While The Batman’s sequel is still over two years away, fans can at least look forward to the spin-off TV series The Penguin which is set to premiere on HBO GO in the Philippines.
In case you need a refresher, Oz Cobb aka The Penguin (played by Colin Farrell) is a key character in Matt Reeves’ 2022 Batman movie. Even though he wasn’t the main antagonist, he still played a big role in the film’s story.
For fans of the movie who want to see more of him, DC Studios has a new The Penguin TV series that’s coming this September, and it’s set one week after the events of the 2022 Batman movie.
