The Penguin seems like a brilliant new dimension for the ailing superhero genre. After Matt Reeves' excellent The Batman, the streaming spinoff will depict breakout character Oz Cobblepot's new rise to power in Gotham's underworld. It's a sequel that can explore new dimensions before the sequel drops in 2025. One of its most fascinating character decisions will see Alberto Falcone join the cast, implying a classic comic book narrative as a potential future subject.
