The Penguin is set to release on Max very soon, and executive producers Matt Reeves and Dylan Clark recently shared their hopes for Gotham's future, the evolution of Oswald "Oz" Cobb, and its connections with The Batman Part II.

The Batman brought a grungey new take on DC's Dark Knight and reopened Gotham City for business, HBO's The Penguin is back to remind us all why we loved that movie so much. That episode 1 achieves that while expanding the world and turning the light of the Bat Signal onto Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb without Robert Pattinson's Bat is a hugely impressive start.

Plucking from the Batman sequel story to "The Long Halloween," "Batman: Dark Victory," this new show rearranges pivotal moments in Gotham's gritty history by way of Sofia Falcone, who is played by Cristin Milioti.
