The masked vigilante Batman (Robert Pattinson) investigates a crime scene in emThe Batman/em.
Tonight’s the night that DC fans have been waiting for for over two years as Max celebrates the arrival of The Penguin. The eight-episode series will pick up following the events of Matt Reeves’s The Batman and follows Oz Cobb’s grasp for control of Gotham. While we’ve long known that this would be a big one for the network, the impressive number of countries in which The Batman finds itself among the Top 10 on various streamers foreshadows some off-the-charts viewership numbers.
Hitting a critics’ approval and Certified Fresh rating of 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, folks around the globe were captivated by Reeves’s dark take on one of history’s most beloved superheroes. Arriving in cinemas in 2022, the movie centered on Bruce Wayne aka Batman’s struggle to uphold justice and peace in the overly corrupted city of Gotham.
The movie also introduced a handful of other familiar faces from the comic books, with Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Solson, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and, of course, Farrell as Oz Cobb aka Penguin. Grossing more than $772 million at the global box office, it was clear that Reeves’s unique take and neo-noir vibes really struck a chord with audiences, driving Warner Bros.
What Will ‘The Penguin’ Be About? Close Now that Carmine Falcone is no longer the top dog of Gotham’s criminal empire, there’s space for a new boss to take control. That’s precisely where The Penguin will pick up as Oz sees an opening for power and throws himself at it. But he’s not the only one out for control, as Carmine’s psychopathic daughter, Sofia Falcone , has just been released from Arkham Asylum and is prepared to do anything to keep the Falcone family on top.
