Following the events of "The Batman" directed by Matt Reeves, the series explores the rise of Colin Farrell's character, The Penguin, in Gotham City's criminal underworld. A teaser trailer released in March has already provided viewers with a glimpse of the show's dark and gritty atmosphere.

Both series highlight Warner Bros' strategy of leveraging its extensive intellectual property to create compelling new content for its streaming service.

"The Penguin" spin-off series is set to release on Max this September.

"The Batman," directed by Matt Reeves, was a major success, praised for its dark, grounded take on the iconic superhero. Starring Robert Pattinson as the titular character, the film introduced audiences to a more detective-focused and psychologically complex version of Batman. The spin-off series, "The Penguin," is expected to continue this tone, providing a deeper look into Gotham's underworld through the eyes of one of Batman's most notorious foes.
