Matt Reeves explained why Robert Pattinson, who played Batman in the same world, doesn't appear. "The Penguin" is the second project set within Matt Reeves' grim, violent take on the DC universe, following 2022's " The Batman " which starred Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Reprising his role from 2022's "The Batman," it's impossible not to be captivated by Colin Farrell as villain "The Penguin."

A Batman baddie gets the spotlight in HBO's "The Penguin," but Colin Farrell puts a charmingly sinister spin on the familiar villain.
