Colin Farrell has given a small update on THE PENGUIN via EXTRA TV.  He says the series begins right after the ending of THE BATMAN…like, just a week after the flood.  Check out the video below!

I sorta figured that’s where it would begin based on the events of THE BATMAN and the fact that it wasn’t going to be a prequel.  With Carmine Falcone dead, there’s going to be an organized crime power vacuum in Gotham and I’m sure many people will try to fill it.  Oz Cobbleputt for sure…and maybe even Sal Maroni?  You gotta think he’s going to be released from prison because his conviction was tainted by the corruption in Gotham.

THE PENGUIN is set to begin filming early in 2023 and will air on HBO Max in the very near future. You can follow BOF’s extensive coverage of the series HERE.  In the meantime…

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
