TheBatman series Penguin has halted production for the WGA strike.
The ongoing WGA strike has rightfully shut down many high-profile productions over the last number of weeks. While series like House of the Dragon and Welcome to Derry look to push through the strike, the Writers Guild of America has successfully urged Warner Brothers Discovery’s DC series The Penguin to pause production until the writers can get a fair deal.
Penguin was set to film in Westchester, New York today, but the WGA East arrived early and in full force, according to Deadline. As with many other productions in the past week, including Netflix heavyweight Stranger Things, Teamsters and local guilds are refusing to cross the picket line. This is not a good look for Warner Bros and new CEO David Zaslav who are trying to restore the DC brand to its former glory.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Why the Writers Strike is Not Going Away In these frankly scary times, writing as a career is being threatened. The rise of AI has been particularly disconcerting. Writers want protection against AI, protection from “free work,” protection for writers rooms, and the elimination of mini rooms. By and large, studios are trying to turn writing as an art form into a permanent freelance gig which the WGA is actively fighting against.

If Warner Bros wants to make that release window, it looks like they should pay their writers what they deserve before they start looking like Penguin themselves hanging out at the rundown Iceberg Lounge. While we wait for further updates on the strike, the production teaser for Penguin can be viewed down below.
