Current Events > Penguin [Collin Farrell] show coming to HBOMax [Spoilers?]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Following the impressive opening of The Batman, its first spinoff series The Penguin is officially a go at HBO Max. HBO Max announced on Wednesday that that have given a straight-to-series order to the limited series, which stars Collin Farrell in his role from the film as Oswald Cobblepot, aka well, The Penguin.

The series will be executive produced by Matt Reeves, Dylan Clark, Colin Farrell, and Lauren LeFranc, the latter of whom will writes and serve as showrunner. It is produced by Reeves 6th & Idaho Productions and Dylan Clark Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. 6th & Idahos Daniel Pipski and Adam Kassan also serve as executive producers, and Rafi Crohn is co-executive producer.
Reeves said of the news, Colin exploded off the screen as the Penguin in The Batman, and having the chance to thoroughly explore the inner life of that character on HBO Max is an absolute thrill. Dylan and I are so excited to work with Lauren in continuing Ozs story as he grabs violently for power in Gotham.

Farrell added, The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot. I couldnt be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem.

Another questionable casting decision from DC

I'm really excited to see how these Batman spin offs turn out. Especially with how good Peacemaker was. So I'm all for this.

Whats with all of the Batman shows?

Colin Farrell was great as The Penguin wtf

Also I actually don't mind this after seeing the movie since this Penguin hasn't quite yet taken over Gotham. Also Peacemaker made me think you could make a great show out of basically anything.

I for one can't wait to watch a show that centers around the penguin

I think he's trying to somehow imply that The Penguin being in The Batman is somehow a spoiler even though he was said to be in the movie before the first trailer even hit, and subsequent trailers showed off scenes like the Batmobile chase. Not our fault some people live under rocks.
