, many fans were skeptical as they did not know what to expect from the interpretation. Farrell definitely did not look the part, but the costume design crew did an amazing job and Farrell delivered a brilliant villain who was so good that HBO ordered a standalone spin-off series focusing on The Penguin. The series, which will be titled The Penguin, is set to be released later this year and we have just today received some interesting casting rumors!

Namely, we know that Farrell is reprising his role and that the series will focus on Penguin taking over Gotham’s criminal underworld after the death of Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro in the film) at the hands of the Riddler.

The series will obviously focus on Penguin’s clash with what remains of the Falcone family,...

The Penguin trailer offers a glimpse into the forthcoming installment of The Batman saga ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

The latest trailer for The Penguin sees Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot, alias Penguin. The trailer delves into the DC villain’s contemplation of the posthumous recognition bestowed upon a local gangster by the community during his upbringing, prompting Cobblepot to ponder the significance of such acknowledgement. “Can you imagine being remembered like that?” Cobblepot queries an off-screen character. The trailer doesn’t spill much about the story, but it does give us quick peeks at Cristin Milioti playing Sofia Falcone and Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni.

Announced in September 2021, “The Penguin” continues the saga of Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot shortly after the events depicted in “The Batman 2023,” as he manoeuvres to assert his authority within Gotham’s criminal hierarchy. The production of the eight-episode limited series commenced in...

"Can you imagine to be remembered like that?" Max has unveiled the first real teaser trailer for the spin-off series The Penguin, set to debut in the fall this year. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie. Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel who seems like a perfect choice for this. We featured an early production teaser last year. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Deirdre O'Connell, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Theo Rossi, Carmen Ejogo, and François Chau. Ohhhhhhh this looks So damn good.

The bat is nowhere to be seen in the latest trailer for “The Penguin,” but that doesn’t mean that Gotham City crime is running rampant…yet.

Max’s “Batman” spinoff “The Penguin” is produced by “The Batman” writer/director Matt Reeves, with Dylan Clark executive producing. Colin Farrell reprises his role of corrupt nightclub owner Oz Cobb from Reeves’ 2022 feature starring Robert Pattinson as the titular superhero.

Following the events of the film which saw most of Oswald’s gang members either killed or incarcerated, Oswald is climbing the ranks in underground organized crime. The cast is rounded out by Cristin Milioti, who portrays Sofia, daughter of John Turturro’s mafia boss Carmine Falcone, and Theo Rossi, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Carmen Ejogo, François Chau, and David H. Holmes. Clancy Brown is believed to be playing Gotham City mafia head Sal Maroni, who was formerly...

Colin Farrell returns to Gotham City as Oz Cobb, aka Oswald Cobblepot, in the trailer for “The Penguin,” a spinoff series of “The Batman” coming this fall to Max.

“The Penguin” takes place immediately following the events of DC’s 2022 blockbuster, tracing Cobblepot’s rise to power in the Gotham underworld as he becomes one of the most prominent villains in the “Batman” universe. Farrell gives a classic gangster monologue throughout the trailer, which slowly ramps up the violence and gunfights in Gotham City’s seedy underground.

“When I was a kid, there was a gangster, real old-school type. Rex Calabrese. He was a big deal. He helped people. He saw you on the street, he’d call out to you,” Cobblepot narrates in the trailer. “When I was 14 or something, he has a heart attack and dies, still holding a cigar. In my neighborhood, they throw a parade in his honor.

Sneak Peek more new footage from director Cathy Yan's 2-fisted, R-rated, $85 million budgeted "Birds of Prey" feature, based on the psycho DC Comics character 'Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, available May 12, 2020 on DVD and Blu-ray:

Notwithstanding actress Robbie's bubbly personality, babydoll beauty and recent Oscar-nominated turn in the anti-Fox News box office loser "Bombshell", "Birds of Prey" was also a box office disappointment, released just before the pandemic, as fanboys seemed to prefer their super females as 'companions' rather than 'competitors' in the brains and brawn department. 

"...since the events of 'Suicide Squad', 'Batman' has disappeared, leaving 'Gotham City' unprotected from crime...

"...while 'Harley Quinn' has left the 'Joker'. Then when young 'Cassandra Cain comes across a diamond belonging to crime lord 'Black Mask'...

"...Harley joins forces with 'Black Canary', 'Huntress'...

"....and 'Renee Montoya' to help protect her..."

Sneak Peek the first 10 minutes, plus more new footage from director Cathy Yan's 2-fisted, R-rated, $85 million budgeted "Birds of Prey" feature, based on the psycho DC Comics character 'Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, available on DVD and Blu-ray:

Notwithstanding actress Robbie's bubbly personality, babydoll beauty and recent Oscar-nominated turn in the anti-Fox News box office loser "Bombshell", it seems fanboys still prefer their super-powered females as 'companions' rather than 'competitors' in the brains and brawn department. 

"...since the events of 'Suicide Squad', 'Batman' has disappeared, leaving 'Gotham City' unprotected from crime...

"...while 'Harley Quinn' has left the 'Joker'. Then when young 'Cassandra Cain comes across a diamond belonging to crime lord 'Black Mask'...

The awards season ended with a bang as Hollywood celebrated Lulu Wang’s The Farewell winning Best Feature and Zhao Shuzhen nabbing Best Supporting Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards while Bong Joon-ho’s peachy dark comedy masterpiece about social class made history at the Academy Awards, becoming the first non-English speaking film to win Best Picture. The South Korean film also made strides, winning Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film. The huge wins for The Farewell and Parasite were benchmarks for Asians and Asian Americans, but just a week prior, Birds of Prey was released in theaters. On the surface, the Warner Bros. pic may seem like an action-packed, candy-coated mind trip of comic book movie, but the movie is a nuanced touchstone of Asian American representation — and even though it focuses on Harley Quinn’s narrative, the story would be nothing without Cassandra Cain,...

Ranked as the lowest opening weekend gross for any 'DC Extended Universe' film, director Cathy Yan's R-rated, $85 million budgeted "Birds of Prey" feature, based on the DC Comics characters, earned $33 million domestic and $46 million international for a worldwide total of $79 million, prompting Warners to retitle the film as "Harley Quinn: Birds Of Prey", banking on the star power of actress Margot Robbie:

Notwithstanding Robbie's bubbly personality, obvious beauty and recent Oscar-nominated turn in the anti-Fox News box office loser "Bombshell", it seems fanboys prefer their super-powered females as 'companions' rather than 'competitors' in the brains and brawn department.
