‘The Penguin’ Creators On Why Robert Pattinson’s Batman Won’t Appear On HBO Series


Colin Farrell will reprise the villainous role he originated in 2022's The Batman in the new HBO series The Penguin.

“I understand why people’s desire would be to have Batman, or to think that unless Batman’s in a show or a film then it doesn’t have the same punch,” showrunner and writer Lauren LeFranc told SFX magazine. Matt’s films are through the lens of the Batman, so you’re high up, looking down on the city. The Penguin’s showrunner noted that the series is “a different experience,” adding, “I think Gotham is an interesting enough city that it deserves to have more doors unlocked within it, and for us to walk through those and see what we think.”
