Batman: The Penguin Explores Gotham Without Bruce Wayne
Batman: The Penguin and the Absence of Bruce Wayne
In a surprising move, HBO's The Penguin series is set to expand Matt Reeves' Batman universe but will not feature Bruce Wayne, played by Robert Pattinson. According to showrunner Lauren LeFranc, there's a well-thought-out reason for this choice.
Focusing on Gotham's Underworld
LeFranc insists that the series will delve into the gritty reality of Gotham City, particularly highlighting Oswald Cobblepot's journey after the events of the first Batman film released in 2022.
- Oswald Cobblepot aims to reclaim his status
- Exploration of crime and corruption in Gotham
- Bruce Wayne's absence is strategic
The production aims to offer a raw presentation of Gotham's challenges without the interference of Batman's character, making this narrative choice both bold and impactful.
