HBO Max has a gold mine in his hands in terms of licenses for his original productions, and he does not intend to deprive himself of it. Its originality will perhaps be his series derived from recent filmsas he did with the Peacemaker spin-off taken from The Suicide Squad. He will repeat the experiment with The Penguina mini-series related to The Batmanwhich is currently a hit in the cinema.

Matt Reeves’ dark film offers a new vision of Gotham City, with an original cast and numerous narrative possibilities. The character of Penguin (Colin Farrell), right-hand man of Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), plays a central role, but largely expandable, which will therefore be at the heart of this project with an as yet unknown number of episodes. However, we will certainly have the opportunity to return to Iceberg Loungethe thug’s club actually named Oswald Cobblepotas well as to learn more about his schemes and the mobsters of the city: according to the words of Colin Farrel, it could also be a origin story about the villain’s past. Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell and Lauren LeFranc will serve as producers, but the showrunners and screenwriters have not yet been named, as well as the main actors of course.
“The world Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that deserves a deeper look through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot,” Farrell said in a statement. “I couldn’t be more excited to continue this exploration of Oz as he rises through the dark ranks to become the Penguin. It will be nice to bring it back to the streets of Gotham for a bit of madness and a bit of mayhem. »
Matt Reeves added, “Colin exploded off-screen as the Penguin in The Batman, and having the chance to explore this character’s inner life in depth on HBO Max is an absolute thrill. »
“I’ve been a fan of The Batman world for a long time, and Matt’s film is such a powerful and bold entry into the saga,” said Lauren LeFranc. “I am excited and honored to continue telling stories in the grimy world of Gotham City – and what better excuse to channel my inner villain than to tell the story of Oswald Cobblepot? »
For the release date, the distribution in France and the additional information, it will be necessary to iron. Note that this is not the only series project derived from The Batman : Warner Bros. is also considering a soap opera on Arkham Asylumwhich basically had to be rather centered on the Gotham City Police Departmentbut nothing has been decided at this time.
