The Penguin Showrunner on Robert Pattinson’s Batman discussions, potential season 2, Catwoman, and more

Despite reliable sources claiming that Batman Star Robert Pattinson would appear as a black knight The penguinThe Capué Capué de Gotham was not found. The closest that we made a clue that Batman was starting at least to consider Oz Cobb as a problem was the closing shot of the final of the bat signal illuminating the night sky.

The showrunner Lauren Lefranc has already confirmed that she had had early discussions with Matt Reeves to bring Pattinson for a cameo, and now explained why they finally decided not to do it.

“Matt and I talked about it a lot. It just didn’t feel necessary,” Lefranc tells THR. “I had the impression that we will tear it away just to say that we had the Batman in our show, when in reality, I have the impression that my goal was at least to create fairly rich and convincing characters that you were not desperate to see it, what I knew is an order of high content because so many people like Batman, and Rob Pattinson is so good. So, yes, we talked about it, but honestly, we just didn’t want to interfere with the story we had.

Cark Knight of Pattinson could he appear in season 2? This is certainly possible, but Lefranc also clearly indicates that there are still no plans in place for a second season, and even if there were, we would only see it after after Batman – Part II will be released in theaters in 2027.

“There is no current update. [of The Penguin] or not. I think we have already said it, but I really think: we must be confident that we can complement ourselves, and this is something that is really important for Colin Farrell and me, especially; Otherwise, we don’t want to redo something if it is not going to be excellent. We were always supposed to be a limited series. So rotating a second season is simply different – it’s not something we really talked about. “”

Finally, Lefranc approaches that Selina Kyle / Catwoman teases the last episode, with the incarcerated Sofia Falcone receiving a letter from the half-sister that she had never known.

“From my point of view, it is Sofia’s emotional arch as a character, that the whole season is the fact that her family betrayed her. She tries to reach out. She tries to understand herself in this family, and she finally realizes that she is very alone. Recalls the asylum of Arkham very well. She is lost, and it is heartbreaking, and it was really important for me.

Although this has not specifically put in place a future appearance of Catwoman, it would be assumed that the plot point will be revisited in Batman Following-If Kyle returns, that is to say. A recent rumor said that Zoë Kravitz may not resume his role, although we said it was probably an attempt to limit the questions related to Batman during the actress’s press tour.

The penguin Also put in featured Cristin Milioti (Sofia Falcone), Rhenzy Feliz (Victor Aguilar), Michael Kelly (Johnny Viti), Shohreh Aghdashloo (Nadia Maroni), Deirdre O’Connell (Francis Cobb), Cancy Brown (Salvatore Maroni), James Madio (Milos Grapa), Scott Cohen (Luca Cohen), Scott Cohen (Luca) Falcone), Michael Zegen (Alberto Falcone), Carmen Ejogo (Eve Karlo) and Theo Rossi (Dr Julian Rush).
