Dylan Clark, producer of The Batman revealed some details about The Penguin series, one of the spin-offs that will feature the new Dark Knight film
Matt Reves’ Batverse is beginning to be built, since after the premiere of The Batman, the realization of two spin-off series is contemplated, one of them focused on the criminal career of The Penguin, which will focus on the rise of the Knight of Crime in the underworld.

In an interview with SFX Magazine, The Batman producer Dylan Clark spoke about Warner Bros’ spin-off series on Penguin, which will star Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepott.
“We’re doing one with Colin (Farrell), watching Oz rise to power, almost like a Scarface story.“.
The Penguin: History linked to Batman
Clark pointed out that this series will be closely linked to the Matt Reeves production that will hit theaters in March 2022.
“It’s exciting to do something like that alone, but it speaks to the character and our movie, so you’ll go back to the movie and say, ‘Oh, I see that backstory there, that line refers to this”
Colin Farrell will be the second actor to bring the villain to both film and television, the first being Burgess Meredith, who played the role of The Penguin first in the 1965 series and then in the 1966 film.
“It’s exciting to be a part of that universe and there are just certain words that are part of my internal lexicon: Gotham City, Penguin, Joker, Batman, Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent, all these things… His creation, the aesthetic of the character, has been fun and I’m really excited to go back and explore it”.
Farrell joins actors like Burgess Meredith, Danny DeVito and Robin Lord Taylor, who have played the role of Oswald Cobblepott, both on film and on television.
Vengeance will hit the streets of Gotham
Two years of roaming the streets as Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has brought Bruce Wayne into the shadows of Gotham.
With only a handful of allies, Alfred Pennyworth, James Gordon, among the city’s corrupt network of officials, the reclusive vigilante has established himself as the embodiment of revenge among his fellow citizens.
When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic events, a trail of clues sends the world’s greatest detective on an investigation through the criminal underworld.
The Batman will star Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, and John Turturro as crime boss Carmine Falcone.
They will also be Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, while Andy Serkis will be Alfred Pennyworth.
The Batman will hit theaters on March 4, 2022.
