The Penguin, the upcoming TV show spin-off set in the universe of The Batman, might not be the last time we see the Robert Pattinson project sees a spin-off. Producer Dylan Clark told Entertainment Weekly that he is considering “another television exploration” of the Batman universe.
“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,” Clark said.
That’s all he had to say on the matter, but the Batman universe is a rich tapestry that the key creatives could draw from for potential storytelling.
Also in the interview, it’s confirmed that The Penguin will lead “almost directly” into The Batman 2, featuring Robert Pattinson coming back to play the role for the 2026 film. “We are the bridge between the two films, showrunner Lauren LeFranc said.
Whether or not Pattinson’s Batman appears in The Penguin remains unknown, however.
The Penguin premieres this September. It’s a Scarface-type story that reveals how Oz (Colin Farrell) rises up through the ranks to become a true power player in Gotham. More details on The Penguin will be revealed this Saturday, July 27, during a big Hall 5 panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
