What Will The Penguin Series Be About?
Penguin will see what happens after The Batman ends with Gotham still facing the massive flood that Riddler caused so it is still in a state of fiasco.
It is yet to be revealed what The Penguin would exactly be about but it is expected to heavily lean on how Penguin rose to power in the criminal underworld of Gotham City.
In the comics, Penguin is a supervillain who is also known as Oswald Cobblepot.
Penguins is a popular villain of Batman who dates back to 1941, created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.
While he is a short and fat man, Penguin is fancied as the "Gentleman of Crime" in Gotham City with his top hat, monocle, suit, and signature umbrella as his identifier.
Owning the Iceberg Lounge, Penguin has the perfect way to pull off all his criminal activities in the Gotham Underworld.
More than that, unlike the other villains of Batman, Penguin's sanity is intact which means that he has volition on every criminal action he does, making him a formidable enemy of the Caped Crusader.
Penguin started as a skilled thief in Gotham City through hiding the canvases of the paintings at an art museum in his umbrella.
From then on, he rose to power to being a local mob boss that brought him to being with a crime family.
Through the years, Penguin became a consistent villain in giving Batman, and even Robin, problems in Gotham City.
Penguin is a master criminal with a goal of, not only being wealthy, but also powerful enough to be feared, even by the elites of Gotham City.
He has built connections over his tenure as a villain who need not possess any supernatural powers but only through his wit and skills in fighting.
This is possibly one of the ways that the upcoming spinoff series could deliver The Penguin to the screens.
Where to Watch The Penguin Series?
Much like the other DC projects, even after the merger of Warner Bros. Discovery, The Penguin remains under the wings of DC Studios.
Despite not being under the same umbrella as that of the other DC projects, Penguin is still under the same studio, thus, releasing on the same platform as the others.
Penguin is set to come out on Max, the new name of HBO Max after its rebranding.
Max, the rebranded name of HBO Max, is said to maintain the subscription price of HBO Max with the $10 plan for an ad-supported tier, $16 for that without ads, and $20 for the plan with the most inclusions.
The Penguin is expected to be under the Max Originals that could be coming out on the new name of the streaming platform.
Late last year, the merger of Warner Bros. Discovery cooked up a lot of changes in the industry, not only on the streaming platform, but also in the projects of the two industry giants including that of the DC Universe.
Warner Bros. Discovery instated their new CEO, David Zaslav, who handles the company, the projects they handle, and its transition to a new mega-studio that will be bringing titles that the could define the future of the industry.
Get excited as the rise of the villain, Oswald Cobblepot, arrives on MAx this coming 2024!
