“It’s really dark and really heavy,” he told MovieZine. “It’s incredibly violent. It’s one man’s rise to what he’s always dreamed of inhabiting, which is a certain power or social status.”

Colin also explained how the show continues the story that The Batman started. If you don’t recall, the film’s ending saw John Turturro‘s Carmine Falcone bite the dust.

“The death of Carmine Falcone at the end of the film leaves this vacuum in Gotham to be filled, so there are various people grabbing for that power,” he said. “This is Oswald’s journey of trying to rise to the top through extraordinary obstacles. It’s super dark… [it's] a really twisted 8 hours of television.”

The Penguin is expected to premiere sometime in Fall 2024.
