The Penguin fills in the gap from the hit 2022 film The Batman to its sequel in 2026. The Penguin takes a look at the Batman villain from the perspective of a mobster show, a la The Sopranos. It is probably the biggest surprise of the year, and is receiving universal acclaim.

Why you should join this fandom
If you were a fan of The Batman, the 2022 film, you should watch The Penguin. With Part II releasing in 2026, The Penguin sets up the next installment, following the journey of Oswald Cobb’s rise to lead the criminal world of Gotham. The Penguin will have you on an emotional rollercoaster, going from liking the character to despising him by the end of the series.
What we’ll remember about this fandom a decade from now
This will be the gold standard for superhero shows. Colin Farrell as The Penguin and Christin Milioti as Sofia Falcone should win a bunch of awards for their roles. The Penguin could very well set the tone for the next two Batman films. It’s a credit to the show that they really raised expectations for future Batman films.
