The Penguin's rise to power will indeed continue after The Batman.

Just five days after the superhero movie's big opening weekend, HBO Max has ordered a spin-off limited series starring Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobblepot. Tentatively titled The Penguin, the DC drama "expands upon the world" established by The Batman director Matt Reeves.

"The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot," Farrell said in a statement. "I couldn't be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become the Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem."

Totally.

He's really great in the film.

He and Kravitz are both standouts.

I do want her to be more violent maybe in the next movie.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Why can't she just be fluid/"figuring it out"? Is there a specific plot point that is notably ambiguous or confusing because of this?
