The star power of Batman is rising. The new iteration of the Penguin from The Batman will be the focus of a Warner Bros. show. At the time, it was unclear if Colin Farrell would reprise his role in the series. We know that he will.
Variety broke the news of the unsurprising but welcome casting which will keep the continuity in check. It is not clear if the show is set before or after the film, but it will be about the rise of the Penguin. We don't know where Oswald Cobblepot is in the movie. Is he the Penguin? Has the full transition happened yet? The new trailer shows that he comes face to face with Batman in a fiery car chase, but where that is in his journey versus the show is not yet known.
The Batman director Matt Reeves and producer Dylan Clark will executive produce the script that Lauren LeFranc is attached to write. They are also producing a series about the police department in the city ofGotham. It is clear that the film is not only Year One in the career of the Caped Crusader, but Chapter One in a whole new Bat-Universe for Warner Bros. and DC.
Farrell will play a villain in The Batman. He is a co-star with Zo Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone. Robert Pattinson is Batman.
