The Batman was one of the best movies of 2022, and now its spin-off, The Penguin, is all set to expand that world. Taking place just days after the ending of The Batman, Gotham is still flooded as various factions fight for control of the city. The Penguin will see the return of Colin Farrell as the titular character. This was all that was known about the HBO Max project till now. But now, new details have emerged about the highly anticipated series. Lets check it out:

Working Title Of The Penguin Show And What It Means

The Penguin will be the connecting piece between The Batman and the upcoming HBO Max show, Arkham Asylum, also a spin-off of the movie. Recently, the Illuminerdi announced that The Penguin will have the working title of “Boss”. The working title is interesting because it could hint at Oswald Cobblepot’s aspirations to become Gotham’s king of crime. But it won’t be an easy path.

After all, Carmine Falcone’s daughter, Sofia Falcone (played by Cristin Milloti) will be challenging his reign in a unstable and flooded Gotham. She has just been released after almost 10 years in Arkham Asylum. Illuminerdi reports that it was Cobblepot who put her in the mental asylum.

So she’s definitely coming for revenge as well as to possibly avenge the death of her father and ensure that a Falcone continues ruling over the city. It was also previously reported that she will probably take control of her father’s gang. As such, she and Cobblepot could literally clash in a bid to control Gotham.

Joining Sofia Falcone will be her brother, Alberto Falcone, the new head of the family. Illuminerdi reports that he will be dealing with his own demons that will prevent him from becoming the next Don Falcone. But that’s not all. The site also says that more people will be joining him. They say that:

“Carmine family relative Johnny Viti and the Consigliere Milos Grapa are coming to join Alberto and Sofia in the fight for the soul of Gotham City. These roles have not yet been cast.”

The Illuminerdi has learned that the show will be shooting from January 2023 to August of 2023 in New York City. As such, it should be released in early 2024. A late 2023 release seems possible, but unlikely as post production is bound to take time. However, we should get a trailer for the show by then.

Will Robert Pattinson’s Batman Show Up In The Penguin?

This is the big question on everyone’s mind. After all, with a possible gang war about to break out in Gotham, surely Batman will step in? But we don’t know if the Dark Knight will be showing up in The Penguin.

However, it’s a possibility that can’t be discarded as his appearance might just be currently kept under wraps. Or maybe we will get to see just a silhoutte of the hero, like the headless Superman cameo in DCU’s Shazam.

Do you think Pattinson’s Batman will show up in The Penguin show? Let us know.
