For a while, fans of Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN UNIVERSE have wondered (hoped) if Robert Pattinson would show up in THE PENGUIN HBO series as Batman.

According to film critic/columnist Jeff Sneider (via THE HOT MIC YouTube show), based on some recent scuttlebutt making the ’rounds, it’s going to happen — though we should all keep it filed under “Solid Rumor” for the time being.

I’ve always figured that it was a strong possibility considering how into and devoted RP is to this BatVerse.  Plus, since THE PENGUIN picks up right after the events of THE BATMAN and leads right into THE BATMAN: PART II, it makes sense if The Batman would show up at some point.  With that said, I don’t expect it to be anything big — probably nothing more than an extended cameo as Batman or perhaps just as Bruce Wayne.

We shall see soon enough as THE PENGUIN begins filming in NYC very soon (hell, they might’ve already started) and the series will make its debut sometime late this year or early 2024. – 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.
