“The Penguin” is upon us, but before we jump back into Gotham City, it’s important to remember where we left off.
The series is a direct spinoff of the 2022 film “The Batman.” The film saw the early days of the Caped Crusader (Robert Pattinson) investigating a number of murders at the hand of The Riddler (Paul Dano), which led him to cross paths with Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell). Oz is a far cry from the legendary Batman villain he’s destined to become, but the film sets up his power grab opportunity.
Oz serves as a lieutenant in the Falcone crime family in the film and the death of the patriarch sets up some room for him to climb.
