Matt Reeves Says Future ‘The Batman’ Spinoffs Will Be Character-Driven Like ‘The Penguin’: “Oz’s story is Oz’s story, and the idea is to do these other stories in the same way”
‘The Penguin’ is a massive hit for HBO. The ‘The Batman’ spinoff currently has an impressive score of 8.8 on IMDb and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% / 91% (critics/audience). The series tells the story of Oz Cobb, a mid-level mobster known as the Penguin, as he rises to become the crime boss of Gotham City.
The show’s executive producer, Matt Reeves, who also created ‘The Batman,’ recently discussed the series, the ‘Batman Epic Crime Saga’ universe, and what’s in store for the future:
Reeves: Oh my god.
Interviewer: Such is life. Wow. Okay.
Reeves: I’m happy to see you, that’s all.
Interviewer: I watched the first two episodes [of The Penguin]. I loved it.
Reeves: You saw the first two. Cool.
Interviewer: I genuinely thought it was a brilliant piece of television. It is so lovely to see a character have the time on screen that that character deserves.
