Exclusive: 'The Penguin' series will tie into 'The Batman' sequel film.

While we still don’t know where DC Studios’ co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran will lead the DC Universe next, Matt Reeves’ BatVerse is still running full steam ahead. During an exclusive interview with Collider’s Steven Weintraub for the 15th anniversary of Cloverfield, Reeves gave away new details about The Penguin series, which stars Colin Farrell, and revealed how the HBO Max miniseries will be essential in setting up The Batman sequel.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY One of these spinoff projects is a series focused on the Penguin , who is one of Batman’s most iconic villains.

As Reeves tells us, “We are very, very soon going to start shooting The Penguin with Colin. That is super exciting.
