Max has finally revealed a fresh look for The Penguin series, offering new footage for the first time in eight months. Starring Colin Farrell who will reprise his role as Oswald Cobblepot from Matt Reeves’ The Batman, The Penguin will follow Cobblepot’s rise to power in Gotham City’s underworld. Now, this new promo offers a new tease as to what audiences can expect from the spin-off series set in the same universe as Robert Pattinson’s Batman.
The very first trailer for The Penguin was released eight months ago, back in April of 2023. Now, this new Max promo for 2024 has finally revealed a few new shots of the DC series which has resumed production following the end of the writer and actor strikes. The new Penguin footage begins at the 1:20 mark:
While brief, it is exciting to finally get a new look at the highly-anticipated DC show starring Farrell whose portrayal of Penguin in The Batman was largely considered to be one of the movie’s best performances.

Matt Reeves continues his The Batman universe with some spinoff TV series, and the first to release is HBO Max’s The Penguin starring Colin Farrell.
Will The Penguin Feature An Appearance From Robert Pattinson’s Batman?
In both The Penguin’s first trailer and this new footage, some potential lines from Cobblepot could be directed toward Pattinson’s Dark Knight. Furthermore, the trailer does feature Penguin shooting a figure off-screen who could very well be Batman, especially considering Penguin’s prior comments about how people will say his name in the streets once this person is gone. However, he could also be talking to potential rivals looking to take advantage of the power vacuum in Gotham’s underworld following the death of Oswald’s boss Carmine Falcone (as seen in The Batman).
In any case, an appearance from Pattinson’s Batman does make sense and has been heavily rumored during The Penguin’s production. Although the show has been understandably delayed due to the strikes, it is still scheduled for 2024. With any luck, a new Penguin trailer will be released sooner rather than later.
