Before The Batman 2 with Robert Pattinson hits cinemas, we find out how the story of villain Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot continues. Here’s the first teaser for DC series The Penguin.
The Batman has established a new DC universe. Not only is a sequel to the DC hit starring Robert Pattinson currently in the works. At least one series also awaits us from the gloomy Gotham that we first saw on the big screen last year. It’s called The Penguin.
The Penguin is being developed exclusively for the streaming service Max (formerly HBO Max). Colin Farrell returns as Oswald “Oz” Cobblepot after his appearance in The Batman and seizes control of Gotham. What that looks like is revealed in the first teaser released to mark the recent start of production.

The story of The Penguin is set to take place a week after the events of The Batman. Farrell’s villain seizes control of Gotham’s underworld and makes new enemies in the process. These include Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), the daughter of crime boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro).

It can be assumed that the plot told in the series is relevant to The Batman 2, which will be released in German cinemas in October 2025. Season 1 comprises a total of eight episodes. The opener is directed by Craig Zobel, who was already involved in the outstanding HBO series Mare of Easttown.
