‘The Penguin’ Showrunner Explains Why Robert Pattinson Didn’t Appear As The Batman

Was The Batman asleep during The Penguin? Showrunner Lauren LeFranc reveals why Robert Pattinson didn’t cameo in the award-winning limited series.

Especially given the show escalates to stakes nearing The Batman itself, many fans were taken out of the experience when Gotham’s Dark Knight simply turned a blind eye to the wanton destruction befalling his city. However, it’s nice to get confirmation directly from the showrunner’s mouth that Robert Pattinson’s character isn’t just turning a blind eye.
