Although Robert Pattinson"s Batman doesn"t appear in The Penguin, the series continues to build the gritty Gotham City established by 2022"s The Batman, and subtly sets up Matt Reeves" The Batman - Part II with a deeper look into Gotham"s criminal underworld and a shake-up in the hierarchy of the city"s organized crime.
Speaking to ScreenRant at the 2025 Golden Globes, The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc expresses her satisfaction with the show"s overwhelmingly positive reception. LeFranc defends The Penguin"s limited series nature and confirms that a direct follow-up will only be made with "the right idea or the right characters". LeFranc also says she would "be honored" to helm a new project in Matt Reeves" The Batman universe, but explains she would only tackle the project if she found "something unique and different" with the characters. Read Lauren LeFranc"s full comments below:

Lauren LeFranc: We were meant to be a limited series, so I"m really proud of the first season and the story that we made. There"s more stories to tell there, for sure, if we can find the right idea or the right characters.
I"m not sure about that yet, but I"m really proud of the work that we"ve done.
ScreenRant: Is there another character that you"d like to take a crack at in bringing into the Matt Reeves Universe?
Lauren LeFranc: For me, it"s just about making sure I can find a personal connection to that character and feel like I can do something unique and different with them. That"s what I felt like I found with Oz, and then in that world, I was able to bring in Sofia and all these other characters. So, for me, it"s always seeking something personal. And if I can latch onto that, I"d be honored to.
