Despite all the DC upheavals: “The Batman 2” is safe – and prepared by a series

A lot has happened since James Gunn became DC’s new boss. Henry Cavill has been dismissed as Superman and things are looking very bad for numerous other heroes as well. Many fans also worried about the future of Robert Pattinson’s Dark Knight after “The Batman” thrilled so many people. Though Gunn revealed that he’s already talked to director Matt Reeves about the future, those concerns didn’t go away. But recent statements by Reeves make it clear they are baseless.

how reported, while the filmmaker was very careful in the interview and did not put “The Batman 2” directly into his mouth, he made it clear that which he shared with his comrades-in-arms Mattson Tomlin in the middle of working on the screenplay and look forward to continuing to work with Robert Pattinson.

The series “The Penguin” is preparing “The Batman 2”.

And then there’s another project that has been announced for a long time, but is still a long time coming: A series based on Colin Farrell’s The Penguin. That too is probably safe. Reeves revealed that filming will begin “really, very soon.” The series “Penguin” plays a key role in this, she must not only expand the well-known villain character, but also prepare “The Batman 2”.

The series will lead directly into “The Batman 2” and also clarify what the movie sequel will be, explains Reeves. Still, the series will differ significantly from the films, Sarah Aubrey, who monitors the implementation for the American streaming service HBO Max, revealed in the past. After all, the penguin is a completely different character from Batman. He hacks and carves his way through the darkest streets of Gotham. The series is therefore “street level” in the truest sense of the word. He also doesn’t fly around like Batman, who mainly views the world from above.

It is also already known that the series “The Penguin” will consist of eight episodes. In addition to Colin Farrell in the title role, Cristin Milioti (“Palm Springs”, the mother from “How I Met Your Mother”) has already been confirmed as the second lead actress. She plays Sofia Falcone, daughter of Carmine Falcone (played by John Turturro in The Batman). In The Penguin, you and the title character compete to fill the created power vacuum and take control of Gotham’s underworld.

“The penguin‘ should be released in 2024, with ‘The Batman2“We only calculate for 2025. However, there is no announcement of the launch date yet.
