The Penguin Series Explores Gotham's Underworld

Colin Farrell's 'The Penguin' spin-off series from 'The Batman' explores Oswald Cobblepot's rise in Gotham's underworld, focusing on his power moves following Carmine Falcone's death. The absence of Robert Pattinson's Batman is explained by the series' short timeline and the Caped Crusader's limited influence in certain city areas during his early crime-fighting career. Cristin Milioti's portrayal of Sofia Falcone has been highlighted as a standout performance, adding depth and intensity to the show. The series has received positive reactions, earning high ratings, and explores new facets of Gotham's criminal landscape. Promotional efforts included a special edition of the Gotham Gazette newspaper distributed in New York City, bridging the narrative gap between 'The Batman' and 'The Penguin'. Plans for other spin-offs, including a GCPD-focused series, were scrapped in favor of concentrating on marquee characters.
