Reports have been circulating that Robert Pattinson’s Batman will not be able to appear in The Penguin TV series due to rights issues. This has caused some concern among fans, but James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has put these rumors to rest.
Expanding The Gotham City Universe
After the success of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, a sequel is set to arrive in 2025 along with two spin-off TV series – The Penguin and an untitled Arkham series. This is creating a whole universe around Pattinson’s Dark Knight, allowing characters to move freely between various projects.
The Batman TV Report
A tweet from The Art of The Batman Twitter account suggested that Robert Pattinson might not appear as Batman in The Penguin due to legal issues surrounding TV rights. However, James Gunn quickly dismissed this rumor, stating that “this is not true.”
The Role Of Batman In The Penguin
Given that The Penguin series follows The Batman, it is highly likely that Pattinson’s Batman will make an appearance in the show. Colin Farrell’s character, Oz, will be taking over the criminal empire, so it makes sense that Batman will be keeping a watchful eye on him.
While it may be unlikely for Batman to play a key role in The Penguin, fans can expect to see him at some point in the series. Gunn’s denial of the rumor should put fans’ minds at ease and allow them to look forward to the upcoming expansion of the Gotham City universe.
