Below, we highlight the releases we are looking forward to the most, including anticipated new series and returning favorites!
This goes without saying, but The Penguin is one of the biggest shows coming out this year. Not only have we been excited about it since the cast was announced, but the series gave us some serious whiplash. For some time, we weren’t too sure the series would see the light of day due to HBO and Max changes, new contracts, and every obstacle you can think of, The Penguin has jumped over.

While the organisation was included in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's marketing campaign, we weren't properly introduced to the Dceu's A.R.G.U.S. until Suicide Squad.
Amanda Waller and The Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans/Advanced Research Group United Support later returned in The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, and Peacemaker. While Waller's continued involvement with the government agency is unclear in the new Dcu after the latter's first season, James Gunn has just dropped a first look at the logo.
Honestly, it's pretty much identical to the one used in the Dceu; that was comic-accurate, though we're still a little surprised Gunn hasn't decided to make any changes. Then again, there will be a weird link between both worlds in the sense that characters and actors from the filmmaker's previous projects are being carried over to this rebooted continuity.

Fans can look forward to ‘The Penguin’ series this year, a spinoff from Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’ movie series, which exists in a separate universe from Gunn and Safran’s Dcu. The show is set to pick up one week after the events of the film, where Falcone’s death leaves a power vacuum that The Penguin, with Sofia Falcone’s help, is eager to fill.
Colin Farrell noted that the series will delve into the character’s complexities—his awkwardness, strength, villainy, and underlying heartbreak—building on his portrayal in the film. He also emphasized that the show will be extremely violent and dark.
Showrunner Lauren LeFranc recently spoke with Total Film, discussing the show’s intricate themes and the development of nuanced female characters within the crime genre.

Colin Farrell damn near stole the show in The Batman, disappearing beneath layers of incredibly convincing prosthetics to play Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin. While we await The Batman Part II, we will be thrust back into the Gotham City underworld with The Penguin, an HBO series centering around the titular character. The Penguin will find Oswald taking advantage of the power vacuum created by the death of Carmine Falcone, with showrunner and executive producer Lauren LeFranc telling Empire that the series will be a Scarface story set in the world of The Batman.
“Matt [Reeves came up] with this Scarface story – a rise to power,” Lafranc explained. “I turned it into a psychological character study of this man. Mobsters historically are larger than life, so there is that slightly elevated quality to it, but he’s just a man. A very complicated man.“

Colin Farrell is starring in the HBO Original series The Penguin based on the DC Comics character. and the showrunner is comparing it to Scarface.
Lauren LeFranc said in a recent interview that the spinoff from Matt Reeves’s The Batman focused on the villain Oswald Cobblepot is similar to the 1983 crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma.
“Matt [Reeves came up] with this Scarface story – a rise to power,” LeFranc told Empire. “I turned it into a psychological character study of this man.”

First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the parasol.
Following an explosive San Diego Comic-Con trailer, Empire has shared a new look at Collin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot (or "Oz Cobb"), as he sets his sights on taking over Gotham as the city's new crime boss in HBO's The Batman spin-off series, The Penguin.
Picking up shortly after Carmine Falcone's death towards the end of Matt Reeves' movie, the limited series will find Oz attempting to establish himself as the notorious gangster's successor - but he runs into an unforeseen roadblock in the form of the possibly even more ruthless and unhinged Sofia Falcone.

Whilst last night in many ways represented Marvel Studios' moment in the spotlight at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, earlier in the evening comic franchise fans were also treated to a panel for Matt Reeves and Craig Zobel's hotly anticipated HBO Original The Batman spin-off series The Penguin. And during the event, star Colin Farrell beamed into Hall H via Zoom to introduce a brand new trailer for his upcoming crime series, set a week after Paul Dano's Riddler flooded Gotham at the end of The Batman. Check it out below:
As you'll recall, a power vacuum opened up in Gotham following the death of mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) in Reeves' 2022 take on the Caped Crusader, and as crime (and a lot of water) continues to flood the streets of the city in The Penguin, Farrell's Oz Cobb clearly has his eyes set on taking over.

As we write this, The Penguin's San Diego Comic-Con panel is still in full swing. HBO and Max have wasted no time in sharing the trailer first shown to Hall H attendees, though, and you can see what's to come when war erupts in Gotham City in the player below.
Following the events of The Batman (which saw The Riddler murder Carmine Falcone), there's a void which needs to be filled and Colin Farrell's Oz seems to believe he's the man to do it.
However, as he makes a play on becoming Gotham's new Kingpin of Crime, he finds an unexpected foe in one Sofia Falcone. Filmmaker Matt Reeves told fans at Comic-Con that the original idea for The Batman II was to pick up with Oz taking over the underworld, only for the idea to evolve into this TV series.

While Matt Reeves made many good casting choices in his superhero film “The Batman,” the best of them might actually go to his version of The Penguin. Buried under a ton of prosthetics, looking absolutely unrecognizable, Colin Farrell brings to life one of Batman’s greatest villains. And now he’s getting his own show.
As revealed during today’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, we have our first look at a full trailer for the upcoming Max drama series, “The Penguin.” The trailer lays out the plot of the series, which finds Oz Cobb (Farrell) as he attempts to pick up the pieces of the Gotham underworld after the events of “The Batman.”

Comic-Con turned into Gotham City for DC’s “The Penguin” panel at Hall H.
Star Colin Farrell couldn’t attend the panel in person, but he joined via Zoom for a panel on the “Batman” spinoff series. He was joined by director Matt Reeves, co-stars Cristin Milioti and Rhenzy Feliz, makeup designer Mike Marino and executive producer Dylan Clark.
The new trailer shows Farrell’s Penguin shooting and stabbing his way to power in the crime-filled streets of Gotham. He’s seen firing uzis at cars and controlling the flow of drugs in his Iceberg Lounge club. Sofia Falcone (Milioti), the daughter of late crime boss Carmine Falcone, is out of Arkham Asylum and ready to take on Penguin for control of Gotham.
“The world ain’t set up for the honest man to succeed,” he says in the trailer. “America is a hustle.”

Few TV leads can say they endured more to get into character than Colin Farrell, the handsome leading man who endured 3 1/2 hours of makeup every day to transform into the unrecognizable Oz Cobb for The Penguin.
Now the fruit of all those hours sitting in the makeup chair is about to bloom, with the show getting the closeup at San Diego Comic-Con during a prime Saturday spot. HBO used the event to launch a new trailer for the show, which bows Sept. 19 on HBO and Max and received huge applause after it played to the Comic-Con crowd. The series was initially set to be a Max original but moved under the HBO umbrella — meaning it will both run on the cable channel and stream on Max — as part of a branding and strategy shift.

With quite a bit of time to go before The Batman 2 hits theaters, Matt Reeves and Lauren LeFranc want to keep audiences invested in the world that debuted in the 2022 superhero pic.
To that end, LeFranc revealed to Entertainment Weekly that there's another television spin-off currently in development.
"There’s another television exploration we’re going to do,” producer Dylan Clark stated. “We’re looking at this entire world as it relates to who Batman is — the antagonists around them, all the crime that has to be navigated in the city — and trying to figure out where are the areas that are best to explore.”
This news comes after a Gotham police department procedural morphed into what became The Penguin, and a planned Arkham Asylum spin-off was ultimately canned.

If you wanted final confirmation that Matt Reeves' The Batman would be existing outside of James Gunn's DC Universe (Dcu), you finally have it.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reeves revealed that he and his producing partner Dylan Clark refer to their Batman universe as the 'Batman Epic Crime Saga.'
The universe began with Robert Pattinson's 2022, underrated superhero origin tale and will continue with HBO's The Penguin, which will hit HBO in September.
Reeves was also developing an Arkham television spin-off that surprisingly was revealed to be set within Gunn's Dcu before the project was ultimately canceled.
"As we were writing the movie [The Batman], I was like, 'Hey, you know what? I think there are some cool shows that we could do," Reeves told EW. "It was actually why I wanted to make our deal at Warner Bros."

Two more Max original series are switching to HBO. The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy, which will both air later this year, will now air on HBO and be released on Max. This news comes only a month after it was announced that Lanterns, Harry Potter, and Welcome to Derry will also be HBO originals when they premiere in 2025.
The Penguin stars Colin Farrell as the villainous Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from The Batman feature film, which is set to arrive sometime in September. The fantasy crime drama series also stars Cristin Milioti, Rhenzy Feliz, Theo Rossi, Michael Kelly, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Deirdre O’Connell, Clancy Brown, and Michael Zegen.

Batman is one of those superheroes that you can never get bored with, and even if you are not getting the main character himself, his villains and allies are also very entertaining to watch. That’s why in this article, we will discuss all of the upcoming Batman projects, including the upcoming Joker sequel and Matt Reeves‘ The Batman spin-off series The Penguin. We have divided all the titles into two parts: live-action and animated. While most of the fans are only privy to the live-action Batman films, the hardcore fans have been seeing much more of the Dark Knight in DC’s animated universe. So, check out all of the upcoming Batman movies and TV shows below.

Last month, we learned that the Harry Potter reboot, It prequel Welcome to Derry, and DC Studios' Lanterns were all making the move from Max to HBO. This apparent shift away from streaming shocked many, but two upcoming titles weren't mentioned.
Those were The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy, both of which are now also heading to HBO.
Due to contractual issues stemming from each series being sold to international outlets as Max Originals, it was seemingly too late to change things. Somehow, HBO and Max CEO Casey Bloys has made it work!
While The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy will still stream on Max, they're now being branded as HBO Originals and will premiere on the cable network in the same way as House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.
As Variety explains, Bloys watched early cuts of The Penguin and decided pretty quickly that it would be a better fit for HBO.

While the dramatic movements of projects at Warner Bros. seemed to have calmed down and despite some big decisions being made on gambles like Kevin Costner’s Horizon series, the studio is still working on some re-arrangement of their properties. It was reported earlier that upcoming series that were meant to be exclusive to the Max streaming app are now becoming HBO originals. Previously, all shows that were based on Warner Bros. IP fell under the Max umbrella, which felt like the most obvious way to separate the label from HBO. “We felt like we had to delineate between an HBO show and a Max show,” HBO and Max content CEO Casey Bloys said. “The idea of using Warner Bros. IP as a delineation for Max felt right. At least that gives you a clear lane. But as we started producing those shows, we were using the same methods, the same kind of thinking,...

Last month, Warner Bros. Discovery shifted three of its highest profile Max Originals – Harry Potter, Lanterns and It prequel Welcome To Derry – to become HBO Originals.
The company is now continuing this shift with the move of The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy.
Both shows will now premiere on HBO as well as launching on its Max streaming service.
It is part of a strategy to rebrand its highest profile titles into HBO Originals, giving them a linear airing on the premium cable network as well as a streaming bow.
When the move was originally unveiled in June, the company said it was not sure whether The Penguin, which is set to premiere in September, and Dune: Prophecy would fall under the new branding but this has now been cleared up.

DC Studios and Max have confirmed that The Penguin will premiere on the streaming platform this September and we finally have what may be a specific date for the show's debut.
Buried in a recent Prime Video press release for the Batman: Caped Crusader trailer launch (watch it here if you missed it) is the news that, "On the TV side, [6th & Idaho] produced the Batman spinoff series, The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell."
"The eight-episode limited series continues The Batman epic crime saga created by Reeves and will be released by Max on September 19."
Over the weekend, you might have noticed September 8 being mentioned as The Penguin's likely premiere date. While Max has yet to confirm this September 19 release, September 8 was pulled from a recent piece by The Hollywood Reporter and the trade quickly removed it upon realising it was incorrect.

The Penguin, the upcoming Max spin-off focusing on Colin Farrell's take on classic DC Comics villain Oswald Cobblepot, is set to take place very soon after the events of Matt Reeves' The Batman, focusing on "Oz" as he attempts to establish himself as Gotham City's new crime boss.
When the series was first announced, we were told that an appearance from Batman himself was unlikely, but previous rumors have indicated that Robert Pattinson could show up as Bruce Wayne
On the latest episode of The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider claimed that Pattinson will indeed appear - as Batman! We have no idea how substantial a role The Dark Knight will play, but wouldn't be surprised if he only featured in a single episode. Still, fans will no doubt be pleased to hear that the Caped Crusader will play even a small part in this series, and getting Pattinson involved...

After announcing his plans for the DC Studios as Co-CEO, James Gunn has been incredibly busy exacting his vision of DC’s marvellous world from the comics. While some fans are still on the fence about some of the decisions made by Gunn and David Zaslav (Warner Bros. Discovery CEO), most of the audience is eager to watch the new Dceu with Gunn as its Kevin Feige. 2024 will be the beginning of Gunn’s Dceu as the first project from his upcoming DC universe will come out this year, but while it is a beginning of sorts, the real kick-off point will be the Superman: Legacy film coming out next year, which Gunn wrote and directed himself. In this article we are talking about every DC project coming out in 2024 under Gunn as the Co-CEO of DC Studios.

No one living in Gotham City has ever known peace. In the latest teaser trailer for The Penguin, the eight-episode series premiering on Max in September, Colin Farrell’s Oswald “Oz” Cobb is hellbent on making sure they never will.
“I’m gonna tear down the empire from the inside out,” Oz promises in the clip, which picks up where 2022’s The Batman left off with the assassination of Carmine Falcone. The second teaser for the series also introduces Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone, the crime boss’ daughter who inherited his penchant for revenge.

Numerous DC-based projects are currently in the works, with much attention focused on Gunn’s Dcu and his upcoming ‘Creature Commandos’ & ‘Superman’. However, it’s worth remembering that Elseworlds, which encompasses ‘The Batman’ film series and other upcoming projects, is forging its own path. Stepping into the spotlight next is ‘The Penguin’ live-action series.
‘The Penguin’ is slated to be a spinoff of ‘The Batman’ film series, set in an alternate universe distinct from the Dcu. With its release drawing nearer by the day, let’s delve into everything we know about the show.
The series will connect to the events of ‘The Batman’
While ‘The Penguin’ and ‘The Batman’ may not belong to the mainline Dcu, they do inhabit a shared cinematic universe. The forthcoming series is set to unfold just a week after the events depicted in the aforementioned movie. With Falcone’s demise and The Penguin striving...

There are plenty of DC-based projects currently in development, and while all eyes are on Gunn’s Dcu and his upcoming ‘Creature Commandos’ & ‘Superman’ we occasionally forget that Elseworlds, which ‘The Batman’ film series and several other upcoming projects are a part of, are doing their own thing. The next big thing is ‘The Penguin’ live-action series.
‘The Penguin’ is set to be a spinoff of ‘The Batman’ film series, set in the alternative universe, distinctive from the Dcu, and due to the release getting closer every day, we decided to summarize everything we know about the show.
The show takes place a week after the events of ‘The Batman’
Despite ‘The Penguin’ and ‘The Batman’ not being a part of the mainline Dcu, they do have a shared cinematic universe. The upcoming show will take place a week after the events of the aforementioned movie. Following the events of the movie,...

Max has just released the second teaser trailer and a new poster for The Penguin. The series will premiere on the streaming platform this September, and this latest sneak peek offers us a better idea of what to expect.
Starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb (a.k.a. The Penguin), the eight-episode DC Studios limited series - yes, that's how it's being branded in the press release - continues filmmaker Matt Reeves' The Batman epic crime saga that began with the 2022 movie. Developed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc, the series centres on the character played by Farrell in the film.
With Gotham City left in ruins by The Riddler's attack, Oz sees his chance to take charge of the late Carmine Falcone's criminal empire. Sal Maroni seems fine with that, though Sofia Falcone is making her own power play and unwilling to let her father's former lackey take over.

"I refuse to let these old men push me aside again. So I'm gonna take from them now, and I'm gonna force them to their knees." Max has revealed an impressive second teaser trailer for the upcoming spin-off series The Penguin, confirmed for a September launch later this year. This is going to kick ass. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot (aka The Penguin) from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie (2022). Oscar nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first few episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel who seems like a perfect choice for this. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo,...

Max has released a new look at its upcoming DC crime drama The Penguin that gives a much more expansive look at the show’s world and characters.
Below is the second teaser trailer for the upcoming Max limited series — a spinoff of Matt Reeves’ 2022 hit The Batman starring Colin Farrell as the infamous Gotham City gangster. The footage includes scenes clearly picking up right after the events at the end of The Batman.
In the movie, The Penguin was a lieutenant to crime boss Carmine Falcone, who met an untimely end. In the series, The Penguin is stepping up to lead crime in Gotham City in a series. The footage suggests the show could play like a DC take on The Sopranos. Lauren LeFranc (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) serves as showrunner.

The Batman was released to glowing reviews in 2022 and, while it could have easily been a standalone movie similar to Joker, Warner Bros. wasted no time in enlisting filmmaker Matt Reeves for a sequel.
Rumours of a second and third movie shooting back have proven false, but The Penguin is still on track to be released later this year. The Max series will bridge the gap between The Batman and The Batman II, chronicling Ozwald Cobblepot's rise to Gotham City Kingpin.
While we've previously been told that The Penguin will launch on the streamer this "fall," the official premiere month has just been shared by Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max content.

When Colin Farrell was cast as Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, many fans were skeptical as they did not know what to expect from the interpretation. Farrell definitely did not look the part, but the costume design crew did an amazing job and Farrell delivered a brilliant villain who was so good that HBO ordered a standalone spin-off series focusing on The Penguin. The series, which will be titled The Penguin, is set to be released later this year and we have just today received some interesting casting rumors!
Namely, we know that Farrell is reprising his role and that the series will focus on Penguin taking over Gotham’s criminal underworld after the death of Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro in the film) at the hands of the Riddler.

Last week, Max finally released the trailer for their much-anticipated The Batman spin-off series, The Penguin, teeing up its fall release date. Overall, it looks highly reminiscent of Matt Reeves’ film, with the cinematography very much in the Grieg Fraser mode. But what else do we know about The Penguin? More than you may think.
The Penguin is set after The Batman.
The plot of The Penguin is set to follow the title character, once again portrayed by Colin Farrell, as he rises through the ranks of the Gotham City criminal underworld. After the events of The Batman and the flooding of Gotham, including the death of Carmine Falcone, Cobblepot desperately wants to fill the power vacuum. Colin Farrell has also indicated that the film will serve as an origin story for the Penguin, something we have seen twice on screen before in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns, played by Danny DeVito.

Wak! Wak! Fans who wanted Matt Reeves’ The Batman to lean into the violence of Gotham City could be in for a treat when The Penguin arrives on Max. The spinoff series, starring Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot, could find the classic villain breaking more than bones as he continues to waddle toward the top of Gotham’s criminal food chain. Speaking with MovieZine, Farrell said The Penguin is gnarlier than Reeves’ PG-13 Batman film and should be considered “incredibly violent.”
“It was a long and really wonderful experience,” Farrell said about filming The Penguin series. “It’s dark; that’s what I can tell you about it. It’s really dark. It’s really heavy, I think— it certainly was doing it. Which is not to say I didn’t have fun, I had an amazing time doing it. It’s incredibly violent. It’s one man’s rise...

The Penguin trailer offers a glimpse into the forthcoming installment of The Batman saga ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
The latest trailer for The Penguin sees Colin Farrell reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot, alias Penguin. The trailer delves into the DC villain’s contemplation of the posthumous recognition bestowed upon a local gangster by the community during his upbringing, prompting Cobblepot to ponder the significance of such acknowledgement. “Can you imagine being remembered like that?” Cobblepot queries an off-screen character. The trailer doesn’t spill much about the story, but it does give us quick peeks at Cristin Milioti playing Sofia Falcone and Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni.
Announced in September 2021, “The Penguin” continues the saga of Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot shortly after the events depicted in “The Batman 2023,” as he manoeuvres to assert his authority within Gotham’s criminal hierarchy. The production of the eight-episode limited series commenced in...

"Can you imagine to be remembered like that?" Max has unveiled the first real teaser trailer for the spin-off series The Penguin, set to debut in the fall this year. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie. Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel who seems like a perfect choice for this. We featured an early production teaser last year. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Deirdre O'Connell, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Theo Rossi, Carmen Ejogo, and François Chau. Ohhhhhhh this looks So damn good.
