The Batmandirector Matt Reeves confirms talks aboutThe Penguinseason 2 are currently underway.The Penguinis currently the highest-ratedDCseries in history, andThe Batman - Part IIis in development. Matt Reeves’The Batmanfranchise is thriving separately from James Gunn’s DCU, raising expectations for futureElseworldsprojects such asThe Batman - Part IIIandMatt Reeves' other possibleThe Batmanspinoffs, which could expand the franchise outside of Robert Pattinson’sDark Knight.
In an interview forVarietywith Catwoman actor Zoë Kravitz,The Batmandirector Matt Reeves reveals that he’s discussing early plans forThe Penguinseason 2 with showrunner Lauren LeFranc.AlthoughThe Penguinwas conceived as a one-season miniseries, its overwhelmingly positive reception warrants another story starring Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb. Read Reeves' comments below:
“Yeah, we’re talking to [showrunner] Lauren [LeFranc] about doing another season. That was a special experience. I just feel really fortunate. These characters don’t belong to me; they belong to the world. It comes down to whether you can approach them in a way that expresses something personal.”
What The Penguin Season 2 Update Means
The Penguin Season 1 Exceeded All Expectations
WhileThe Penguinwould inevitably set up more than one storyline forThe Batman - Part II, the series intended to tell a standalone story centered around Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, Cristin Millioti’s Sofia Falcone, Rhenzy Feliz’s Victor Aguilar, and the rest ofThe Penguin’s star-studded cast. However,The Penguinwas so well received by critics and audiences that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. may not want to miss their chance to replicate its successwith a second season.
Our Take On The Penguin Season 2 Update
The Penguin Season 2 Could Give The Batman Movies More Room To Delve Deeper Into Gotham
The Penguinseason 2 certainly can delve deeper into Oz Cobb’s twisted psyche and his rise to power, as teased byThe Penguinepisode 8’s ending, where Oz starts working with Gotham’s dirty politicians.The Penguinseason 2 could also showThe Batman - Part II’s aftermath from Oz’s perspectiveand introduce a new antagonist that tests Oz’s ideals. AfterThe Penguinremoved everything that kept Oz from becoming a full-blown villain,The Penguinseason 2 could remind him why Francis and Victor Aguilar used to keep his villainous impulses in check.
Sorry, But The Final Shot Of The Penguin Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Does
The final shot of The Penguin may have sparked the wrong idea about The Batman’s whereabouts throughout the tumultuous events of the show.
If Matt Reeves and Lauren LeFranc move ahead withThe Penguinseason 2, it’s possible thatThe Batman - Part IIandThe Batman - Part IIIwill have more time to explore Robert Pattinson’s Batman and his next antagonist, asThe Batman - Part IImay currently devote a significant part of its runtime to Oz Cobb’s story after the events ofThe Penguinseason 1. Eventually, Matt Reeves’The Batmanfranchise could be a Penguin story as much as it is a Batman story.
