‘The Penguin’: Everything To Know
‘The Penguin’ begins right after the events of Matt Reeves’ highly successful ‘The Batman.’ The last time we saw Bruce Wayne he was beaten to a pulp yet ready to rid the city of Gotham of criminals. Now, the series continues the story of the hawk and the penguin after they were released from the Arkham Asylum.
Additionally, the exact plot is unknown. However, it likely focuses on Penguin’s rise to power in Gotham’s criminal underworld, potentially with Batman trying to stop him. Moreover, the possibilities are endless due to Robert Pattinson’s alleged addiction. This crossover also helps to tie the films and series within the DC Universe even closer. Like the MCU, the DC universe is gradually connecting stories across the platforms.
