The Penguin is finally here, the much anticipated spin-off from the hit 2022 film The Batman which centers on Colin Farrell's gangster Oz Cobb.

The first episode of The Penguin just dropped and we're now recapping the events of "After Hours" as The Batman's Oz Cobb makes his move on Gotham City. Can he possibly become the new Kingpin of Crime?

"The Penguin" picks up shortly after the events of the 2022 movie The post ‘The Batman’ Recap: 5 Things to Remember Before ‘The Penguin’ appeared first on TheWrap.

The Penguin opens with a murder and the consequences of that action sets the stage for a gang war between the Falcones and the Maronis.

The Batman brought a grungey new take on DC's Dark Knight and reopened Gotham City for business, HBO's The Penguin is back to remind us all why we loved that movie so much. That episode 1 achieves that while expanding the world and turning the light of the Bat Signal onto Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb without Robert Pattinson's Bat is a hugely impressive start.

The Penguin follows Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, as he makes a ruthless bid for power in Gotham City’s criminal underworld. The eight-episode series captures his relentless ambition to take control of the city’s crime empire.
