The Batman spinoff The Penguin not containing the Dark Knight actually looks to be a good thing for both the DC show and the larger franchise. The positive reception for The Batman has blossomed into not one but two successors, with The Batman - Part II movie coming out in 2026, and TV spinoff The Penguin releasing throughout the later part of 2024.
It also appears Batman hasn't been left out of the series for a lack of trying, but rather because there wasn't a way to naturally include the character into the overarching narrative of The Penguin. Reeves mentioned efforts were gone to in order to try and place Batman in the show, and that"we toyed with it, we tried to find the moment, but we could never quite find the moment that didn't step on what was important, which was telling their stories".
The story of Oz's rise in Gotham's underworld and the complicated relationships he has with those around him during this time is one that works on its own, and bringing Batman back without clear plot intentions would waste the intrigue audiences have about his personal arc following The Batman's ending.
