The chances of Robert Pattinsons’s Batman showing up in the new DC series, The Penguin, are addressed by the creative team.
In a new SFX magazine interview with The Penguin showrunner Lauren LeFranc and executive producer Matt Reeves, the duo were asked whether fans should expect to see Pattinson make a cameo as Batman. LeFranc and Reeves made it clear that this show is meant to represent different corners of The Batman universe, sharing the following:
Lauren LeFranc: To me, I think it packs a different punch. Matt’s films are through the lens of the Batman, so you’re high up, looking down on the city. It’s a different perspective. With Oz, you’re in the city streets, you’re in the grit and the muck and the grime. He’s looking up, wanting to claw his way to the top. So it’s a different experience. I think Gotham is an interesting enough city that it deserves to have more doors unlocked within it, and for us to walk through those and see what we think.
Matt Reeves: I don’t feel like it’s missing something fundamental. I feel like it’s an extension of what is fundamentally there. We know this is the world of Batman. You’re going down a different alley. So the spectre of Batman is there. The spectre of the Riddler is there. The spectre of everything that happens in the last movie is there. It informs it. And it’s exactly where we begin.
